Is a legend in his own mind. He views no coach as his equal even though he hasn't done squat as a head football coach. He relies on weak minded people that can't see through his aggrogant act and actually believe his opinion of himself. Congrats for falling into that category.

"...they basically say oh it's a system, suggesting that people who don't do it that way, who just run it up the middle, stick all your asses together so one hand grenade can kill everybody, that's the right way to do it."

who in the SEC is doing anything other than coupling 3 yards and a cloud of dust with average QB play? Certainly Auburn and A&M but a whole mess of other SEC teams are just boring fart offenses. LSU, Arkansas, Debordian Tennessee, Florida, and yes, even Bama. Bama's offense would look a lot blander if you replaced their 2-deep of top 100 players with a lot of other top 25 rosters

Which is what makes Harbaugh's offense great. Our problem under Carr was we had one of those boring fart offenses. It worked fine enough until we played someone with equal or better talent and then we frequently lost to teams like Notre Dame, USC, OSU, and Texas. Also we were outschemed a lot by teams like Northwestern, Oregon, and Syracuse.

did some things that we haven't really done since that I do miss. I agree with you on the whole, but one thing I always appreciated about Carr was his willingness to abandon scheme and take what the defense was giving him. I do miss Carr's WR screens and hitches. If teams were selling out against the run, he would gladly just get those 5 yards on first down with a quick hit on the outside. We have not utilized that concept through 3 coaches since him, and that was truly a Michigan "staple" by the time he left. It could be a really good addition to the end around to nuetralize the effects of an inexperienced offensive line the next couple of years.

were some of the most sophisticated in memory. There is a reason that every QB that went through his system signed an NFL contract. The worst QB under him was probably John Navarre and Michigan averaged 35 points a game with him at QB.

The problem with Carr was he was too converative and wouldn't allow his OCs to open the whole playbook, that is why you typically saw sideline outs, and bubble screens, the middle of the field was off limits until we were trailing and had to use it. It would literally drive Terry Malone nuts that he was shackled as an OC.

offense under Lane Kiffin is the offense has evolved from smashmouth offense into WCO offense which then turned into RPO offense. Bama offense runs a similar scheme as Urban Meyer offense and does a lot of RPO plays to highlight Jalen Hurts strength as a QB.

As much as I love a rant against the SEC, Leach is garbage. There was a time where I thought he was amusing and entertaining, but now I just see a grumpy bitch.

I mean why would you assume a generic post about a college coach without reference to any of his specific faculties would be about his coaching acumen? He was OBVIOUSLY referring to Leach's garbage cooking skills, everyone knows Leach can't cook for shit.

Coming from someone who's actually won something in his life.

In 15 years, he's had 1 season with 10 or more wins. I know he's a supposed genius, but the guy just hasn't done shit. 

Gets a lot of faux praise for some unknown reason.

He took an average Texas Tech program and basically made them slightly above average with ONE very good season.

And coached up Washington State? The dude is 29-34 there. I get the program sucks, but on the biggest stages, especially this season, his team was blown out of the field.

National title contenders? Come on dude.
