Exactly. One year with Gus, then went on to USM and ASU and developed his offense, probably with some items he learned from Gus and ideas from other coaches. he then turned that into successful QBs and offenses. Does he run something that fits what Gus wants (HUNH, Power run spread), sounds like it is enough of what Gus has recruited for with some possible additions. Which is what we needed.
Lashlee only was under Gus, other than one year at Samford. So he couldn't really bring something new/different, just what he learned under Gus. I think Gus has evolved enough as a HC to bring in a guy that matches his system and players to build on what we already have.
In the end, production will be defining factor. If Gus and his Coaches don't produce, they will be gone. call me a pumper, but I am looking for reservations at the playoff finals for next year.
