The good and the bad...
The good
The 3-4 is actually a much better D because after everyone learns everything is gives the DC many more options to attack the O.
The 3-4 will also confuse the QB more because we can just have guys look like they're standing around until the ball is snapped and by then it's too late many times for the QB to change much of what he called.
The bad
The 3-4 is very complex and it's very hard to teach and to learn so it will take a long while to get everything clicking well.
Problem 1 is that there simply aren't enough coaches that are really good, experienced teachers of all the intricacies of the 3-4.
Even the NFL has a hard time finding really good 3-4 teachers for every position.
The NFL is a full-time job with no school classrooms and grades to worry about but even in the NFL it many times takes 2 or 3 years to get a 3-4 D working well simply because there's so much to learn and remember.
NFL takes lots of Bama players simply because all of them already know lots about the 3-4 system.
The NFL can go out and hire 3-4 players through free agency to get better faster so it's much harder in college to get the right players at every position and then get them to learn so much in a shorter period of time.
College also must recruit exactly the right type of player for every position and the recruits must be very smart so they can learn faster.
CJP knows both the 3-4 and the 4-3 and he's WON a National Championship running both so I have no doubts that we'll see some 3-4 in certain situation this coming system.
He'll only be able to run as much as our players fit the right position molds and can learn the 3-4 as time goes along.
CJP said he'll run whatever is best to get more of our best players on the field so my guess is that we'll run mostly a 4-3 and variants of that but keep your eyes open because sometimes I think he'll swap players in that best know his 3-4 plays and will run some 3-4 just to keep the O more confused if, and a BIG IF, the players can learn enough fast enough to do it without may mistakes.
I think this total rebuild is going to be very interesting to watch happen and loads of fun to watch on gamedays.
VFL...GBO!!!
