But the conclusion to that article is "it worked". I think the main issue is what will Mario do with this team. But if he has to showcase an individual it probably means compensating for weakness in some other aspect of the team.

I do think he does want to build towards a team made in his image. That means hard nosed and tough in the trenches.

Matter of perspective. Isnt it?

We'd be stupid to try to play trench bully football without trench bullies.

Now in a couple of years once you have the pieces in place, then by all means. Until then, you play with the players you have, not the ones you wish you had.

Portal can address that issue much sooner

Considering how good Herbert is in the NFL I think you can make the case that, while 12-2 is good, not properly utilizing Herbert prevented them from playing in the playoffs and potentially winning a title. But obviously that's just a wild guess.

It's okay to be critical of some of Mario's decisions with the hope that he learns from it and gets better. Others have stated this but OC is definitely the most important hire. Need Mario to really be comfortable with opening up the offense and letting TVD eat.

I'll say about 2022 what I have said the last few years. If our QB, in this case an NFL level arm talent, can't break Malik's record for TDs, it's a failure of a season.

It worked the same way LSU in 2018 worked. They won the Fiesta Bowl and won double digit games that year. But even Ed Orgeron decided there was a better way to do things. Has Cristobal? You want to make the playoff and maybe win a national title during Mario's tenure or be a 2-3 loss team every year who never makes a playoff?

He's going to build the team in his likeness. I don't believe for a second it's going to be an instant fix...

Because football is football. The gimicky stuff doesn't last. If you payed attention, Mario is our coach not sabag.. You're discrediting Rooster and Franklin when they're more than capable of carrying some of the offensive weight. You just want to push your agenda...

What do you consider gimicky?

I just hope we can look like a better team next year, regardless of what we do on O. Just get better until the point where you are the best. Then, keep going.

I guess what really matters is Mario's perspective. But looking at his track record seems pretty clear we will be building an oline that will run block as well as pass block. Even looking at a potential OC candidate in Briles who currently works for a former oline player as HC you are seeing that same run first pattern.

Agenda? My agenda is not having a stubborn coach who decides "this is the way we do things" when the talent on the roster dictates he should do something else. Gimmicky? I hope we gimmick our way to a national title like LSU did after completely changing the way they do things on offense.

Something tells me we're going to be more disciplined. I'm going out on a limb and say we're going to see the difference from that alone...

As strange as it sounds.

Ice cream sales actually increase in Winter, not summer.

Like 95% sure that is false. At least what you mean. Peak is in Summer, Valley is in Winter. So sure in summer after it peaks it begins decreasing, and in winter after it hits the low it begins increasing....

No I am just trying to understand what you are trying to say. The gimmicky term is thrown around a lot and I don't necessarily get what people are saying.
For example I see a lot of air raid offenses run the heck out of the ball and put a lot of points up. But I think a lot of people consider them gimmicky.

Is the running from the spread to make up for a poor OLine? Ill go ahead and put it under gimicky in my book. Not saying I'm right. Just not my style of football..
