Yes, that's why I think it works where he is and won't work here. His offense works because of the lack of size and speed where he is. When all things are equal it won't work.You do realize that if he ends up in the SEC that he’ll also have SEC players? You do also understand that he’ll play to the strength of what his team has at the time? He ran triple option less than 25% against Liberty in the Cure bowl and has a 2* QB and a 5’8” center because that’s what he has.. Lost on a missed FG in OT. The guy does the best he can with what he has. You don’t just win multiple coach of the year awards and be Mickey Mouse at the same time.
All the things you say he lacks is because of the talent he currently has. SEC defense today aren’t exactly what they were even 5 years ago. We’re recruiting 205lb hybrid LBs that can cover now. That was unheard of then. A perfect example is our LB...... Those dudes can stop a run decent enough but get ate up in coverage. The spread/RPO part of the game has made SEC coach’s recruit smaller, faster guys that can cover.
Speed, Fast, Air Raid, Explosive passing game.... I know these guys are out of our budget, but Freeze, Herman Kiffin are what we need to be looking for. Like I said earlier, Butch 15-16 scheme is where we need to go. That team looked similar to Ohio St, Chadwell looks like what just got fired at UK.
Of the realistic candidates, I like Napier
