Lashlee outlines offensive philosophy, talks King addition

[Canezum5]

Question:

What college team would be the closest thing to UM in talent wise that runs a spread and why do you think it took us this long to figure out it's what is best for the S. FL athletes?

Nostalgia. Miami won so much and put so many players in the NFL with pro style concepts they refused to believe it was outdated. They kept a " dont fix what ain't broken" philosophy to a strategy that has long been proven BROKEN.

This. I love everything about Lashlee's offense and getting King was a total coup. But it won't mean a thing if Nelson is routinely getting beat off the snap like last year.

If the ball is out fast then it wont matter if hes beat off the snap. Chase young whipped Clemson Oline all night. Didnt stop Clemson from winning

Dabo read this and just **** his pants.

Kid put on a ton of weight very fast and was forced to play while still trying to figure it out. As long as he doesn’t have an undiagnosed hearing problem, he will be better.

When you are a team player playing under a hard *** like Enos, you can try to hard to not make a mistake, which for a young ol is procedure penalties.

He has a year of experience with game days and all spring and summer to get more agile with the increased muscle mass and weight.

An experienced and talented offensive line is always a plus. The thing is, NFL caliber tackles are few and far between. There’s not a ton of teams that can just line up and run the ball at the opponent. When Hal Mumme started running the original Air Raid offense, it was specifically designed around the fact that he did not have the horses in the trenches to match up with the smash mouth powerhouse teams. He made his receivers line up wide to stretch the defense horizontally and make hiding blitzes much harder. He made his linemen line up with wider splits to make defensive linemen have to work harder to get around pass blocking tackles. He shortened routes to get the ball out of his quarterback’s hand faster and put him in the shotgun so he didn’t have to waste extra seconds performing a 5 or 7 step drop. He brought the RPO into D1 Football simply because his line could not block Javon Kearse. He told Tim Couch to either throw the bubble or hand off depending on what Kearse did at the snap.

Kearse. One of the few turds that was the real deal at the next level.

I know it's all the rage to be down on Richt, but you are correct. It seemed like he kept simplifying the playbook because the staff and players couldn't or wouldn't handle more.

I think he failed to recognize the weakness in his OL and called plays that almost killed Kaaya. I cannot believe he didn't understand how to run an uptempo offense.

 

[Calvin]

Still have to get much better O line play. There is not QB a live who can throw from his ***.

The o-line was not the problem last year, it was the moron oc calling for 5 & 7 step drops with playaction when it was unecessary.

 

[Calvin]

Rhett is going to transform this offense, the combination of he & King is going to set the Corstal on fire.

Nothing anyone says can convince me otherwise...

I'm still hyped AF we finally woke the **** up & brought the Uptempo Spread with Air Raid concepts to Miami.

Time will tell, im a seeing is believing type guy when it comes to football, as of right now tho, this rhett lashlee guy is definitely confident, the thing that's impressive to me is, if you're averaging over 70 to 80 offensive plays a game, that means either your 3rd down pct% game is high, or you're just consistently going up & down the field. The good news is, somebody definitely needed to speed up our offense, this raises the I.Q. levels of the players, no time for loafing while losing, let's get the plays in and go ball. I want to see what impact rhett has on the running game, will we be able to run it when we need to, or is it more of a gimmick & gash running game that piles up yards, but is to soft to convert 3rd and shorts when need be.

Also im interested in see how this new oc uses formations to our advantage, if he's a common sense oc, than we good!

Oline was DEFINITELY the biggest problem last year. It is still going to be a problem, but the new philosophy should minimize its effect.

Clemson is the closest to the offense Lashlee uses. Other teams with similar talent levels running different versions of the spread are Auburn, Oregon, LSU, Michigan.

The reason it took so long for UM to step into the 21st century is that they always try to make the safe hire when it comes to head coaches and conservative head coaches often make conservative coordinator hires. There’s this weird notion that spread offenses are some kind of gimmick but the best teams are all using them is some way or another to win championships, meanwhile Miami is motioning a fullback to the strong side of a heavy formation right before handing the ball off for a two yard loss

Lashlee goes way faster than Clemson does now. Clemson has dialed back the tempo a little over the years.

I’m really excited to see how Lashlee’s offense looks because he’s incorporated the Malzahn run-first tempo spread with elements of the Air Raid he picked up from Dykes. It’s s relatively new amalgamation of concepts, as he was only with Dykes and the Air Raid a couple years.

 

[Silver King]

I told (the QB’s) `Hey, it's a fresh slate’.

