Crazy thing was in '06 we were 3 plays from 12-0. I sound like a Jimbo or Sherman fan boy. But we were close that year, perhaps fools gold as the Big 12 was weak that year.Bill Superman said:Who cares, we sucked. That's what you'll get when you can't throw the ball.W said:

I was referring to Fran's overall coaching and scheme which was garbage.

Fran's offense was going in the wrong direction. It started as the spread option and then every year moved more and more towards the I-formation power option. One of the most absurd coaching decisions, of course it happened at A&M. I don't know what we do as an organization that makes coaches come in here and hunker down and become so stubborn instead of being creative and outside the box. All four coaches after RC had offenses that regressed as their tenure went on in both scheme and innovation.greg.w.h said:

We sometimes call those TRAINING SCARS. The Bad Habits that are engrained from past training. They are not going to go away after 15 practices.Hubert J. Farnsworth said:Quote:
Elko's comment on the OL today spoke volumes to me after watching our guys block ghosts as blitzers ran right by them. "Our focus is a lot less on cohesiveness and more on strain along the OL. We want to see kids play harder and block better."
I found that comment very interesting. It sounds like they are trying to coach out some bad habits leftover from Addazio. I also like how their focus isn't on cohesiveness or "gelling" right now and is instead on making them better blockers. Under Jimbo it always seemed like he talked a lot about the "gelling" aspect. Maybe they should have been more focused on making them better blockers.

Jimbo's staff did a poor job recruiting o-line. O/oline should be priority.

Not true. Jimbo's recruiting was great at nearly every position. Now development that's a completely different outcome.

I forgot who on TA radio said it yesterday but someone mentioned Foster should still be the starting center. With him missing all spring the only way I'd agree with that is if everyone else we try at center completely sucks. I've seen nothing out of his play that makes me think he can miss spring and still be our best option at center...but we will see.
