Goes absolutely HAM on SEC Offfenses
LINK
quote:

“First, it becomes it won’t work,” Leach said. “Second, they basically say oh it’s a system, suggesting that people who don’t do it that way, who just run it up the middle, stick all your asses together so one hand grenade can kill everybody, that’s the right way to do it. Since they do it the right way, they’re OK with the fact they lost.

“This is a great time to be in the SEC, everybody’s got the same offense: run right, run left, play action. And they tease themselves and say we threw it four more times a game this year than we did last year.”

Anybody want to go HAM on Big 12 and Pac-12 defenses? It shouldn't be that hard.

Been that way as long as I can remember.

Never understood the conservatism on the field. Best athlete play QB, high school offenses philosophy... (actually, that's an insult to high school offenses that are pretty sophisticated now.)

who cares?

It's not like what he's saying is prolific. You could just as easily say he made a name for himself at TT where they threw it 50 times per game and never heard of a defense.

Run whatever system you want! I think those old curmudgeony stuck in the mud offenses in the SEC did perfectly fine the last few decades on a national scale.

I don't think it really matters what kind of offense you run if you're well-coached and can wear your opponent down.

I'm just glad Mike Leach keeps us entertained.

Never change Mike. Never change.

If he could dominate the LOS he would run more.... works both ways

The point I took from this is that the QB play has been so abysmal that coaches have become even more conservative on playcalling in an attempt to compensate. This has led to a lot of safe playcalling I.e. run the ball and try a play action here and there.

That may not have been his exact point, but it's the point I thought of.

Look at Alabama this year.

JC, what the hell are they doing with that guy at QB. This is Alabama.

They can't get a 5 star arm? I don't get this running back at QB SEC philosophy.

Since Mike Leach started coaching SEC teams have won 9 titles, he has won zero.

I don't think anyone with half a brain would declare that Auburn, Ole Miss, Arkansas, LSU, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi State are running the same offense.

I would expect an offensive genius to recognize the minutiae and distinct differences of offensive playcalling.

Leach's offense did light up the vaunted Minnesota not-Vikings defense for 12 points in his team's bowl game.
