When OP started w “I know none of ya’ll remember him” that was all I needed to know that this chit was bogus af. Blood is barely google certified so apparently google don’t remember this ninja either but we’re supposed to hire him?! Lol, GTFOH.
 
Didn't our 'Canes in 1991, took that Run and Shoot offense and shove it up Klinglers ***?

Oh yea, we did.

I know none of ya'll even remember him, or the eye-popping, mythical, record-breaking numbers that his offenses put up, but he was basically Mike Leach BEFORE Mike Leach. Guy is an offensive mastermind and has accomplished a **** of a lot more than either Larry Fedora or Major Applewhite. Here is an SI cover story that Curry Kirkpatrick recently did on him:

https://www.si.com/vault/1991/08/26...-his-wild-offense-with-the-wide-open-throttle

"It is the numbers—especially the outrageously lopsided scores that his offense has engendered—that have bathed Jenkins in so much scalding acid with opposing coaches and Defensive coordinators...and he couldn't care less. His offenses have put up scores like 60-0, 82-28, 66-15, 69-0, 65-7, 66-10 and 64-0 have become commonplace in the Houston record book since 1987, when Jenkins became the offensive coordinator under coach Jack Pardee. That year, Jenkins introduced his personal version of the run-and-shoot to the Cougars."

"Jenkins does not claim to have invented the offense, by the way, only to have expanded it. The Cougars' run-and-shoot is vastly different from Mouse Davis's Silver Stretch, which was designed for the Detroit Lions of a few years ago, or from Jerry Glanville's Red Gun on the Atlanta Falcons or from Warren Moon's aerial festivities on behalf of the Houston Oilers. The offense is not even the same as it was when Jenkins was the offensive coordinator and mastermind for the Jim Kelly-led Houston Gamblers of the USFL, a team that set 20 pro football yardage records in 1985.

"Everything's similar, but different," Jenkins says. "We're more advanced, more complex. Tinkering with this deal, messing with it in my head, the possibilities through the avenues in the air are so unlimited it's scary, Hoss. I want my teams to one day average 100 points a game..and I think we can get it done one day."

That article is from 1991.

Richt didn’t even go that far back for either of his 2 sets.
 
Miami Hurricanes-40
Houston Cougars-10

Not only did Miami kill the wishbone, they killed the run and shoot.

Ohhhh. You're bringing back memories for me. Those were my days on campus.

Forgot how good Horace Copeland was. His girl used to live down the hall from me in Eaton. That man was TALL.

Interesting stat in this video...from 89' up until our first punt in that game, UM had only allowed 72 punt return yards total...72 total punt return yards in 3 years...unreal.
 
Also hilarious that, at one point, Torretta was 11 of 22 for 263 yards and 3 TDs.
Not sure Perry had those stats in three games COMBINED.

I remember Rusty Medearis sacking David Klingler about 100 times when Jenkins brought that clown show to the Orange Bowl back in 1990.

I was there for that game. Miami basically destroyed the Houston program that game ... they rebuilt it, then D’onofrio destroyed it again
 
Houston's offense back then was actually impressive to watch and brought them a lot of success and attention for who they were. No, they had no chance against the Canes, but there was a huge talent disparity between Miami and Houston in those days. Jenkins was a great offensive mind, but apparently was one of those guys who didn't have what it took to be a head coach. Houston's best days were when he was OC and Pardee was head coach.
