Northeast football: The offense is offensive

[IthacaBarrel]

Three yards, cloud of pellets, hairy ears, white sneakers, members only jackets and coors lights for all.

Yep, they will love the Luke hire.

 

[SUFan44]

does coyle have the stones to go against the meatheaded wishes of fat guys with moustaches who make up 98% of the people he'll talk to face to face?

From everything I've seen from him, I'm pretty sure he does.

we went outside the northeast for the AD, now we need to do it for the coach.

this will anger concussed fullbacks and hairy ears guys (thank you IB) with basic cable but they'll come around, they only know what they know and they need to be shown something different to understand

So, what are you suggesting?

Coaches from the NE don't know how to coach offensive football?

c'mon, i'm not suggesting that.

i'm saying that!

I suggest that. I strongly suggest that.

Boise, Eugene and Pullman are all very grim places in winter. And they don't have domes.

South Bend is at the bottom of Lake Michigan where the weather can be a lot like our weather. I'm pretty sure that Columbus and Ann Arbor get pretty cold in the winter. I suspect that same is true in Lincoln, Nebraska and Iowa City, Iowa. I agree that we don't have a monopoly on bad weather.

i don't think it's just weather although that's a big part of it. there is something cultural about it. lots of tough guys in the northeast.

Maybe not all of them. Chip Kelly coached at New Hampshire, after all.

But right now it sure doesn't seem like there's a lot of innovative offensive minds on the staffs of the 12 division 1 northeast programs.

The rankings this season are utterly embarrassing.

I have to say, for a guy who dismisses anecdotal/observational data, you seem to be advancing a geographically and culturally-based measure of offensive football strategy.

I'm very surprised.

Often times stats point to these type answers. Data is still the data. NE football has severe offensive issues.

It's not anecdotal to look at the results and schemes. I'm just trying to explain why those results are so bad

So, the schemes and results having nothing to do with talent level, recruiting budgets, or access to athletes?

It's NE "culture"??

You mean in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse we believe that real men play football by running the ball between the tackles?

Kinda. I have a spectacularly offensive theory that I think nails it but I'm keeping it to myself

And a number of mostly small time, low budget football programs.

I think we'd start up a gofundme to hear it.

Lower budget and smaller time than the MAC and Mountain West?

Maybe this year is a wild aberration but something seems to be amiss.

Good way to disguise whether you're coming or going.

You can't drop that kind of teaser and then not share.

albanycuse would hunt me down if i shared it, capeesh?

 

[elimunelson]

Can someone explain to me how Syracuse was the offensive laboratory of college football in the 90s then?

We need someone to do a dissertation on this topic?

52. Navy
67. UMass
77. Pitt
83. Rutgers
87. Maryland
95. Temple
108. Penn State
111. Army
119. Syracuse
120. UConn
126. BC

After the Babers announcement I figured it would be interesting bump this thread and list the specialty for each team's head coach:

52. Navy - option offense
67. UMass - offense
77. Pitt - defense
83. Rutgers - defense
87. Maryland - defense
95. Temple - defense
108. Penn State - slime
111. Army - offense
119. Syracuse - OFFENSE
120. UConn - defense
126. BC - meathead

I don't know, I've got a feeling one of those programs is well positioned to move up those rankings. Fast. #falconfast maybe.
