i agree that anything would work at USC - that was the point i was trying to make.

SMU just scored at will against TCU and won. they were deader than dead. TCU's defense is great every year. if that example doesn't make you go hmm, nothing will. You simply can't find a better example of a good scheme elevating a dead program.

marrone's a good coach but these guys aren't geniuses (sure took him a long time to graduate from here). he knows what he knows. and what he knows isn't what works best in college, especially in our situation.

these guys don't bothering trying to change their stripes based on trends - they have their offense and they go all in on it. you have the pistol guys, you have the spread option guys, you have the pro style guys, you have the multiple guys (ie the guys who don't know what they wanna be). can't be an expert in everything. it's just that marrone's offense is too hard to implement for what you get out of it in college. marrone is probably the best person in the world at implementing sean payton's offense who isn't named sean payton (or maybe brees). but we don't need a west coast offense in any form

he has an out though. he can hand off the offense to a college guy. focus on offensive line, toughness, recruiting, game day decision, managing the program. problem is, he got burned in year one by handing it off to the guy who went all in on the bubble screen (which should just be a play to keep defenses honest, not something you live and die by). i hope he's not scared off. because hip hop hackett knows what he (and his daddy) knows and whatever it is, it's not collegiate.
