To me, it's just a recipe for turning into the 2019 bobcats. You beat bad and mediocre teams, but the second you run into a team with superior athletes, you get annihilated. If we want to compete with the top of the FCS, we need to recruit players that get us there and coach them up to stop making so many mistakes. There are unfortunately no shortcuts.
Dude, there is so much wrong with your subjective wish that I don’t even know where to start. I guess, first of all, UM once ran a triple option. Did you know that? It is commonly referred to as the dark days of Griz FB. You want to take us back to the dark ages? Second, this is the BSC. Teams have to be balanced to make it through it and especially through the playoffs. BH is constantly preaching “balance” on O. Hell, even cal polyester scrapped the triple option years ago. Finally, everyone complains about UM not being able to recruit the right o-line now. Do you really think we could get the OLs needed for that kind of offense? Finally finally, who TF wants to run a triple option in inclement weather? Nobody runs it in the north because there would be too many fumbles. It would be coaching malpractice
It's not because people don't understand it or think it is boring. If it was so great, the best teams would run it. They don't because it isn't difficult to defend. You could add packages, but you can't run it exclusively.
Might want to read my other posts on the topic, or even watch the video I linked. The modern option offenses don't run it like they used to, and the inclement weather argument is bull as that could be applied to passing and even running the ball (bad snaps, exchanges etc.). Wing-T and Option Concepts doesn't mean we're running a triple option play every single down. Sweeps, belly, power, zone and +1 runs out of shotgun, pistol + under center make up a large percentage of Army's offense and Navy's "Millennial Wing-T".
You should go into BH’s office and attempt to convince him to make the switch to the Wingnut-T. Remember to cite all the northern teams that run it. You won’t get laughed out of the building or anything
Army is 10-1 with a loss to ND.
You're right no Northern team runs alot of Power, +1, Sweeps or Zone rushing plays with PA-Passes, screens etc. built into it with a dual threat QB......don't quit your day job.
UNLV is playing Boise tonight and they use alot of Option and Wing-T concepts in their "Go-Go" Offense, it's literally helped revive their program.
What is their record over the past 5? 10? How many championships?
They were Independent until this season so they haven't been able to win Conference Championships. He has 4 Bowl wins (2016, 2017, 2018, 2021) and won the CiC 4 out of the last 7 years and beaten Navy 6 out of the last 8 years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023).
And not a National Championship in the bunch. Isn't that the goal?
Feels like you're being obtuse on purpose, it's a different animal in FBS then it is at FCS. It's no secret we have a better post season setup then they do, they actively care more about $$ and matchups while leaving out the smaller school. GT under Paul Johnson showed it could be successful at the P4 level, and that was before the offense modernized.
My point, whether FBS or FCS, is that you can win games with triple Option/Wing-T but you will struggle to beat the best teams on a consistent basis. If this wasn't the case, more of the best teams would use it. Good teams can stop it, shut it down.
You do realize the service academies have height, weight and academic standards and have to be appointed? How many Ivies have national championships in the last 50 years running the modern offenses?
Apple to apples is how many teams have won a FCS Championship, because that is the goal. Army and Yale are not the comparables.
Because the QB gave up 50+ to a bad Weber team?
I can give you the names of multiple players who would say the opposite. And really who care their names, look at the size and speed of this team. It’s a joke. This coach sucks.
