UM’s offense has entered the 21st century

I’m extremely excited about this, but I’ll caution us all (including myself): give our players time. Results will come, I believe it, but you can’t master this stuff overnight.

Agreed. On the other hand, UFlop installed a new offense last year & now are obviously more familiar with running it.

Honestly, the gators D is strong on the edges. Up the middle markedly less so.

Rich would have just shrugged and still avoided the middle. I expect enos actually tailors his game plan to exploiting that weakness. Huge difference.

Mallory/Brevin will eat this weekend

Uhm, did you miss the part where the other team knew the plays?

Did you miss the part where other teams said the same things about our early 2000 teams, but the difference between those teams and these newbies was execution and knowing how to impose their will on other teams. How much motioning did andre johnson, winslow and shockey do! You think irvin cared about motioning, **** naw, guys lined up knowing they were going to dominate the man in front of them. If you doing all this motioning, in theory you trying to find a mismatch when in principle real UM football, everybody on the team felt they were a mismatch for whoever was guarding them. When im seeing jt4 saying he looking forward to going up again c.j. henderson, that means he's looking for the man that they say is suppose to be able to match him, so he/jt4 can prove to cj henderson he is NO MATCH, that's HURRICANE football, that's what most of the dominant UM teams did in the past. We started getting real soft on offense when we started doing all this motioning and flexing out under the erickson years, itch davis brought the Power back to the offense, like it should be!

We motioned quite a bit under Coker the OC and the HC. We didn't motion much when Irvin w as around, but who was? The times have changed and offenses need to be more than what Richt was running.

Why would he be embarrassed, he's won national titles with that offense he ran, had 2 heisman trophy qb's at Fsu and almost had another at UGA in matthew stafford. The article clearly stated that coach richt simplifying the offense was because he knew the players werent ready to run something more complex. Especially at the qb position, and o-line. Seems like most of the players talking were True freshman last year, so their words dont hold much weight when it came to the overall operation of the offense. Im glad the players are excited but even coach enos would tell you, his resume as an oc doesnt come nowhere close to what coach richt has accomplished as an oc or headcoach.

But he's in the right place now, a furthermore, coach enos respects the talent that coach richt brought in. People have amnesia, coach richt was only here for 3 years but accomplished a whole lot in a short time and was just getting this programs talent level back up, corey gaynor redshirting last was an example of coach richt getting this teams talent an maturity levels correct. The young crybabies from last year, most of them didnt even know their plays.

Yes, but this program has trained us into being the most elite fanbase at detecting coRches and coRching staphs in the nation. Years of training have sculpted our coRch sensors to be so sensitive that we can detect a coRch just by one drop of its blood in an olympic size swimming pool.

There has been no such coRch alarms going off within the fan base for this coaching staff -- which speaks very highly of them. And if it ends up that Enos is a coRch, I fear for the future because that means the coRches are evolving into something much more sophisticated than we could have ever imagined. All hope would be lost.

I have no idea what Richt was thinking last year. He minimized the playbook so much that opponent knew what he was going to to. I mean, I understand adjusting your scheme to fit your players, he obviously didn't trust his quarterbacks (any of them). There comes a point where if you have to simplify the offense to low high school levels, that maybe you're not doing enough to prepare your players. These same kids are grasping Enos' scheme even though it's admittedly more of a challenge but anything more than 4 verts was too tough for them last season? I just don't get it man. You hear about things like the QBs not knowing who was going to start until right before the game or N'Kosi being un-suspended out of thin air for the bowl game and you have to question how much effort Richt was putting in, especially towards the second half of the season. That's not just bad scheme or bad execution, it's lazy coaching.

It's sad because last year if we have any average offense just league average we could have went undefeated in the regular season.

We didnt even have an average o-line, qb or receiver play, to young and crybabies. Just go back to what braxton berrios said about who the starters would be, to many people try to blame coach richt and overlook the clues the graduated ones kept telling yall!

To a degree I agree with u last years group lacked a true leader which in part is richts fault for lack of putting out 1 guy and going with him. The part I have a problem with is for some reason richts offense became alot weaker last year than the year we played Notre dame. Will malory even said that the other teams last year would know what plays they were gonna run before the play was snapped. That is not the players fault.

Do you need to be that tricky when you are coaching the greatest college football team of all time? That team ran everything with the same personnel which is a rarity today.

What games were you watching man, lol, if we did go in motion every now and than it was roscoe parrish, but nothing out the ordinary. People keep talking about the times have changed, lol, last year, no matter who the coach was, the offense with that many injuries and young personnel mixed in with crybabies who didnt even know those plays wasnt going nowhere!

He was the oc when they beat V-tech for the title, and several of his qb's did work while at UGA, i would never say he was the best oc but you could win with that offense! It takes a lil time to build it up, so this year had he stayed, we would've started seeing better signs, but traditionally his offenses gave always been predicated on big plays and not always the most efficient down for down offense. One things for certain, coach richt was gone always go at a defense no matter who it was. People running round acting like scorned women so they cant see what coach richt was building and built up in just 3yrs. Think about how the potential offense could've really looked this year(would've been going into year 4 of the richt era)from just a skill position standpoint possibly:

Ahmon on one side, jt4 on the other, brevin jordan, mallory and irvin, deejay dallas, davis and lingard, with the real qb battle taking place this year between perry and jw15, as the gunslinger. The o-line players were getting better and more physically mature. But that's thearsenal that coach richt was about to have at his disposal on the front lines. It was about to get ugly, that Ahmon injury set alot of things back, the one thing coach richt knew how to do was find top notch receivers!

Just look at the personnel we lost on offense, the coaching job coach richt did with rosier was top notch the year you referring to, when rosier had Ahmon, herdon, berrios, mark walton and a young jt4 to rely on, with a better o-line in front of him as well, than look at the personnel coach richt got stuck with in year 3, at some point the penn disgrace moron regime's non roster management was going to manifest it self.

But that's UM football, when we started getting cute we started getting real soft on offense, with the exclamation point ending up looking like this:

If he stayed his offense would have been a year more outdated than it already was. Another year falling behind other teams. And most of us would have been on suicide watch having to watch that offense

The year we went 10-3 ahmmon missed majority of the games Walton played in 4 so the narrative doesn't work. And on top of that if u do lose elite players such as berrios and Herndon as a head coach and oc you are supposed to scheme guys open that's what a good coach does. Diaz every year lost great starters and his defense got better every year. He lost corn elder,rayshawn jenkins, Jamal carter year 1. Then loses Chad Thomas, trent Harris, Kendrick norton, rj McIntosh. But some how his defense got better every year
