Does it trouble you that Miles does not see a need to change scheme?

I don't think he looks at opponent's strengths and lesser strengths. "We do what we do and we gonna do it to you too", is his mentality.

Yes, it should trouble every fan.

the philosophy of running the ball is great but the schematic approach of relegating themselves to the i-form vs eleventy billion man boxes needs a tweak

He doesn't need to change a scheme. That's a terrible idea and one a young or hotseat coach would do.

He just needs to call a few different plays to help his scheme succeed against bama. It's that simple.

What I understand with what Miles said is that he doesn't mind losing 5 out of loses to Alabama as long as he thinks HIS scheme works 3 out of the 5 loses. I have a want to want what he is smoking.

what worries me is that while we are blessed to win plenty of games, we don't lose enough to have a major change in offensive philosophy

So your saying we basically win too much to change schemes so you wished we lost more. Brilliant. Thread of the year.

We don't need to make a huge change to our offensive scheme. We're a power running team with a vertical passing attack. And looking at our personnel, I get why that's what we wanna do on offense. We're built for that. QB with a big arm that throws a great ball. Very good OL with a beast RB. And Dural is a speedster that can take the top off the D and Dupre is a tall, long player that can go up over defenders to make plays.

There are very few teams in the country that can stop what we want to do on offense. Almost every team in the country has to stack the box just to attempt to slow down LF, and typically are unsuccessful at that. And that also opens up the vertical passing attack.

However, when you playing against a team that has the personnel, depth, and coaching to successfully stop that(and not just stop but completely shut down), you gotta switch it up a bit and you gotta have that in the playbook already. When you can't stop the other teams pass rush, bring the WRs in tight and start attacking the middle of the field with short, quick passes. That allows the QB to get the ball out quickly and throw high % passes. Get a few first downs, sustain some drives, allow our D to rest, etc. And that will get the other teams D in their heels and could open up some running lanes.

A major change isn't needed. A few simple tweaks could make a huge difference.

It troubles me that fans think they more than coaches.

Yes it does-and as someone who is young and now able to buy season tickets for the first time in my life- I won't. I'm not putting in the time to travel and put up money on a product that's stale. We're stale...beat the teams like auburn and Florida when they aren't elite, beat the non-conf games, but we'll lose a couple because we're one dimensional. So now you have a new generation coming through that isn't going to go through that much effort under a coach that is too stubborn to change.

It works 80% of the time!!!1 his record!!1
