I don't have the time nor energy to do it, but I got to thinking, I'd like to see stats for Petrino's offenses as a HC at Louisville and elsewhere broken down as to how they fared versus a 4-3 base defense, or another type of base D (3-4, 3-3-5, 4-2-5).

We all know that Petrino's been a **** good offensive coach throughout his career, but I'd like to know if there's a particular kind of defense (or ****, if someone finds a trend regarding certain coverages) that his offenses historically have or have not fared well against.

If someone has the time to give us some research, or any ideas on the topic, I'd be interested to hear them.

Coach D, is that you?
 
Well I found something that goes into detail about his variation of the shallow cross.

Its really sound stuff and makes you appreciate his offensive prowess. Does say that zone blitzing is probably your best bet tho so I guess that helps. I also know that alot of what Petrino does offensively is based on the One back offense that Erickson pioneered so heres something on that if your interested.

Thats all i got off the top of my head, ill look for some more stuff thats more about trying to slow down his offense when i got some more time.

I'll read that later when I get the chance--thanks!
 
My memory, what's left of it, recalls that under Petrino Louisville's receivers find and sit in the short gaps, the QB looks to the open guy and quick releases. To defend this our DB's and linebackers must delay the receivers to impede timing and there has to be pressure to get their QB moving. Unless one of the DE's is creating havoc the pressure has to come frequently and from different directions. I'm hoping our improved LB speed will make a difference in the middle. Also hoping our DB's don't give the same cushion we've seen with coach D.

Looking forward to hearing where I'm wrong.

Having Grace on the field will be very valuable against L'ville.
 
Whatever defense LSU and Alabama ran. Seems like the only defenses he's really struggled against in his career.

With any OC, they are constantly looking for the weak spot on a d. If you don't get pressure on the QB (I don't care what D you are running), that is an OC's wet dream. He can use his whole play book if he wants. It all starts up front.
 
Petrino shredded Shannon's guts out with a quick passing game. He likes the QB to get rid of the ball quickly, which negates a good pass rush.

I'm not a coach D hater (yet, I'm giving him 1 more season), but just the idea of him coming on to this board looking for advice is too funny.
