This is fascinating stuff.

Just throwing out some names; don't know if they belong.

Spurrier- his fun-n-gun was innovative. I think he changed the way SEC teams had to play.

Chip Kelly, Crowton, et al, seemed like there was tree out of all places NH.

My problem with giving Spurrier too much credit is that he didn't really invent anything. He just proved that "three things happen when you throw the football and two of them are bad" is total BS and that you can compete at the top level with a pedestrian QB that sometimes throws on first down. His actual offense at its core was from the 70s though. He definitely does deserve credit as a ~Chip Kelly esque figure who showed that this "gimmick" offense isn't actually a gimmick though.
