Jim Chaney

[utvolpj]

I was actually surprised when Cheney was brought here as his style of play was so different than what Lane knows....Do you think they may be teaching the players TWO different play books depending on what team they face?....Just an interesting thought and it certainly would catch teams off guard.

our guys had a difficult time (some might say impossible) grasping one playbook last year and now we want to throw 2 at them? I would rather they cut it in half

Well, I think Chaney and Co. will do a better job of implying the playbook than, Clawson did. Clawson pretty much gave them the playbook, and threw them out on the field a week later. (maybe a little exageration). But trust what are coaches are doing.

Lane has said on this topic that one reason he chose Chaney was that he brought a different eye to the offense and Kiff felt they would be able to merge those thought processes nicely...

No. In fact that sounds like one of the worst ideas I have ever heard.

oh...well i think you may be wrong little friend...actually every coach on staff and dave clawson and CPF and Majors adn the ghost of Neyland is requiring that every player, whether offense or defense learn their offensive playbook. this way we will have a new playbook for every team we play.

actually, youre right, this is the worst idea i have ever heard.

Lane learned the greatest thing about college football from Pete Carroll. If you consistently recruit in the top 5 every year, and get good character guys who will qualify and stay eligible academic-wise, you will be one of the top 5 teams year in and year out. This game is much more about recruiting on the college level.

You were spot on with this quote Sab. I couldn't agree more. Fulmer won when he was recruiting good talent and if he can do it I guarantee Kiffin can. Not knocking Fulmer, but it is no secret he was not a huge disciplinarian and was really not known to be a master at developing talent. He was a good recruiter, and this is why he was successful. When the recruiting started to fade, so did his winning percentage. He also had good coaches, which helped him out a lot, but Kiffin has surrounded himself with great coaches as well. Bottom line, if you can recruit top 5 every year, then you will probably be one of the top 5 teams every year.

I agree with tennisguy 100%. We were great becuase of our recruits and because of Chavis and Cutcliffe. Without those guys then we are sunk. With a talent drop there is a drop in our winning percentage. Fuller could not do it on his coaching abilities alone.

I think that CLK allows CJC to have a large amount of input into the game plan. And, I wouldn't be surprised if CJC is in the box all game long communicating with CLK about plays and what the defense is showing. I get the feeling that this coaching staff works as a committee and that group input is highly regarded. In other words I can hear CLK saaying to CJC, "What do you think Jim? What are you seeing?"...I think that ultimately the play calls come down to CLK, but all of these guys have a ton of input into what hits the field on Saturdays.

Hope that's the way it happens

Technically speaking, running from different base formations constitutes using a different playbook. Running an ace set is dramatically different than an I-formation; the terminology is the same, but by and large the overall theory is different.

And to get back on topic, it is extremely difficult to imagine how little talent Chaney actually had at Purdue. They had some pretty good defensive players, but for the most part their entire offense was badly undersized. Guys like Tim Stratton, Dorian Bryant, Taylor Stubblefield, and Vinny Sutherland were record-setters, and I think I'm taller than all of them (and I'm not quite 6'0").

Easy bruh.

You and I both know that Reggie Bush is an outstanding player, but he is not a pure NFL RB. And I can't believe you just argued LenDale White's 15 touchdowns (3rd in the NFL) with "White doesn't even start."

I'm not sure why I'm arguing with you about this when it isn't even germane to the original argument.

He doesn't...most of his TDs consisted of him barrelling/falling/eating his way through one yard into the end zone.

Speaking of base sets, formations, etc - Are you ready to unveil that frankenstein's monster of an offense you have cooked up yet? I have been salivating for months now just waiting.