Netflix's Last Chance U jumped too early going to the West Coast and Laney College. They could have come here instead this coming season and featured an even greater QB slant: Fresh Slate U.

Some of our Qs have had more Fresh Starts than the ever returning Mullet hairdo

Do you think this style of uptempo offense will negatively impact the defense? I truly have no idea, but it seems rare that a spread team also fields a quality defense.

Our defensive numbers will absolutely suffer. Anyone who tells you otherwise hasn’t paid any attention to college football.

Most teams who have used this breakneck tempo have gotten away from it in recent years for that reason and because they would struggle being able to dial it down with a lead and burn clock.

It’s going to be fun to see how it plays out here.

Nothing impacts a Defense more negativiely than a slow paced 3 & out Pro style bro offense.

LSU, Clemson, Oh St, Bama, Auburn, Oregon, Penn St, Minnesota, SD St, Cal & Lousiana are all teams that run different variations of Uptempo Spread & maintain good Defenses.

I think you could be confusing Mike Leach's Pass only Air Raid with uptempo Spread. It's virtually impossible to field a good Defense when you throw the ball 80-90% of time, but our offensive system will be way more balanced than that. It'll be a 55/45 or 60/40 percentage for pass/run ratio, you can run the ball while still going fast paced. Tempo isn't just about throwing the ball every snap, it's about moving the ball quickly in both the pass & run game to keep defenses off balanced & not allowing them to substitute into different personnel so as to catch them off guard & create mismatches out of different offensive looks & wide splits.

Our Defenses problem will not be the offense being too productive or too fast, their issue will be about fixing the secondary & ensuring that the LB corps can maintain discipline & gap integrity.

The Spread offense is not a bad thing, it's literally one of the best things to ever happen to college football, our fans are just so used to Pro style bro that people think Spread is some kinda contagious incurable disease lol. Every major winning P5 program in college football runs some form of Spread, we're literally one of the few schools that don't up until now.

We've been behind the times for the last decade plus, we're just now catching up.

Oline was DEFINITELY the biggest problem last year. It is still going to be a problem, but the new philosophy should minimize its effect.

The o-line looked like it did mainly because of the oc, why did he consistently leave nelson on an island with no help. This o-line was not that bad, i dont care who the o-line coach was last year, those sequence of play calls last year were about as clueless as i've ever seen called. Basically ever took advantage of anything, when the running game was going good, the next call would be an empty back set, the passing game going good, next call a running formation. Never called plays from an advantages position, enos already was just another big 10 minded double agent moron, only here to try his best to make Miami look foolish.

 

[Unsider]

Even when Richt was at Miami, when he went uptempo, the same offense that had been struggling seemed to transform itself. I never understood why he didn't run it that way all the time. I guess you have to have the system in place to run it at a sustained rate, but the pressure it puts on a defense gives it a huge advantage.

Respect for your take, but everyone and their mother who designed the uptempo just for our game against them, was successful. It’s all coaching. Either you have it, or you don’t. When you don’t, get people who can. Thats one place Manny is beginning to earn my respect. Time will tell, but for now, he is.

 

[Vengeful OldTestament God]

Richt wanted to run this type of offense in 2017 and 2018 but never implemented the proper passing concepts and routes. It’s like he had an idea of what he wanted to do but didn’t have any experience doing it and since the rest of his staff were wet behind the ears yes men, there was nobody to help him do it.

I think Richt was running exactly the kind of offense he wanted to run. A 5 play offense that made the Coker T look creative in comparison. I never got the impression that he was trying to run anything different.


Enos was a bit different. I think he wanted a halfway creative offense, but he implemented it really poorly and it ended up working even worse than Richt’s offense did.

Richt’s offense was doo doo but he was at least attempting to involve modern spread concepts. He ran zone read, he ran slant/bubble RPO but there was no cohesion in the passing game and the receivers only ran like two different route combos. It became incredibly predictable I honestly believe he stopped trying and didn’t even care anymore. Enos was far more intricate and I do believe he has an ability for drawing up plays that can be very effective. It’s just that he was **** bent on running the plays he had drawn up even though they were not well suited for the personnel. His plays often would require perfect execution to work and that’s asking way too much for any college offense especially one with so little experience on the line and at quarterback. He was also a terrible play caller. He would always follow a poor running play with a downfield pass. Just because it’s 2nd and 10 doesn’t mean you need 15 yards. We were constantly in third and long because of his terrible play calling.
