It seems UM’s offense will stay wide-open, vertical, dynamic and spread…

[Cryptical Envelopment]

When speculation swirled late in the season that Manny Diaz would be replaced, Miami Hurricanes QB commitment Jacurri Brown set up a Mississippi official visit as a "just in case."

That "just in case" wasn't as much about Diaz as it was about what an unknown - at the time - new head coach might foresee for the offense. Brown said he wanted the Canes to remain a spread wide-open attack that forced other teams to defend vertically as well as horizontally.

That Mississippi visit was supposed to be this weekend.

Instead Brown is in Miami for a second official visit to Coral Gables.

He talked with Mario Cristobal the day the coach was hired, met him in person on Thursday, and believes there is total alignment between what he wants in an offense and what Cristobal wants.

Mario literally said he was building around TVD. We have been linked to Brady and Briles for OC so we are looking good

Good.. cause I was legitimately worried he wanted to bring smash mouth FB here..

I want a spread attack but I want us to be able to lineup and get a yard running when we need to lol

Frankly, I was really worried about this.

It shows me that Mario will utilize the skills of the players he already has and not try to force them to only adopt a system that he is familiar with.

That may change eventually as he starts getting "his" players but that's NOT where we are now.

Shows me that he wants to win NOW. No dropping gears to rebuild. He is going to try to make this team become awesome on the fly. Ya gotta love it

IF it's not broken leave it alone. Improve it but go with it.

This is the way it should be. It’s what has hurt every HC we’ve had since Coker. Instead of coming in and playing to the strengths you currently possess, they have all tried yo force their systems. Every. Single. One.

Win now with what you have and build up momentum to land the big recruits for the system you ultimately want. This game is always about adapting.

I'd love to see Jacurri in a Willy Korn offense. that would be scary.

I’m getting tired of saying “this is your best one yet”

But

This was my main concern when we hired Mario. Hope he does keep it wide open.

 

[Cane since 1060]

Great post I love Jacurri’s potential absolutely prime grade. And I am happy to get a feel here that we will keep a spread concept. Surely Mario will go a little old school but he knows what is working here.

 

[305to954]

This is apart of a couple trepidation’s I had with Mario. I know he’s organized. I know he can be the CEO type. It’s some of the philosophy and game day coaching. Mainly being too conservative. Hope he follows through on this

 

[Go Canes!!]

Huge if true!!

 

[MiamiCanesFan77]

Lashlee’s offense with a more talented offensive line that can impose their will when necessary (i.e. short yardage situations)… sounds good.

@5NC4 meet @5XNC. Now go make a baby. We need another ring.

That's what I am/was afraid of......3 yards and a cloud of dust offense. TVD is an assassin...we need to build the offense around his strengths.

Lashlee's offense with Cristobal/Mirabal O line would have been very exciting :-

 

[coffeecane]

Diaz said the same thing then hired enos. I don't doubt it will happen and that's not what he wants. Just wouldn't take that as a guarantee.

Agreed but I think this is as much about personnel as play calling. When we inserted a fullback/h-back into the lineup Knighton gained the yard. When we tried to run power out of a 3-4WR alignment (Mallory is more WR than TE when it comes to blocking), we lacked the numbers and were stopped.
I would keep an FB or HB on the rooster just for short yardage situations. After all, that is probably 2-5 plays per game and they are all very, very important plays. Forget trying to fool anyone in short yardage with personnel. If we want deception, use the big lineup and then sneak someone out for a pass like we did with Knighton against UVA
