I can't take this spread/Air Raid talk anymore.  People need to realize that these types of offenses thrive on creating 1-on-1 match ups in the open field.  Basically you're saying our guy is better than yours.  How are we expected to win when we can't out recruit 3/4 of our league???  I'm a coach in high school and going into a game against a spread opponent it's pretty simple.  Teams that have more than 1 explosive WR, better than average RB and a good QB will be successful and point some points up based on talent (I'm oversimplifying this, but you get the point).  How does a spread attack fit us unless a new coach has major recruiting ties???  Our scheme this season was sound on both sides of the ball.  The majority of our losses can be traced to better talent, see USF.  The only reason the Clemson game was close was because the triple option negates an opponents talent to some degree and focuses on assignment. I'd take a coach who has strong recruiting ties over some offensive genius. There's an old saying, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shi*t.   Otherwise, get ready for a lot of quick 3 and outs in that spread up tempo offense unless we're pulling in Oregon/Baylor type talent.  Before you reference MAC schools with spread attacks, they would not be able to hang week in week out in any major conference.

I'm neither pro offense or defense for our next HC, but hire someone with some strong recruiting ties in the Northeast.
