re: The question is, why did it take Brady to change the offense?

I believe you but it's dumbfounding to me that this is the case. This is your profession. This is what you do 24/7/365. You are supposed to know everything about it.

It’s all relative, though. Ed Orgeron has been coaching football for 35 years. He’s probably forgotten more about the game than 90% of fans will ever know. But he’s not seen as an X’s and O’s guy at the highest level. Why is that?

Thinking about it another way.. consider the financial industry. There are a lot of people out there who have invested successfully. There are a lot of financial advisors who do it for a living. But you wouldn’t expect anybody with a career in investing to be able to run a billion dollar hedge fund.

ETA: To your point, though, I don’t think it’s fair to say it was “Brady or bust”. Les Miles didn’t want to spread things out, so we didn’t. Orgeron did want to spread things out, but it took a couple of years to get all the pieces in place. I think we would have seen more of it last year if not for our O-line woes.
