So in general I really would like to know why coaches believe that ripping the bandaid off and changing schemes over night is better then gradually  changing the scheme over a year or two. Take grob for example. Took an option based team and tried to turn them into west coast spread over night. Never worked and we get a tenure that destroyed su football. Then we have marone types that walk in and gradually change the offense and we managed a few wins till his players came in. Now we have babers and ward pulling a grob and changing the defense into something that is the exact opposite of what we had. Is ripping the bandaid off and getting a defense that couldn't stop a high school team worth it just to change the system. To me I would think the smart move is to use what we have and slowly change it to give the team a chance to win. Personally I think last years defense with the current offense would have won the game yesterday. I really have a hard time seeing why the overnight change is the way to go. These coaches have to be smart people, one would think they could devise a set of plays that are close to what we ran the prior year to gain the advantage of using the players that compromise 90 %of the roster.
