I've wondered something - I've always thought that the 1ST SEC team to bring in a Pac-10
offensive coordinator into "Dixie" would really benefit. Look at Bama this year. I'm not really sure what type of scheme they are running, but it's being coordinated by a former Pac-10 offensive guy. The way I see it is this - If you are running an offense for a Pac-10 school, normally, you wouldn't keep a job if you didn't know how to move the football. Those teams for the most part for so many years rack up huge yards and score a ton of points.
I still think the first Mississippi school to run some type of the spread offense - see this link for the different versions, which by the way are always being modified (hell, last week at GT, they threw for over 250 yards - mixing in some ideas and plays that Johnson used to call when he was at Hawaii -<span style="font-style: italic;">said in an interview this week here in ATL</span>- and it's so easy with this offense, b/c with just moving a player in motion, you can go from one spread formation to another) --- but, the first team that runs a primarily running based spread offense, will dominate in this state. Just think about it --- there are so many "raw" wr types - basketball players that would love to bring their skills at the WR position - with the right coach it would work and it would turn a lot of heads. I can dream i guess - but i would love nothing better than for some young head coach winning game after game here at MSU ---- and telling fans from all ages, that you can win here and it doesn't have be with power I formation football.
Before anyone disagrees, just watch Peterson at Boise State this year --- it's not a Leach throw happy offense...
