Message: [QUOTE="Jersey Orange, post: 469717, member: 979"] DeLeone was a heck of an innovator in offensive football at this level in the late 80's - early 90s. He is deserving of the respect of SU fans. He was essentially the Chip Kelly of college football back then bringing the Freeze Option Passing Game to college football when most of the country still playing Fred Flintstone offense. In fact, many of the popular offenses today (including Oregon) are based on some of the blocking and read principles that DeLeone installed more than 25 years ago. Did he have struggles later in his career - absolutely - there is no denying that. But to brush him off as a fool is just beyond belief. [/QUOTE]
