Dan Enos = Dan Werner

If you liked Dan Werner’s offenses at Miami you will like Enos.

Enos runs a very similar scheme with more motion, deception, and RPO.

Now this is assuming he uses more of his Arkansas offense (where he was OC) vs more of the Bama offense (where he was QBC)

Go watch any Arkansas game from 2016, then watch Miami in 2004 against Louisville or whoever else.

I’m not even sure if we have seen his full playbook and style. At Arkansas he was still being handcuffed by fat boy at head coach who wanted to run his old Wisky offense of pounding the rock BIG 10 style.
 
Is anyone else excited about the prospect of seeing one of our players catch a pass without a man in tight coverage? I haven't seen the opposing team bust a coverage in years because of the vanilla looks we gave on offense. We may actually get to see guys get schemed open, and I love it.

I don’t think they compare. I found Werner to be out of the “Richt all verts” school of thought than RPO.

Werner was far more sophisticated than Richt in the passing attack. I went back and watched a few games from 2004 last night.

And I did say that Enos would bring RPO and more motion/deception than Werner.

But the route trees and run game are really similar.

Werner has a great offensive mind - so don’t take my original post in the wrong way.

It's honestly not a terrible comparison, IMO. As has been stated in this thread already, Enos is a rich-man's Werner - more success as a QB coach and more innovative as a playcaller IMO but their approaches and statistical results are indeed similar. Multiple formations and sets, lots and lots of playaction. The part I bolded is the part that really separates the two in my opinion. Enos moves guys around constantly and I feel has a better knack for building plays on plays (just based on the film I've watched of course.) But you look at what Werner did at Ole Miss and what Enos did at Arkansas and I can see the comparison.
 
Going strictly by what I've seen and heard from Enos in interviews here, his offense will look more like the one at Alabama last year than Arkansas in 2016.

I think we'll see elements of both, and a lot will depend on who the QB is. And there are actually some elements of Alabama 2018 that carry over from Arkansas 2015/16 - heavy playaction, deep crossing routes, motion, etc. As has been state there will most likely be more RPO but again, that will depend on who can pick up the reads quickest.

Agreed. I don't think there's a black and white difference between the two either. He still maximizes options for personnel groupings and likes to be able to show power but still spread it out. I think he's more open to the designed quarterback run game and the RPO. I doubt he'll lean as heavily on the power running game here.

There are some similar elements but you can find those when comparing almost anyone. Werner went with way more double/triple TEs and unbalanced lines than I've ever seen Enos do. Werner also didn't use a ton of motion. More than Richt but that's not saying much.

I recall people complaining about our offense back then, saying we should have been more aggressive considering our talent.

What I remember most from his offense.

Was 2004 with the ACC on the line....we scored 10 points at home versus VT and lost 16-10

Then in 2005 against an unranked GT at home with the Coastal division on the line....we scored 10 points and lost 14-10.
