Bet anytime a new coach is hired, the other coaches who will have involvement with the new coach will have input and be asked for their view. So.....coach maybe picked the wrong guy for the job? or the right guy for the wrong job? Whichever...he now has made a change. What I would mostly blame Gus for would be sticking with an ineffective/wrong coach for too long. ..which I think happened with Lashley. JMO Probably both guys tbh. Gus just needs to be Gus and lead the offense. It's his passion and it is what ultimately got him a HC gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but as the core we would be beaten terribly by SEC D's. Hence why the RPO was invented. It takes the deficiencies of the ZR, and attacks the D as they do what is needed to stop the ZR. In a few seasons, the RPO will fall just like the ZR and a new scheme will have taken over. Thus is the cycle of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed in this because it doesn't do anything towards developing the backups. I think you are right. Gus played conservative to run out the clock, he was not concerned about running up the score like many suggest. this is how Gus plays. Get the lead then lay back and try to hold the ball. Does nothing to develop players playing like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about wanting it to be the core offense? I actually already spoke against this. But to answer your question a lot of teams use tbe ZR, not as tbe fastball, but as the changeup. Missisippi State killed us with it, Penn State, Michigan, Carolina Panthers, and many other schools that had QBs athletic enough for the ZR used it. Zone Read and RPOs are all from the same read option family, So when you see tbe Chiefs run a read option shovel pass, it should remind you of our “pop” pass in 2013. As long as the read option can flip the numbers, (leaving one defender unblocked and accounted for, a QB keeper can shift the numbers 11 against 10 in favor of offense) there are going to be reasons to use it.

The Ravens ran it intermittently pretty well yesterday....but no one can it be the primary offense but it can be effective in the right situation, like the triple option.

So, if it's not the primary offense, then you need a QB that is a threat passing the ball. Otherwise, you end up with the 2016 UGA game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a much better idea than your assertion of we need to stop running the zone read when we have two QBs that are athletic enough to do damage with the zone read.

There has been film out on the zone read forever now and there are solutions to stop it but teams still successfully use it because the offense has counter solutions.

But running an RPO base isn't a ZR base. It requires a person who is more than just an athlete at QB. All offence evolved from the single wing and wing t, doesn't mean all are the same. In a RPO the QB will not run as much, only as a last resort. The blocking schemes are different, etc. It is more of a variation of the zone run than the ZR.

We can utilize it just as others use the RPO: to put stress on the D. Again, I’m not saying we should use it like we did against Tennessee in 2013 (6 total passes.) We can use it to our strengths along with veers and QB draws though. 22 minutes ago, AUGunsmith said: But running an RPO base isn't a ZR base. It requires a person who is more than just an athlete at QB. RPOs are just a fancier version of tbe pop pass that NM threw to Sammie Coates in 2013 Iron Bowl. RPOs and ZR can both be used off inside zone and outside reads. https://www.google.com/amp/s/rpoclinic.com/2017/08/29/inside-zone-rpo-the-basics/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about Petrino, but he deserves a raise of glass for developing Lamar to be much more than just an athlete. Freshman year to sophomore year is night and day.
