Can Mountain Football improve by modernizing offense?

Then mold what you do to what they can do and coach them up in that system. It is not college where you can recruit players to your system (I.E. Georgia Tech). Like I said earlier, it is a waste of time trying to do things you are not capable of on offense because it puts your defense in a bad situation. Football has three elements that must work equally together for you to be successful. Knox had great success because they have great players. What happens when their skill is not what it was this year? There are a lot of strategic ways to win games with less talent. Over extending your self ability wise is not one of them. You talk about winning championships, you win championships by mastering your craft offensivly and defensivly. Don't let special teams beat you. All offensive sytems work when you have players. And the type of offense you run does not really dictate how well you stop other people. How good your defensive players and how hard your defensive coach works at stopping them determines that in my opinion.

This is all a matter of philosophy. If you believe in christianity you won't go to a muslim church. If you beleive in the option don't try to be a 5 wide guy. Teach and coach what you know.
I appreciate and disagree with your perspective. "You can't teach on old dog new tricks" is the wrong way to look at this. Mountain coaches are very capable of learning and implementing better offensive schemes that will allow us to compete at the highest level. Its simply a matter of trading up.

And to your point around "all offenses work if you have the people" - that is my point. We don't have the people to just run over defenses any more. Teams have figured out that they can stack the box and leave one safety deep to defend what little deep threat most of our teams represent. All offenses are simply not equal. Consider what the Jet sweep has done to defenses. Getting the ball into the hands of a speedster who at handoff is already at full speed forces defenses to have a wide net or be ousted for slow corners.

Every time we run the dive up the gut with 8 or 9 in the box we miss an opportunity to be better. Simple as that.
