This is not as true as you and Millhouse want it to be. Last year alone Michigan State, Clemson, Wisconsin, Louisville, Ole Miss - all had elite defenses to go with mediocre offenses. It is true that great offense is better than having a great defense in CFB today - but it's being wildly overstated on the board.

Look at Leach, Munn, and Holgerson's w-l percentage for their careers. They lean into their offenses so much that their defenses struggle. Just like Big 12 football - exciting offense, mediocre defense = no CFB champs in a long while.

Finally - people are getting too hung up on his words "NFL style" rather than the fact he is a college football coach and has no NFL coaching experience. He's been teaching this system to college kids for a long time. When Greggers and his OC's used the verbiage it was coming from guys who had just recently coached in the NFL. Two very different beasts.

People should be hoping Lester works out - because a competent to great offense along with out defensive coaches is a path to competing for the tops in the ACC.
