Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1180354, member: 289"] We did embrace it and it didn't work because we didn't have the personnel to run it. The issue, as discussed before is: do you run the offesne that best fits the personnel you have and try to win with it, then recruit the guys you want to do what you really want to do or do you start out doing what you really want to do to send the message to players who would like to play in that system that this is the place to come? I'm not sure any of us know the answer to that for sure but I'm sure there are some who are sure they do. I tend toward winning with what you've got then switching to what you want to do when you get the kids who can run it, which is basically what we did in the 80's. I've said many times that the Dome was the ideal place for a high-powered passing offense and I wish we'd been the pioneers for that, rather than a belated follower. But you could hardly have run that with Todd Norley and Mike Siano. [/QUOTE]
