If you're gonna run a pro style, it might be a good idea to have coaches from the pro's.

Miami is stupid. They run a pro style with college coaches. Coley, Golden...no pro experience and they want to run pro style.

If you're gonna be cheap and hire Mac coaches, then you at least have to run a simple college system like spread

We are not ProStyle. We just run a poor Spread.
 
Can someone please define "pro style" for me?

When I think pro style, I think two backs, tight formations, and predominantly under center.

Almost nobody runs a pure pro-style offense anymore.
 
These coaches have no clue what to run. We stay in shotgun mostly all game and every run is predictable
 
We have a QB that would kill it in a pro style yet we go shotgun 4-5 wide and have him ride the RB as if he is really going to pull it and run. Watching this staff is just so sad.
 
We run a spread offense at a slow pace that is non-productive on the money downs and in the red zone. There is nothing Pro about this offense coached by Folden and his straff!

Pro style is several different formations, not always having an I formation and a TE in the game. A QB in a pro style makes reads and has progressions vs a spread where it is timing based or based off the pre snap look you know where the ball is going. We are running a spread version of a pro style which is ridiculous.

The point of having a pro style offense is it is unpredictable, a spread has tendencies. They are complete opposites and we are combining the negatives of each. Such as from a pro style we are slow paced, complex if QB and receivers aren't on the same page, bad OL, we don't take advantage of using our TE as extra blockers, etc.

The ideal situation would be using a true pro style offense and including some things such as no huddle, up tempo, timing, pre snap decisions from a spread. (This is what has made Peyton Manning so successful later in his career)
 
I wish we only ran a pro style. We're not going to out spread the big 12. Let's just own the pro set, and develop nfl kids.
 
How about fugg NFL and win college games.. People get soo caught up in NFL stuff while we suck..
 
The problem with our offense is really simple, we do not have an identity because our OC does not have his own system. To be a competent offensive team the OC must have a system that he know's by memory and can implement and adjust based on talent level. Coley has been piecing together different plays and concepts from different systems that he does not understand, hence the term they keep using multiple. Now we are attempting to run a variation of the 1 back and pistol which he Cleary has no idea what he's doing
