Earlier in the thread you pointed to luck being the reason for 2019, specifically with Burrow.

if you don't think having an already-developed QB who has #1 pick/Heisman potential fall into your lap is luck, then you are Oklahoma

As great as Burrow was it required multiple variables for Burrow to be great.

and this is why i referenced it being sad that his 2018 was somewhat wasted by a bad offense and bad coaching

there were plenty of spread/RPO options for OC in 2017 and 2018. why did it take 2 years to get there? this isn't the "vision" argument this is a major criticism on O. what the frick was he doing dicking around for so long?

this isn't O-specific. i criticized the hell out of Miles for this for over a decade. i criticized Kirby Smart for being a big pussy in the same manner in this thread

you know who ain't a pussy about overhauling offense every couple of years and installing a new system in a single offseason? the short guy we play every year who wins a natty more often than not. we have to be better than that guy, and O knew that in 2016 when he was lobbying for the job.

That 2018 offseason will always be strange to me looking back. Still can’t figure out why O hated Canada, having LSU pay a settlement to let him go, and promotes the TE coach of all people to OC. That same OC now has someone who is paid $800,000 a year to be by his side.

The thing is, if you're waiting for your offense to be good in a few years when "your players learn the system" it's always going to suck because defensive coordinators are smarter at football than college players.

So you have to be able to install and hit the ground running.

ETA: And Kirby Smart is exactly what people complained about Miles being.

Why do you keep saying this when lots of evidence exists to the contrary. Joe had a developed work ethic but was not a completely developed player in 2017 when he entered the transfer portal. He had been injured and had not played meaningful snaps in 3 years.
