He’s a disciple of a tried & true offensive system that has worked all over CFB. The variation he is running is the best version of air raid that I’ve seen. The defense has no clue where the ball is going.

I like him but I agree with that you said in an earlier post, he's never the type we pursue. Maybe Kelly should serve as an example as to why we should break from that criterion...but I digress

why not a coordinator at a P4 school?
Completely agree. I think the quality of program they come from and all of the expectations that come with it really is a big factor in determining whether a coach will have success or not.
I believe coaches who have had success as a HC at a G5 program, recruiting that level of player, hiring that level of staff, playing that level of competition, and dealing with that level of donors, administration, media scrutiny, etc are behind in relevant experience to coordinators who have been at P4 programs and coached under successful P4 coaches. I think the data proves this with the most successful P4 coaches right now all having made the direct jump at their schools from a coordinator position. There are outliers in each line of thought, but I think the safer play is definitely the coordinator route if a successful P4 HC is not an option.

Yeah they won’t touch him J. I don’t trust any of the decision makers so it will be interesting if they strike out on Kiffin

they'll go safe for Drink I have no doubt

Has it? Who is the most successful air raid HC and what has he won?
I don't disagree that it racks up yards and points but the Air Raid has been around for a long time with a lot of branches on that coaching tree and I don't believe there are any rings to go with it. Or any major conference championships.

I'm in a research field and it was always taught to us that you look at 3 years worth of data before making an assumption.... Don't judge anything, anything, off of 1 year of data.

He’s making the CFP.
He’ll be our top 3 option if Kiffin declines

According to the data, he is a much better offensive coach than Lane is

I wouldn't be mad. Unfortunately, I dont have the power to hire or fire coaches. I am just a message board poster.

I wonder if Morris's next move is to become OC at a P4 school for a defensive minded head coach...

I don’t know if this is a rhetorical question or not. But There is plenty of literature on it. The Athletic did a great piece on it a few years ago. The impact the offense has had on CFB is undeniable. A lot of the times there were no resources available to have a matching, supportive defense.

Or to another 'Green' school that could double his salary and give him more resources..........

The Air Raid has had major success as far back as the Oklahoma teams in the early 00s. Their title in 2000 was a year after Leach left for Texas Tech and Mark Mangino was their OC.

Not just CFB. Mike Leach is the most important offensive football coach since Bill Walsh. He's in the pantheon of offensive impact coaches.

It wasn't. It was an honest question. I cannot name you the most successful coach from that Mumme/Leach tree. Leach? Dykes made the CFP Final and suffered the biggest loss on that stage - but he still made it there.
My point is that it's a great offense but the coaches who have been given opportunities at P4 schools haven't panned out. You say there hasn't been resources for a comparable defense but that is to say schools like A&M, Miss St, WVU, UK, and Tenn don't have resources to field a competitive team on both sides of the ball. Or that NFL teams who have hired Kingsbury don't have the resources to field a defense.
Let the air raid gurus run the offenses. Let someone else be the HC. That's all I'm saying. I have no problem with Morris being our OC.

Then maybe we need to stop thinking we have to hire a proven name and “whale” bc ultimately taking a chance on a young guy that’s not proven so to speak could turn out great.

Because he’s had like 3 winning seasons in 7 years of head coaching
IW had never made the playoffs before him. He brought them there twice and got them their first playoff win
North Texas has never had a double digit win season in their entire history, he's about to give them that.
There are things to give pause about such as defense, and the pressure of all that comes with a big time job and the politics involved that he has no experience dealing with. I'm not saying he should be the top candidate. But there's room for nuance regarding his coaching record, he's elevated both places he's coached at to heights they've never been before and has an impressive history of QBs he's found and coached. Sorry it took some time to build up the garbage programs he was at?
