So it always comes down to a new staff bringing in a new system.  Of course it will not fit the players currently on the roster.   So what bends first?   McDonalds system seems to work in alot of other places around the country so would it work here if he was allowed to run it with his people?  Who knows.   But I do know the system or a close version of it works all over the county and puts up tons of offensive yard and points.   IMO that is the kind of offense you need at the dome.  Take advantage of what the dome offers you.   An exciting product would also bring the casual fan back to the dome as it would be exciting to watch.   NOW that doesn't mean I think McDonald did a good job or is capable of calling that offense.   Just commenting on the system itself.

The one thing I like what McDonald is that he didn't bend he was installing a system that could be around for a while.   Just because QB wan'ts good enough to run it doesn't mean we should dump the system.

Seems at the end of the day it is a philosophy that is the problem.   I believe Lester will install a more run first offense a ground and pound offense.   Which can get some wins but I don't think it will be a long term success in the dome in this day and age.   McDonald IMO didn't agree with that philosophy and wouldn't change his style to fit what seems like the entire coaching staff wanted so that is why he is gone.   That is just me reading the quotes.

We will see is the short term success is  worth long term success.  Is getting to 6-6 this season and maybe winning 6 games next season worth giving up on what could be a air show in the dome like a Baylor, Arizona State, Texas AM to name a few.    Once again not say McDonald himself was good enough to get that system to work properly I am just talking about the system and offensive philosophy.
