Um...no. Not at all. Thanks for playing.
Have you even seen that formation? It is as bunched up as it gets. I am a fan of his but I don't see him leaving Tech at all.
West Virginia ran all over your ass out of the spread...Yeah as I said many people miss understand....Johnson even calls it the spread. It is basically a four receiver set with one back in the backfield...its a fucking spread offense...just because the slot receivers are moved in, that makes it not a spread? its still a spread
http://huskersforpauljohnson.blogspot.com/2007/10/understanding-paul-johnsons-offense.htmlIt starts with the name: triple option. Some have called it the "flexbone." Quarterback Lamar Owens said the team calls it "the spread." Just don't call it the wishbone. Reporters and other coaches often have made that mistake.
"And that drives Coach crazy," Navy athletics spokesman Scott Strasemeier said. "It's nowhere close to what the wishbone is."
That's because the wishbone has three backs in the backfield; the triple option has one, with a slotback (or "A-back") lined up next to and behind the tackle on each side of the five-man offensive line.
After the quarterback gets the ball on the snap, he has three basic options in one direction or another: (1) keep it, (2) give it to the fullback or (3) flick it to a slot back.
On any play, any of those players could get the ball, forcing the opposing defense to stick to those four players at all times (the QB, fullback and two slotbacks), plus the single receivers lined up wide on each side.
On paper, the triple option's formation resembles a spread-out run-and-shoot passing offense. With the right personnel – a strong-armed quarterback and fast receivers – Navy could run that offense out of it and pass for a "zillion yards," Johnson said.
...yeah he's not leaving Tech anyway
