It's not that hard

[88]

Keep hearing stuff around here like "83-03 was a good run for such a such a small program" and beta whining about the changing landscape of college football. One thing we did right in our run was pick the right guys.

It's 2018 and we still see what kind of defense we can have here just running an aggressive 4-3. You want an offense? It's not that hard:

This is a Mike Leach thread, sort of. Those who have a stick up their *** about him need to let it go. I'm not saying bring in Leach himself but we have to get with the tree.

So to round it up:

Both Briles
Lincoln Riley
Dino Babers
Josh Heupal
Kliff Kinsbury
Dana Holgorson

Gary Patterson is starting to surround himself with Leach disciples as well.

Incase you don't feel like digesting those stats... Three of the top five offenses in the nation are out of the Leach Tree. 6 of the top 16 are either Leach himself or from the tree. You know what these offenses don't have, too? Florida speed.

This isn't that ******* hard. Run an aggressive 4-3 defense. Have someone who cut their teeth under Leach coordinate the offensive.

The Rock would be overflowing with popcorn watching an aggressive d and Leach rooted offense, and recruiting would be easy. There's plenty of coaches out there that have taken on his concepts at this point as the tree continued to grow. Just get one.

I mean well know this already. We have a lazy staff that doesnt believe in detail , micromanagement, advanced scouting, creating mismatches etc ..... we have meat and potatoes/ 1960's/ lets just line up and execute/ Analog not digital type of offensive staff and it wont change anytime soon

Get the ball into the hands of our high calf guys in space. Put them in places they can thrive. It's not complicated. Thanks OP. Good post.

EDIT: This is an excerpt from an article on Phil Longo, Ole Miss's OC averaging 537 yards a game. Go ahead and make it 7 of the top 16 offenses taking on Leach form.


"Two decades earlier, Longo was a high school coach in Jersey searching for an offensive identity. He’d find it in SEC country when he drove 11 hours to hear then-Kentucky offensive coordinator Mike Leach speak. Longo figured he’d introduce himself and try to pick Leach’s brain more at the end of the coach’s clinic talk. Problem was about three dozen other coaches had a similar idea.
“I was the last one to leave the room,” Longo said. “But it was a great trip. I came back very enlightened.”
Longo now visits Leach almost yearly and also visits with Kliff Kingsbury. Longo met the Texas Tech head coach back when Kingsbury was the Red Raiders' star QB sitting in the quarterbacks room while the Jersey native was spending a couple of days with Leach in Lubbock. “Every time I go to Mike — even if I don’t bring back something specific — I come back with a better coaching point or a little wrinkle or just looking at things from his viewpoint, which is really creative,” said Longo, who has watched every play Leach has run since his days at Kentucky. “It’s been incredibly beneficial."

Im at the point now where I would even hire Leach and pay Diaz or Aranda or Brown a boatload.

We desperately need to change the way we have done things. This whole “lets recruit and out talent guys” thing is dead.

This will sound good















until they lose to Cal.

Wazzou can lose every game the rest of the season. Doesn't change the fact that his system works. Give that **** WSU team our defense and they go undefeated in that conference.

 

[Astcloud11]

until they lose to Cal.

Then he would continue to be an average HC and one of, if not THE best offensive mind in college football.

If this is true, we should purge his staff. Fire Jon Richt / Stacey Searels.

Hire Mason Miller as OC/OL Coach:

Miller arrives in Pullman after serving one year as Nevada’s offensive line coach, under first-year coach Jay Norvell. No stranger to the Air Raid system, Miller has spent the majority of his career coaching in that style of offense, working with both Leach and Hal Mumme, two of the Air Raid’s architects.
Miller, who has coached at all three levels of the NCAA, has been a key part in establishing lethal offenses wherever he goes. As part of the coaching staff at Southeastern Louisiana, New Mexico State, McMurry and Tarleton State, Miller’s offenses have set numerous school records and have ranked in the top five in the nation in multiple offensive categories.
During his time at Tarleton State (2014-16), Miller constructed the team’s high powered offense into one of the most potent in the nation. For the 2014 season Tarleton State ranked third nationally in total offense, averaging 534 yards per game and put up 43 points per game. The same continued in 2015 with one of the most high powered offenses in the country, averaging nearly 40 points per game.

Prior to Tarleton State, Miller served as the head coach at McMurry for the 2013 season. While leading the War Hawks, the offense set school records in multiple categories including total yards (5,775), yards per game (523.1) and most points scored (424). Before his promotion to head coach, Miller was an assistant coach for the War Hawks for four seasons (2009-12). He had been an integral part of three consecutive winning seasons at McMurry, something that had happened just six other times in the university’s 87-year football history. In Miller’s four seasons as an assistant coach the War Hawks averaged 416 yards per game of total offense with better than 346 yards per game coming through the air. Miller began as the War Hawks’ assistant head coach and offensive line coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator after the departure of Matt Mumme following the 2010 season. Miller also served as McMurry’s recruiting coordinator.

