Coaching Notes:

 

[leftybuff]

Too many vowels, don't want the triple.

 

[onealcd]

He would be a good hire, just has to adapt his system to more of a spread option.

 

[Jeric]

Waiting for the "I didn't come to Colorado to run the triple-option." tweet from Montez.

 

[SuperiorBuff]

Nope

 

[InTheBuff]

no thanks

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

He would be a good hire, just has to adapt his system to more of a spread option.

Not interested in the experiment at CU right now, but agree.

I could get on board with Niumatalolohumuhumunukunukuapua’a

 

[ahoelsken]

Hell no. He'd have been perfect at KU, but we don't stink to the point where we have to do something this different.

 

[The Ogre]

Going to quite a few Navy games in the last few years, I invested at least two learning how to pronounce his name. I like his style, but don’t know that he and his system would be a fit. HE-a-lot-of-No-go in Boulder, I fear.

 

[TimmyDUBs]

Hawaii from 1990-94. Is that the Bob Wagner tree? Those were the glory days.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Really like the man, but NO Thanks with who we are now and what conference we are in. He would be a good fit in a place like Rutgers where a unique system might work in the Big 10

I don't think he likes it when people abbreviate his name. Just sayin'.

 

[CUBuff98]

No.

 

[FlaBuff]

Since the NCAA changed blocking rules Navy in particular has struggled to adjust. The time for triple option in Boulder has past. the ceiling is too low considering the speed on P-5 defenses.

 

[vinniew_11]

I don’t think you go full blown triple option. Probably a pure RPO system

 

[slider]

Pass.

I mean run
