This is an extremely well-written post, CIL, but I do disagree with some of it. One of Coach Marrone's biggest virtues is arguably that he [I]is[/I] a fan of the program. I know personally the issue that I take with the idea that this offense gives the team the best chance to win is that the coaches themselves have been quick to point out the flaws in execution. I then ask myself, are there systems in college football not so highly reliant on flawless execution, as our system seems to be, and the answer is yes. So I have a difficult time reconciling that with the coaching staff's belief in the system. My other concern is that we have a winning record that is soooooooo close to not being a winning record. Coach is 12 and 15 against Div 1 teams, with a ton of squeakers. I think we beat the odds last season winning that way as much as we did, and now we're going down the same path in year two. I think that at this point it's fair for fans to be very concerned about that now and in the future. As for the recruiting, I do think you make a fair point, however, I look at the guys we have coming in on that side of the ball and we're not overwhelming really in the recruiting either. So is that message working?