The 2012 campaign, which was McMurry’s first as an NCAA Division II competitor, saw the War Hawk offense average more than 433 yards per game in total offense, 367 yards per game via the passing game. Then-quarterback Jake Mullin became just the 59th player in NCAA history - at any level - to pass for both 10,000 yards and 100 touchdowns in a career, leading the team to its first bowl appearance, and win, in 63 years.

In 2011, Miller’s first as offensive coordinator, he oversaw an offense that ranked 18th in the nation, and second in the American Southwest Conference, in scoring offense at 37.7 points per game. Eight of his 2011 players were named to the All-ASC team on offense. Additionally, McMurry broke the NCAA Division III single game total offense record with 863 yards versus Texas Lutheran. In 2010 Miller guided the offensive line, which paved the way for the No. 2 ranked passing offense in both the ASC and NCAA Division III.

Miller played running back at Valdosta State under offensvie coordinator Mike Leach for two seasons (1994-95) and was a member of the NCAA Division II team that made the national playoffs for the first time in school history. Miller stayed on at Valdosta State as a student assistant after suffering a career-ending knee injury. He was a part of the staff that led VSU to a 1996 Gulf South Conference Championship.

Following a two-year stint coaching Valwood High School in Valdosta, Ga., he returned to the collegiate ranks at Washington and Lee University, serving as the wide receivers coach. Miller then reunited with his old college football coach and helped Hal Mumme start the Southeastern Louisiana University football program from scratch. Miller coached the running backs in 2003 and moved to coach the offensive line in 2004 and helped SE Louisiana rank No. 1 in the nation in total offense.

Hal Mumme took Miller with him to New Mexico State in Las Cruces, N.M. from 2005-08 and worked with the Aggies’ offensive line all four years and an offense that ranked third in the nation in total offense. He coached four all-conference linemen at NMSU including Nick Cole, who played in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles. Miller was promoted to assistant head coach prior to the 2008 season with the Aggies.


He's been a HC and OC already (albeit at D-2/D-3). Coached some good OL as well.

Keep hearing stuff around here like "83-03 was a good run for such a such a small program" and beta whining about the changing landscape of college football. One thing we did right in our run was pick the right guys.

It's 2018 and we still see what kind of defense we can have here just running an aggressive 4-3. You want an offense? It's not that hard:

So to round it up:

Both Briles
Lincoln Riley
Dino Babers
Josh Heupal
Kliff Kinsbury
Dana Holgorson

Gary Patterson is starting to surround himself with Leach disciples as well.

Incase you don't feel like digesting those stats... Three of the top five offenses in the nation are out of the Leach Tree. 6 of the top 16 are either Leach himself or from the tree. You know what these offenses don't have, too? Florida speed.

This isn't that ******* hard. Run an aggressive 4-3 defense. Have someone who cut their teeth under Leach coordinate the offensive.

The Rock would be overflowing with popcorn watching an aggressive d and Leach rooted offense, and recruiting would be easy. There's plenty of coaches out there that have taken on his concepts at this point as the tree continued to grow. Just get one.

I'm on board. Great post, kudos for being able to see straight the morning after

The trick was posting the morning of.

We need to already be reaching out to Yost.

He's not a direct Leach guy but did work with him for 3 seasons.

As a QB coach he knows that system as good as anyone. I’m on board.

But

Our admin probably has Les Miles on the top of their list

Money Post. I watched the WSU game after ours...I was in tears thinking how well we would be playing that kind of offense with our athletes.

Who the **** wouldn’t want Leach here?? The man would kill it here.

Who the **** wouldn’t want Leach here?? The man would kill it here.

An army of CIS posters detest the man. Years ago no one wanted the spread around here because they thought prostyle was the way at Miami. Wonder if that’s changed now

 

[Golsen82]

S

Who the **** wouldn’t want Leach here?? The man would kill it here.

Sad to that the man would come here in a heartbeat, but UM would prob never hire him. Give me leach as HC, Yost as OC and Diaz keep his 4-3, fire brown and searles. Keep Dugans. Hire legit ST coach and put hartley strictly to TEs and recruiting

 

[pyhooya]

Who the **** wouldn’t want Leach here?? The man would kill it here.

19 points scored? Thats what you want.....you could get a junior coach to score that much. And dont give me that with our athlete ****.....The WRs he has are just as good as ours. Ours cant get separation. Yes our system and QB and OL sucks but pay attention. Its not like our 3/4* WRs are getting away from the DBs
