He does, and he did a pretty good analysis a while ago that showed a stronger correlation with winning for teams that score more (have better offenses) than defend well (have better defenses).

People want to believe that all things being equal it doesn't matter what you do so long as have the talent to execute it well.

Thing is, all things aren't equal. We're not in a recruiting hot bed. We're not in a region of the country where the football programs offer much innovation in terms of style. We're the only program that plays home games in a Dome. Traditional football has lead us to being a major conference door mat for the past 15 years.

Add up our reality, and you (should) come to certain conclusions, and thankfully we're on a road that takes our unique circumstances and gives us a chance to be much more competitive. And, that will allow the fans to have more fun along the way. If it takes some time to get there, so be it. We certainly let a pro-style, defense first mentality run the clock out for a good long while.

Change is uncomfortable, but the familiar was getting us nowhere. It was decent at providing the illusion of competitiveness though.
