My eyes tell me differently. Same offense we've seen since Jim got here and it's nothing like what Petrino has always ran.
That's what I just said. Same playbook, same committee deciding plays, same approach to calling plays. The difference is Petrino having a voice on the committee vs. our previous OC and Petrino is the one reading the sheet and physically calling the plays rather than Jimbo. That is it.
And every opposing coach we play says our offense is basically like every Jimbo offense in their press conferences.
And they would say the same about Petrino offenses. They run the same system. This was well known before he got here. That's part of the reason Jimbo went with him. Familiarity in what each other wants to do.
Petrino implements it and call things differently at times. But the play designs, concepts, etc., are virtually identical. Petrino tends to reduce the playbook over time to what his teams execute the best (which right now, isn't much). Fisher hammers home everything in the theory that if executed, it will work. But they draw from all the same designs and concepts.
