But honestly, what are our offensive strengths we should be playing to?  We have all seen running plays get blown up in the backfield due to poor blocking and we have seen WR's get zero separation on short routes.  We have seen a QB struggle on 5 step and 7 step drops and struggle to run the zone read.

Triple option here would have fans pull their hair out (to be fair, like any other system).  My brother went to Georgia Tech and absolutely hates the option they run.  Also can't install that system one year and then move onto a different system the next year, especially when dealing with options that rely on athletic OL that can cut block to a power run attack that relies on physical OL to a spread offense that relies on OL to get to the open field and block.

Malzahn is the best offensive innovator in all of college football (and has been since he was an OC, love that guy).  They don't grow on trees.  The only chance of that is for Syracuse to hire a high school coach with a strong offense as its next HC.  I am not against that either, but it can turn out like Washington State under Roof and set the program back for awhile.

McDonald is a below avg to avg OC.  He won't gameplan you to victories, but he won't typically kill you either (the 2 points he cost us is bad with that playcall) and we are counting on his recruiting prowess to make up for the averageness of him (which is a mixed bag).
