When you can't get a quality q.b. and you have to run a gimmick offense to mask his deficiencies, this will happen.
Gus ran that offense at Arkansas State and as the O.C. at Auburn and now as the head coach at Auburn. Eveyone has caught on to his gimmick.

When he was at Arkansas as the O.C. he ran D. McFadden, Jones & the big, bruising full back. Can't recall his name. But they had a three headed rushing attack.

A gimmick that has a national title and a title game appearance... Ok.

His glaring deficiency is not having a competent QB this year
Nick Marshall almost won a national title as a QB. Let that sink in. that is superior coaching

That is not a gimmick offense. Their base plays are powers and counters and then he exploits defenses with satellite plays off of his base plays.

They run like 4 plays with different variations. They are a gimmick. Didn't look superior going 14-11 (6-10) over the last two seasons.

I'm pumping the brakes on Malzahn being the genius coach he is portrayed as.

Lmao you do realize most offenses are based on 5-10 plays that only look different based on formation, personnel and motion.

Yeah, gimmick

Spin it however you want.

Like I said, I'm pumping the brakes on him after the miracle season in year 1.

This is the only recurring dream I have. I get to class and I've forgotten my homework or some big project. I'm all nervous and sick feeling about it. Then I wake up.

I'm in my mid-30's.

Same here - I'm a few years older than you. My version - it's finals week and I just discover a class I never attended and need to get to the final. I can't find the classroom.

Edit: Just caught up and see that Aesius, Bruin, jjay, and Wingin all have this same dream! :zeitung_lesen:

Look, I'm not going to get into dissecting offenses. That gets over my head very quick.

If Malzahn's offense can't be considered gimmicky then I don't know what can.

I am not sold on him being a superior coach. They have loads of talent down there and they went 6-6 and were lucky to do so.

Does he have a QB? No. Who's job is that? And why is that an excuse when his O ran perfectly fine with a converted receiver in year 1?

Perception of Malzahn is that he is a genius. I no longer buy it.

Same happens to me. I often have a dream that I missed several classes in high school and have to go back as an adult. Then I fail everything.

Their 2013 season was two miracle plays away from being a standard 9-3 season. They basically had the reverse fortune that we had this season.

And a QB so bad they had to use a rb at arky. And a no name at Tulsa. Gus is a good coach. Not infallible, but from strictly an offensive scheme and playcalling perspective, I'd take him over any coach in the sec, including ours.

Seems to me their offense works better with an elite athlete at the QB position than it does with an actual quarterback.

Points back to the suggestion I made about it being a gimmick offense.
