The 2008 Orange Bowl season has a lot of people thinking KU can still do that again, running a spread, even though that season was a combination of scheduling and a bunch of two and low 3 star kids developing into NFL caliber talents in a way that rarely happens in Lawrence, KS. Not to mention the spread is everywhere now, including in the B10 and SEC, and not just in a few conferences like it was in 2008. Spread talent is much harder to come by now for a school like KU that will be fighting for the left over spread recruits with the G5 and other P5 recruiting bottom feeders. There is less competition for recruits that would shine in a running oriented systems if we went that road.
There are a lot of idiots saying the triple option is boring on KU boards, especially compared to the KC Chiefs offense up the road from Lawrence. You know what is exciting idiots? Winning. If the next coach, Monken, Leipold, Saban or the Buddha, thinks having a running heavy offense will help us win in the B12, then hope they are right, and let them run it.
