Doing things right? Here’s what’s right in football. Do something well. Preferably a few things well. Build constraints off of those things, and do the constraints well. And then adjust each for specific opponents.
Or we can do it the meathead way and fail running inside trying to teach ourselves to run inside so we can then suck at the constraints built off of running inside, because it’s not especially hard to stop in the first place.
No one is saying abandon every run inside. Just de-emphasize them until we have the players that can execute them, or the coaches can coach it up in practice. You act as though fanatical fans haven’t watched the same players fail to do the same things under 2-3 coaching staffs now. Sorry, these aren’t blank slates. On the sidelines or on the field.
Tom Herman is an appropriate example of what not to do. He spammed inside zone for years despite our never being particularly good at it. According to you he should have been successful since, ya know, it’s the building block of all offenses in your eyes. But, in a point in both his and my ledger, he figured out LJH was nigh indefensible in the slot on option routes, and kept calling it’s number. It probably kept him employed a year past his expiration date.
It’s real simple. Have some success doing what we are capable of, or bash our heads against the wall doing what we wish we were capable of. I just want to win as much as possible. Attempting that through forcing shitty line play in the name of multiplicity is a poor strategy to apply to that whole win as much as possible thing.
Btw, winning as much as possible usually earns a staff the right to attain players who can indulge their dogmas. And then you and the coaches can get hard thinking about success up the middle buoying full field RPO’s.
