That “smash mouth” ball control style of football is no longer palatable to recruits and spectators. Stanford’s stadium was half full for the home opener vs NW and USC showed last night how badly Shaw has fallen off in recruiting,
Costello being out hurts but that style of ball is supposed to let you plug and play at QB because you are not pitching it all over the field.
SC hired Graham Harrell as OC the old Texas Tech QB and another long line of “Air Raid” disciples that started when Hal Mumme and Tim Couch were throwing the ball 60 times a game at UK in the late 90s. Since that time?
Mike Leach
Dana Holgerson
Kliff Kingsbury
Lincoln Reily
Josh Huepel
Graham Harrell
I hope Brian Kelly stays at ND forever. But when ND hires its next coach it should be an Air Raid guy! Lincoln Reily and now Graham Harrell are the first guys to run that wide open and SIMPLE offense at schools that can get big time recruits. And the results are coming in.
Other than service academies? Smash Mouth is DEAD
