It's Time for Miami to Join the 21st Century

What do you mean spread? Read option? That's a terrible idea now that we have an actual passer. Agree offenses should use tempo, but think more Payton manning than Oregon.

What really matters is competent coaches who can recognize what defenses are doing and exploit it.

I mean a spread, passing attack that also goes hurry up. I want athletes on the field, in space, with as many opportunities to make plays as possible.

Baylor runs a hurry up, spread offense with a passing QB in Bryce Petty. A spread offense doesn't have to be a read option like Oregon.

A&M this year with Hill or Allen wasn't a spread option, but it was a wide open offense.

Your talk offenses derived from the air raid. I'm in agreement. I'd pull one of the TCU co-OCs.

Miami ranked 120th in the nation this year in plays per game at 66.

Compare that to teams in the top 25 that had around 78 plays per game.

That's an extra 12 opportunities to get the ball into playmakers hands like Coley, Dorsett, Waters and Duke that we didn't have.

We ran slow on purpose. One reason is a rookie QB. The cynic in me thinks it was to hide the terrible defense.
 
Give me a spread offense with a good run game, DO NOT abandon the run. And an attacking 4-3 style defense and I'm happy.


I like the pro-style but I can only imagine what we could do with a spread going out 4-5 wide way more often.
 
The spread-to-run variants are really effective, but the NFL has too much money tied up in QBs to have them running into LBs a lot. In college, where you know you're getting a new QB every four years anyway, the long-term pounding isn't as much of an issue.

But you don't have to spread to run. Certainly, the Air Raid variants out there have been racking up their share of yards over the past decade or so.

And really, not that many pro teams even run the 'pro set' as their primary personnel grouping any more. Apparently, the most common configuration these days is more akin to Erickson's one-back sets, with three WRs, a TE, and a RB, operating out of a shotgun.

It's not like the i-formation power running game and the pro passing concepts working with it won't work at all anymore. USC and Stanford certainly have success with them. But I don't think it's smart to get hung up on the idea that "we're a pro-style offense" any more. Philadelphia was #5 in total offense this season, with Mark Freaking Sanchez at QB. I don't think it's a gimmick.
 
To me, the patriots in the league embody great offensive play. They run a lot of the same concepts out of softens personnel groupings and really exploit matchups and coverages. Also they evolve to the personal on the roster.

Chip kelly also runs a sound system in philly now and has done extremely well without franchise talent at QB.

Mike Leach would've come here for pennies. I don't care what his struggles are right now, what he'd have done with SFL skill position players would have been sick. I don't want to hear about how he knows nothing about D, because we haven't seen one of those in years anyway.

No thanks on an Air Raid guy like Leach, you still need to run the football

Teams like Oregon, Baylor, TCU run it a lot from the spread and do it effectively. That is the model to look at.
 
Bump.

Two spread offenses playing in the first national championship game.

You gotta be able to score a lot of points in order to win in today's game.

Ask LSU how their pro-style offense has treated them over the years.

Ask Nick Saban how he feels about defending spread offenses.
 
Yea i think coley is trying look at the quaterbacks we are trying to get. All dual threat he sees the future

Ask fsu how it's done for them. It's not what system u run, it's the players and having a guy that can motivate. And prepare his team.
 
Oh and lmao at running the spread with this board. Coley ran maybe 15 wr screens this year and the board melts down. With the spread get used to seeing 15 times a game.
