re: Shame on me for buying the Canada hype

Canada isn't running anything he ran at Pitt. It doesn't look remotely the same. At NC state they ran a spread offense. Idk what he's trying to do but it isn't working.

Personally I think this is an indictment of just how horrible LSU's offensive scheme was pre-Canada. As one of Canada's biggest proponents on this site, I refuse to believe that the dude just forgot how to scheme an offense. He's still one of the best OC's in the nation IMO.

The issue here is he doesn't have anything close to the base he's used to building from. Think about it like school, this dude is used to teaching Calculus. He is used to taking over kids who understand the fundamentals of math and building off of these. In this instance, though, he's taking kids who have maybe mastered long division and have no concept for advanced schemes.

The dude is basically having to reteach them basic offensive fundamentals, and it's significantly limiting his ability to construct anything worthwhile.

That's my opinion atleast.
