The issue is not UK, the issue is Stoops.
Both of the OC's that have been there since Stoops got here averaged running something close to 85 offensive plays a game before they got here. With Stoops they averaged about 65 offensive plays for UK per game. A huge difference. Why? Are we saying that both of these guys spent a coaching lifetime and got to Lexington and changed ABSOLUTELY everything they had done over years of coaching?
No they changed because Stoops made them change. Stoops needs to get out of the OC business because he is clueless about SEC offenses or at least how to design a system that is part good fundamental football and part smoke and mirrors. A great example of Stoops not having an open mind was the trick play Vandy ran agaisnt him. He didn't think to defend it because on the other side of the ball he wouldn't have run it himself.
My suggestion. Go find all the money UK can offer and hire a genius OC. And then Stoops gets the hell out of the way. Lincoln Riley still is a head scratcher as to what happened there. I watched OU a few times and we would have not run 1/2 the plays Riley and brother ran out there.
