I think it was greener, but not green enough.
My concern with Mario is even if this style would eventually allow us to play with and hang with the upper tier teams, we look so bad right now that if we don't adapt our play calling for what works with our current players, that the damage being done will severely impact recruiting and then we never get to or at the minimum it is going to delay getting to the level/type of players we need to make that style work.
They had 2 weeks, hopefully they were able to at least adapt a bit. And of course, if the D didn't make some changes it's not going to matter what offense we are running this week.
I am not sure about the bolded part.
Everybody and their mother knows the extended warranty on a used car is a rip-off, but every day some slick, veteran used car salesman convinces some poor sap to buy one. They've read it's worthless, been told it's trash, and they still buy it. Why? Because that man can sell. We may not believe in Mario's ability to hire an OC who implements a modern, vertical offense, or his ability to use his TOs properly, but we would be foolish to doubt Mario's ability to recruit.
