So...What's the Catch?

[Snaggletiger]

I don't see where the changes Chizik is making has anything at all to do with Lord Saybinz or LSU or anyone.  First off, on defense, that change HAD to be made, period!!  They sucked bad..real bad.  But offensively, I imagine this style is more what Chizik would normally want to run; however, if you have a talent out there like Malzahn, who was proving he could put sick numbers up on the board, it's kind of crazy not to tak a shot with him.  With Gus gone, I think Chizik probably looked for the type coach he would have hired originally had Malzahn not been available.

It's really just more proof that the hammer is coming.

Curious. What type offense did he run at Iowa State....besides a not very good one?

I disagree with the last sentence.  I think he sought out someone who would bring immediate excitement and put up points.  JMO. 

It is a move away from "the spread" in a sense, but more a move away from the hurry up offense that doesn't take the defense in to account at all.   They may run, in fact they will run, many of the same plays, but they will instead huddle, run clock, and take fewer chances, and instead rely on running the ball, field position and defense.  The same thing could have been done with Malzahn's offense, but not with Malzahn running it.  It's not his philosophy.   He'd rather live and die doing it his way.  At least then he's in control of his fate and is the only one to blame if it fails. 

Loeffler has varied college and NFL experience, and he will give Chiz the offense, or moreover the offensive philosophy Chiz wants so that we can lean more on defense.  Chiz is more comfortable playing it that way.

I for one prefer the Cam Newton offense.  You know the one where I don't have to worry if we get down by points, cause I know we still will beat them.
