Hey Knuckles, how ya like them apples?
Fisch is a great fit for NFL OC. This occurred to me earlier today. Probably even a better fit than college.
I see plenty of 50/50 teams in there so I'm not sure what y'all are squawkin about. The majority of the heavy passing has come in the last 5 years with all the rule changes for concussions. I agree Fisch is more suited to the NFL game and here's why...
The NFL is a bit different now without being able to play any defense. I would say let's stick to college or look at the stats before maybe '05 or something. The NFL really is a different animal. The Canes are a college team, when they were dominant they still ran the football a lot. The NFL has shifted to a more pass based system only because of rule changes not because it is the best way to win, it might be now I guess. The league itself has created an advantage for offenses in the passing game that doesn't exist in college football.
In addition the talent is concentrated in the NFL and the teams practice way more so they can build a lot better continuity in the passing game. We were not efficient passing the ball last season but, we were explosive. I'll give Fisch some credit for limiting Stephen's picks but, his completion % was not stellar and I continue to maintain that we did not run the ball enough. We were 117 of 122 teams in rushing attempts last season. We can't be that pass heavy in the college game and be dominant. Drops are going to happen, our receivers will never be as polished as NFL receivers, and they also don't have the benefits of the rules like NFL guys.
FWIW while FIU's offense may be classified as a spread team they were tied for 52nd in the nation in rushing attempts. Had Miami handed the ball off as much as FIU we would have beaten UNC and UVA.
