Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1165284, member: 485"] Marrone cut Spence, took over the offense himself, played a conservative run-first offense in 2010 and won with defense. It wasn't pretty but he made us respectable. Then, Hackett developed his schemes (taking heavy heat in 2011) and went hurry-up in August before the 2012 season, with a senior QB and two senior WRs. Coach Mac Era -- he might have tailored the offense to the available talent in his first handful of seasons (break-even seasons for the most part, stodgy on offense), but he also had improved the skill position talent with the recruiting classes in 1984 and 1985. QB, WR, RB and TE. The "available talent" on offense in the break-out years was the result of successes in recruiting. [/QUOTE]
