Team DNA

[Coach Macho]

In today's college football you gotta be able to score points. Nobody plays great defense week in and week out anymore, it's **** near impossible. This isn't 1998 where everybody runs the I-formation. OC's these days are innovative and crafty...and offenses are calling plays after they see the defense line up. You're not guaranteed to stop every offense you face. Even some of the best defensive teams in college get their asses handed to them a couple times during the season. During those type of games your *** better be able to score some points or you're gonna get blown out.

An innovative spread gives Miami the best chance to do this. The WR position is where we have a distinct advantage over everybody in the country. Not RB, not OL, not QB. Miami lined up in the Pro-Style with the plethora of WR's they have at their disposal is like Wisconsin lining up in the spread. It's not our DNA.

 

[Coach Macho]

You can run anything with PS talent, can't say the same for that soft,finesse, spread crap.
Look at UF when Meyer left, Chris Rainey was gettin' hurt **** near every week in Muschamp's PSO. Why?...because He didn't have the benefits of all the mis-direction in the Meyer offense...when He played in a traditional offense where the other team knew He was gettin' the ball, He was TOAST!!!

So in other words Meyer's offense helped an inferior Chris Rainey succeed?

Yeah.

Bye.

I ask these questions every time this conversation is brought up and they never get answered...

Why is the Pro-Style better for Miami SCHEMATICALLY?
What makes it better than the spread?
Why do you prefer it? (other than the fact that it worked before when we were loaded with NFL guys)

All these cats want the Pro-Style but can't give me one legit reason as to WHY it's a better offense. They'll just spit some vague, generally *** answer like "it wins championships bro!"

The answer is simply because pro-style is more macho than pussified spread offenses, and these cats are all about machismo. In addition to that, they think that a pro-style will put more players into the NFL.

And that's exactly what it is.

Macho and prehistoric.

You do realize many of the top tier programs in College Football run a "Pro-Style" offense, right?

 

[UMFarArcher]

Fortunately, we're going with Pro-style since we'll have talented athletes who will be well coached.

No reason to look like a Chinese fire drill every play.

On both sides of the ball.

 

[AutoCANE]

There's absolutely no reason why you can't run a hybrid and use concepts of both the spread and pro-style offenses.

In fact, that's basically what Chris Ault did when he developed his offense around the pistol formation. Now everybody uses that formation - but Ault formulated an entire attack around it. The basic principle is to be able to spread the field and at the same time be able to utilize the power run game. On top of it he installed a read-option game that made it that much more potent.

That is innovative...and would fit Miami perfectly.

The whole "spread versus pro-style" debate often reminds me of old Miller Lite commercials. "TASTES GREAT!! - LESS FILLING!!"

The one thing I continue to preach in this regard is the importance of a strong running game. Rarely do you see teams win national titles without a strong running game. That can come from a spread offense, like Spurrier's 1996 title at uf where they ran the "fun N gun" that the OP noted but had 1500 yards of rushing that year by Fred Taylor and Elijah Williams. As well, it can come from pro-styled offenses where the examples are many.

In today's spread offenses we are seeing the advent of large QB's who are power rushers as well as passers. In decades past teams that failed with this concept tended to use QB's who were smaller and faster rushers. The rules changes have helped in this regard.

 

[The Svengali]

Aren't Alabama, Michigan State, and Iowa Pro-Style Teams (that's 3 of the current top 4)?

Pro-style offenses will NEVER be out of vogue, and many teams will still be using that system 30 years from now. It is time and tested system that produces winners, just like having a great defense, great O-line and a sound running game produce winning results.

You do realize that those programs have a completely different recruiting ground than Miami does, right?

Annnnnnnd none of those teams get the same athletes we do.

 

[Coach Macho]

Some of yall not getting it. Yall keep citing teams that are ranked high and run the Pro-Style. You can do the same for the spread. What yall seem to forget is that EACH TEAM'S RECRUITING GROUND IS DIFFERENT!

It's not a matter of one scheme being better than the other, it's a matter of running what's prominent in your backyard. Running a scheme that will allow you to reload year after year. A scheme with concepts that your players are familiar with.

Right, because we have "never" seen the spread in Miami.... how'd that work for us?

When have we ever had a legit spread offense at Miami?

 

[Coach Macho]

How has the Pro-Style worked for us in the past 10+ years?

 

[Ibis Wingz]

How has the Pro-Style worked for us in the past 10+ years?

We've had a cavalcade of ****** coordinators/play callers and/or ****** QBs trying to execute it. I wouldn't write off a pro-style offense if we have a competent QB and competent coordinator/play caller.

Do you understand that QB's can look better or worse depending on what offense they play in?

Brock Berlin looked good during his limited time in the spread.
Jacory Harris looked better every time Miami went down by a couple scores and we had to line-up in the shotgun and throw the ball.

The minute we asked one of these QB's to take snaps from center and drop back while making reads, they struggled.

Of course I understand that. That was the point of my post. We've had mismatched players to schemes for a while.
