Quote from Wikipedia about Urban Meyer:

Meyer is widely considered the one of the most accomplished practitioners of the spread offense. When Meyer got his first head coaching position at Bowling Green, he took trips to visit John Smith and Scott Linehan at Louisville, Randy Walker and Kevin Wilson at Northwestern, Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Joe Tiller and Jim Chaney at Purdue, and Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia, all of whom ran some version of the spread offense.

"Jim, to me, was ahead of his time a bit with that spread offense," says Greg Olson, who was Purdue's quarterbacks coach from 1997-2000 and hired Chaney when Olson was the Rams' offensive coordinator. "I think the year after I left (for the NFL), Urban Meyer came down to Purdue and learned from Jim. A number of coaches came down and spent a lot of time with Jim to learn it and then they added their own little wrinkles to it."

Jim Chaney's the man!

"Those pass-happy days at Purdue, when the Boilermakers led the nation in total offense six times in Chaney's nine seasons, are a thing of the past."

He is an Offensive Jedi.

"In addition to being offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator (where he helped Purdue land top-10 classes each of the five years he held the title), he was Purdue's levity coach."

And he is a Recruiting Wizard

Even more excited about Chaney

He has a great offensive mind and he knows how to move the ball down the field regardless of style.

And he is not even going to be calling the plays at UT. Does anyone else find that amazing? If CLK thinks that is the best way to go, then I trust him, but I think it seems strange for a guy with this kind of knowledge not to be calling the plays. If CLK feels more comfortable calling the plays himself rather than Chaney, then Kiffin must really be good. Because Chaney has one heck of a resume.

Kiffin was calling the plays to one of the most successful offenses in NCAA history

I don't think the top 10 recruiting classes were in the country.

so kiffin should be seen as less important to usc's success because of all of the great talent that they had...which he just happened to have recruited?

Why dont we just recruit players like them so we can have this whole discussion again? We have taken a step forward with getting BBrown!

I think I would probably do the same thing if I were in Kiffins shoes. Although Cheney is obviously a more seasoned OC with a proven track record, he has only proven himself in the college ranks running a spread. Hopefully CLK will be willing to listen to Cheney's ideas. Also don't forget what happened to CPF last year by not knowing his OC and turning it over to someone who youv'e never worked with before. Maybe he'll eventually turn things over to Cheney .

No. I'm just saying that the level of talent played a large part in the success of that offense.

Basically, we shouldn't go around bragging about Kiffin being the OC that season when everybody knows that he wasn't the primary reason for their level of production.

Our boy Lane was the one who got all of that talent too. He was there from the beginning! Lane had number 1 recruiting classes everytime he was the recruiting coordinator at USCheavy.

Lane is no slouch

I wasn't questioning his recruiting ability. I think he will do fine calling plays here. I was simply stating that USC's 2005 offense was not a result of Kiffin's play-calling.

Let's get back on topic though. Jim Chaney said this about his offense at Purdue and Kiffin's current offensive scheme:

"You change as you go through this profession. We could never get over that hump at Purdue running that style of offense. You can win seven or eight games. I think it's a great equalizer, some of the spread offense. But to achieve maximum goals, personally I don't believe philosophically it's the way to go. I think a more balanced, pro-style offense is the way to go. After living through it the last three years (in St. Louis), I feel comfortable that way. That was one of the things when I came down to visit with Coach about (becoming UT's coordinator) was to make sure we're on the same page philosophically. And we've been very, very cohesive that way."

Yeah, or sign with UT. But to your other point...Leinart, Bush, White and Jarrett haven't exactly been tearing it up yet in the NFL.
