We all talked about Callahan's offense being to complex. Now we are saying the same about Bo's. I see true freshman and 2nd year players on other teams getting quality snaps and we can't get a guy who has been in the system 3-5 years to understand Bo's system.
I think "why can't we do that? Is our system to complicated for these kids? Is this the same of Callahan? We are in big trouble because if that is the case, as we know how that turned out!"
Then I think, that if that is the case how could have Bo have come in here in 2003 and turned things around so quickly. And then again when he got here in 2008?
Now I know what the knee jerk reaction is "we don't have the talent now that we did when Bo showed up here at those times". I'll be honest, I love football as much as the next American male, but I can't sit here and tell you that we do or do not have as good of talent now as we have had in the past. They all look like stud players to me.
My thought is that maybe Bo came in both times and realized that he did not have guys in the system for years before. To compensate for 2-4 years of coaching in their system, he "dumbed" his system down. I don't mean he dumbed it down because his played were dumb, but he faced facts and realized that he he could not train guys in 1 year what he would usually take 2-4 years to learn.
Now he has finally been here long enough to teach his guys all of his system not just the "dumbed down version" I hate that phrase so maybe a better way of putting it would be the "short term version" of his defense.
Do any of you with knowledge know if that may be the case, and if so, why not go back to the new guy version. Obviously it appears that he has done better when he has been here for the short term, and "appears" to have not been efficient when he has been here for 4-5 years.
Just has been rattling around in brain for a few days so somebody tell me if I nuts or not. It's ok if you tell me I am nuts, I'm used to it.
