OMG once again the idiots that call themselves so called "Doc guys" hijack a post and make it where coherent thoughts can't be made. Jesus wish you guys would get a freaking life.
There is an ignore function, which I have used liberally with regard to the "Doc guys." I thought i wasted a lot of time on here; they take it to a whole new level.
Oh Im sorry, excuse me for caring about a fellow MoSports legend! @Cards1968 , he's been around here longer than you and I combined!! Sorry my concern for a fellow poster upset you!
And apparently you dont read all the posts in a thread. I clearly said, we can get back to discussing the option in class 6!!
It’s what we know, so it’s what we run. We’ve run veer out of flex, split back, and I based on our personnel.
one underrated thing about being a true option team at the class 6 level is that with very few people running it, we are not a fun week of preparation. Pass rushing d-ends have to change it up and get ready to take dive that week. I’ve never coached under another offensive system so I don’t have anything to compare it to
I've coached in wishbone at a class 5 school. Did alright. Coached flexbone at a class 3 school. Did alright. It's not the in thing. That's why you don't see it. It takes a lot of confidence to run with your QB. I had a QB that did great in practice but clammed up game time. A friend of mine I coached wishbone option with in idaho, we won quite a bit. He is double wing now. He said he couldn't trust his QBs anymore.
People in this day and age tend to hate the Option game.....we ran the split back veer from 2012 up until 2020. With pretty dang good success....but We had to run it in 2018 and 2019 just to kill the Clock and to cover up our lack of talent at the Skills and to keep our Defense off the field. It kept us in games the 2018 season and allowed us to beat more talented teams.
IN 2019 we had 6 seniors and only two who could play and it was a looonnnnggg season but the Veer kept us in games and close to Wins even though we could never prevail....
Finally after much debate we decided on the last game to go spread and get our Fresh QB an younger skills who are pretty salty some reps and seasoning and partially to Pacify the Parents and Fans and show them why we ran the Veer.
Earlier in the year we had played the #1 seed in our district to a 20-6 Final....12 to 6 going into the mid fourth Quarter with the veer.......just came up short versus better talent.
But we got a rematch The Final game versus the same team and as I stated with the idea of running the Spread with our Veer QB at FB/TB/TE/WR final score was 60-20....it was 38 to 13 at half....end of 3rd Q it was 60-20...JV in 4th quarter......But the Crazy thing after the game everyone was Happy....Excited with the Spread offense, upbeat and jumping for joy, we got calls and congrats from Fans, parents ,grandparents, school board members SO joyful for the Change of offense that got us hammered and non-competitive from the get go. They bragged about how good we looked and how it was a Fun and Competitive game to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was over in the First Quarter....who am I kidding it was over when we decided to run the spread.
Now before anyone Rails on the HC for his decision we knew we had some Spread style talent forth coming and that the Veer was not really that Viable per talent set. The Seniors where all for running the Spread in their final game as well...and We are all well versed in the Wing-T the offense because we ran that prior to the Veer conversion and We decided that a Gun-T spread was in the Mix in 2020. And it was good to us this year so their was legit reasons for the switch.
But back to my original OP a lot People are not Fans of the Veer or Option even if it has been successful for many seasons for a program, they blame it for any losses as being one dimensional or to easy to defend and a scheme that waste WR talent,QB talent etc.
A lot of draw backs to running it from off the field IMO more so than on.
Is it really considered "wasted time" if you enjoy the time you spend on here?
You make a good point. I guess I meant that maybe I should be out doing something productive and useful instead.
Off the grid living. Now that is intriguing. I don't know that my 6 year old children would find it so, or that I would with them (and wife) in tow, but every time one of them has a meltdown it becomes more and more attractive.
Now that I'm the only male at home and I got 3 teenage girls and my wife who doesn't like me very much, I may go off the grid.
TMA for life! Evn TMM has mentioned just how banty Gabe gets and even would try to set him off. I've never followed him on Twitter and only can stand him in small doses on TMA but he just seems like a delight. I think I lost a lot of respect for you Raw, don't know who the greatest living broadcastor TMM is, come on! I heard Gabe when to St. Gabes, get it.
Man I've thought about that as well....but my GF is a no go on real camping. Gotta have power, interwebb and NO BUGS. Now she is OK off Grid if you got Generator, Cabin with all the modern amenities and I do all the work. LOL
So many people I know want me to put them out of their misery if they can't live Modern. And they appear half serious. Literally say yeah Put me on your Zombie death list. Can't live without indoor plumbing and Starbucks.
Always wanted Paul Johnson to flip rosters with FSU to see what he could do. My guess is he would have had a lot of the same success Nebraska had.
Great talent is difficult to stop no matter what. Great talent combined with option football (no matter what formations you use)? Frightening.
I agree, I thought Paul J would be able to really up his talent at G-Tech. But in this day and age of the Spread and the Option not being as popular in high school I think it's hard to recruit Uber talent to that scheme.
No, he got the ones that the other guys didn't want and plugged them in where they would do the best. Remember, they have pretty high admission standards. He can't bring in some stud who didn't study. Look at how they've done since he left.
So true of guys like him. They were ok before him. Pretty solid during his stint there. Then just awful after.
