To be an elite offense he’ll yes execution is huge which definitely goes back to coaching.I have no problem that we supposedly have 8 plays. My problem is the coaching behind those 8 plays. Good teams score the points they do because they execute at a high level. So what the **** are we coaching our players to do that they can't execute?
When Chip Kelly was at Oregon he admitted to only running a handful of plays out of different formations. But the combination of their pace, play-calling and execution of those plays is what set their offense apart.
I read the article from SI that somebody recently posted about Kendall Briles at Houston. They don't even have a playbook. They just have a combination of fantastic play calling in-game as well as great execution. Richt has no feel for the game as a play caller and that's very obvious to us fans, as well as opposing defenses by the way our offense has been shut down these last two seasons.
So maybe execution is off, but that is 100% on the coaches; Richt, Jon, Brown, Seareles, Dugans and Hartley. Something needs to change on the offensive staff because there's no reason Houston with a former WR playing QB now should have a much more dynamic offense than we do. There's no reason with the skill players we have that we shouldn't be averaging 40 points a game. Just looking at the teams who score more than we do a game and you can't tell me that all of them have better OLs, and skill players than us.
You don’t need to execute perfectly to throw more than 45% completion. The excuses are getting Golden-esque.
