Offense is terrible all over the country…..

[OG Goat Holder]

….portal and NIL finally took its toll.

Even more of a reason for us to pick a niche offense and develop lesser players for it. Let the big schools overpay for the big croots that don’t deliver.

Congrats on your dumb take. Pat yourself on the back like you always do

In this situation he can be right and keep his douche title. Transfer anytime anywhere has 17'd with cohesion and efficiency.

Partly agree. Big schools definitely overpay high rated players that don't necessarily deliver as they should. As far as the niche offense, I would be ok with it as long as we could generate consistently 6-9 wins per year and occasionally might pick up a 10 win season and likely playoff spot. Leach was sort of starting to do this for us. Just an unlucky break to lose him like we did. I felt we were his last stop (about a 10-12 year stint) before he headed to Buffetville snorkeling for pirate junk. There aren't many Emory Bellards coming up through the triple option ranks either. Could possibly lure a service academy coach who knows the option real well with a decent passing feature built in. Navy was starting to do that rather effectively....can't remember their coach's name. I do remember Memphis preparing all out for their triple option and they ended up getting torched by the Midshipmen's passing attack. Who would've thunk?

We shall see tonight. UNC will have, pretty much, a totally new defense. Can Bill and Steve coach that up?

TCU returns a QB that has passed for 3,900 yards to their high octane offense.

I'm betting TCU covers easy.

We’ll see. Belichek is 73 years old, hasn’t had a good season since 2019 & has never coached college football. This has all the signs of being a disaster.

Offensive line play is bad everywhere. It is a depth and developmental position, and no one sticks around to provide depth and get developed.

Hopefully, rev share will make things a little better. If we can sign a HS offensive lineman that turns out to be good, we need to spend rev share money to keep him. Jimothy Lewis might be one of those guys.

UNC's QB is from Madison's James Clemens High School, or so I've heard.

Defense is always this time of year.

Don’t necessarily have to have a triple option. But some type of pass attack that is simple…..Mullen’s offense was this way, as was the air raid. It was repetition, and both worked.

Dual threat QB always helps, but also depends on the degree of passer you need vs what talent is available.

This this this.

You can’t just throw these linemen together and it works at least at first.

The Portal is a crap game. Sometimes you spend too much money for a flop and other times you get a really good bargain but, in that case, he is going back into the portal. You will not know what you have until they take the field. Change of subject, I do think LSU is for real.

He's not wrong. If you're undersized, out manned, out gunned, or any of the other 500 descriptions of being overwhelmed by your competition... You better figure out how to gain an advantage. And that is never going to be by doing things the same way your competition does...

This is why people break out guerilla tactics in combat, jiu jitsu in a fist fight, moneyball in MLB, or whips and nipple clamps in the bedroom... To gain the upper hand when you are overmatched. I don't really think it's an argument that can even be had when it comes to Mississippi football. If everyone else is going to zig we have to zag. We need to be an outlier.

The argument is not whether Goat is right. It's whether Lebby is going to do stuff different enough and can run his program well enough to win. I think so much of college football has gone to a spread/hurry up offense these days that it's actually the norm, much like moneyball, analytics, and guys hitting .217 with 24 HR, 130BB & 197 K in MLB is the norm. Jake Mangum is the outlier.

What style of offense (and defense to some extent) is right, no idea. But it's not the one similar to everyone else's.
