I agree. Terry bowden wrote an excellent article today on the big upsets this season, this is what he said on the coaching across the board:
Coaching. Now, I have to be careful here because this isn't going exactly where you think it might be going. I'm not saying that coaches at the power schools are getting out-coached. They didn't get to where they are by not knowing how to coach 'em up and get 'em ready to play. I'm just saying that desperate times call for desperate measures. Coaches who are trying to find a way to win ballgames with lesser talent are more willing to scrap their old philosophies and try something new than the guys with all the talent. Heck, if I have better players than you've got, I'm going to make sure I just keep doing what I've been doing and let the superior athletes be the difference. Jackie Sherrill used to say if it ain't broken break it. Now I know what he means. If you were the first person to put in the wishbone, you won the national championship. If you were the last guy to take it out, you got fired.
The successful coaches at non-traditional power schools are playing a different game than a lot of the "comfortable" folks are willing to play. Texas Tech equally disperses 60 throws a game to five different receivers. Missouri is treating every series like a two-minute drill and has yet to have a delay of game penalty this year (they average snapping the ball in 14 seconds). West Virginia has mastered the shotgun option, Hawaii has thrown for 400 yards and six touchdowns in the first half. Navy has the audacity to actually continue to run the triple option.
Wake Forest has found its own special way of doing things, too. And they do it with confidence. Just ask the Seminoles.
