Ga. Southern of course upset Florida Saturday by completing no passes and rushing for 427 yards against an SEC defense (although beat up). Today on ESPN they were talking about how respected Ga. Southern is and how long they've been running this offense. There is a story of Saban a few years back being told that the AD was thinking about scheduling Ga. Southern as a future FCS game and Saban saying there is no way they are playing Ga. Southern. How would we feel if we hired for instance the Ga. Southern coach or the Navy coach, etc. and they brought this system to Wake?
To me here are the key questions:
Would we like watching that offense week after week? My opinion, if it makes us more successful yes.
Would we be patient enough to give the new coach time to recruit to that system? Hard to answer without knowing if it would be successful.
Would we be okay with the limitations of that offense, when it comes to possibly winning conference titles with it and the fact that if you get behind by much you're screwed? I'm undecided on this.
Since Ga. Tech already does this, is there enough room in the ACC for another team running that offense? Personally this doesn't concern me as much since as the conference grows the teams that would play us and Tech in the same season shrinks.
I just think it is an interesting question and one that has been discussed before I know, but humor me on a Monday morning.
