What kind of Offense did we run under Richt?

The 4 main schools of spread offense

What are the most common philosophical approaches to running the spread offense in college football today?

Here’s a good primer on spread offenses. Maybe someone can forward this to Enos as well.

Unless it’s missing an “Enos spread” offense that we’re not aware of, which incorporates slow developing routes, having the QB sit in the pocket for 7 seconds at a time and never be a threat to run, plenty of routes right into the middle of the defense, never taking a deep shot, and dipping your play sheet into a bucket of water before each game.

The good pro-style spread teams are concept based, like the Air Raid, and try to do a few things really well. The bad ones try to mix in spread formations and concepts with pro-style language and approaches, call themselves "multiple," and are inefficient at most everything.

Ummmm......

We don't run a Spread Offense, having Spread concepts is not running a Spread offense, it's having a few throw away plays based in certain situations.

The. Offense. We. Run. Doesn't. Work. For. Us... There's a colossal sized Moutain Hill of evidence to support that claim. We need to change the Offense, anyone arguing that we shouldn't is flat out retarded.

The Offense we ran under Richt was a Pro Style RPO base, it only worked at its best in the 2nd half of the 2016 season, everything else after that was pedestrian with it culminating into a total disaster for the 2018 season.

Enox's offense is even worse, it's NOT a Spread, we have some Pistol formations & RPO concepts, but we're not a Spread offense. Anyone with eyes & a half functioning brain can show you how much different our offense looks vs teams like Memphis, UCF, SMU, OK St etc..

This has been discussed ad nauseam, I've written full fledged threads on it, several other posters have, **** even Roman did a month or so ago. There's nothing to debate or discuss on the topic, the proof is on the field in the games, our offense is GARBAGE, the solution to the problem isn't to continue to do the exact same thing. We don't have the personnel to run this style offense, we're not Wisconsin or Iowa or some other B1G team that Enox wants us to be.

The reason why people want us to switch to a Spread is because we have(had) a speed advantage that we were underutilizing & going with a quick tempo Spread offense would decrease our deficiencies in the blocking game & force Defense to defend the entire field while using our weapons to keep Defenses off balance, it's called playing to your strengths. What we do is play to our weaknesses & run plays that highlight our inability to run & pass effectively, we literally neutralize our ability.

Idk what else needs to be said on the topic, there's a clear & concise difference between the top 25 Offenses & ours, and NO it's not talent, there are teams that have nowhere as much talent as we do but have significantly better offensive productivity, that's because they don't shoot themselves in the foot by trying to play a style that doesn't fit their personnel.

There's a consistent pattern amongst the most productive offenses in college football, regardless of conference or Blue chip ratio & NONE of them play like we do... Maybe we should stop trying to be the last of the Mohicans & get with the ****** program & leave this old *** trash offense in the past where it belongs.

I am not saying we run a full spread now under Enos (Never said we run a spread under Enos), but I am saying we ran a full RPO Pro Spread under Richt. Richt's offense is very similar to what Alabama and Clemson is running but for some reason everyone will call what they run a Spread but not what Richt was running. In Roman's thread he called these teams spread thats true but Richt's offense at its core was as well. It's cherry picking to call Richt's offense just Pro but yet the others who are having success with the same type of offense a spread.

I agree we need a new OC and Enos ain't it (I guess I just think he not it for a different reason and its not exclusive to scheme). I want a different offense as well, but I am not gonna act like just getting any spread offense is the answer. They come in all shape and sizes with different people orchestrating them which is the most important thing. I prefer the name of said new OC vs just giving me Spread we had that before. lol

Bottom line Richt ran a RPO spread offense and it didn't produce like we wanted; no if ands or buts about it. No scheme is fail proof.

But hey like you said lets call it Pro Style Bro
