Totally agree. It’s a hybrid approach. Telltale sign of a great coach is adjusting the system to fit the talent and players. We’ve seen Dino do that everywhere while staying consistent to the core elements he preaches.

The system philosophy works so well because his coaching and commitment to conditioning and discipline aligns with it.

He controls the stuff we can control - our conditioning, speed to the ball/snaps, maximizing offensive plays etc. A traditional offensive / meathead style approach will never win a national title in the northeast unless a coach can pull in top Recruiting classes. If we can pull in anything close to top 25-30 classes and increase a depth (a key thing he keeps referring to for a reason), I sincerely believe Dino can get us in the playoff if things align. Of course a lot of schools say that. But I never thought we’d be able to say that until I’ve seen what Dinos been able to do and the type of coach he is.

The key is getting the depth that could allow us to withstand injuries that are a natural part of football. I’m optimistic based on the type of talent we’re getting and how the younger guys have played.
