I am not sure how I feel about that, is Coach O doing it simply to be different from Ex-Coach Les Miles or he want to run that kind of a gimmicky offense that really didn't work that well under Gary Crowton.

No no, what he said was "get ready to bend over and spread em when you pay money to see this offense"

This clearly isn't what he wants to do since he's said repeatedly he wants be a West Coast/Pro Style team. Y'all may laugh but I think Ponamsky is forcing him to change his philosophy

I like it better than his only pro style qb stance

We need to evolve

You can still scheme the run. They were top 5 rushing last season yet everyone thinks of their passing

Baylor does it

Which is why I want either Briles for OC

Les Miles pulled the reins way back on that.

Coach O has jedi mind tricked the fools around here from his very first press conference. His radio guy Ponamsky told him everything that people hated about Les so Orgeron said he would do eveything opposite on those issues.

Orgeron also said when he took the job that he liked a pro style offense with a pocket passer. After we lost to Bama and the fans started mumbling that we need a spread offense to beat Bama, Coach O changed his tune to look like Tom Herman.

Power spread like urban runs would do well here.
I like what we did with Flynn, Hester and that crew.

He said he will use the spread he didn't say thats all they would run. They ran some spread this year and last too.

They will tailor the offense around whatever the QB is able to do consistently well.

The running game willl always be there, just that much better with better QB play utilizing the whole field

Spread could mean anything. Bama is spreading it out and still runs the best power offense in the country.

It is a 180 from what he said a month ago. He says what fans, administrators, and media want to hear at whatever time he speaks and they lap it up.

He's bringing the USC blueprint from when Carrol was there. They ran a spread-type offense.

The guy is full of shite. First he says he likes pro style qbs to run his offense. Now he says he wants duel threat in the spread.

with Myles Brennan coming in, the spread seems like an obvious offense since that is all he has ever played.

I honestly think Coach O does not really know what to do with the offense. He's in way over his head and is trying to say the right thing. He's obviously being coached by Derek P on what to say and how to act in front of the media.

Just my thoughts combined with some wishful thinking.

First off, crowton's offense was good until he had to develop a QB. Maybe miles hindered him on that, maybe not but it worked really well with a QB that was already developed.

Maybe O is assessing what works vs bama. Or what has worked against saban's defenses.

If that's the case that's a positive in itself because Miles wanted to make his way of smash mouth football work. I'm cautiously optimistic that O will be more successful than miles. But I do believe he will try to make the appropriate changes to make us competitors again.
