For most teams that use the boards to call their plays, each offense play is also given a category.  For example inside zone might be movies and counter might be rappers.  When they call the play at the line of scrimmage then they just use something that fits into those categories.  They also have to determine if they are going to run the play to the left or right.  Just using the few examples you have already and assuming that they're talking about the movies and not the actual comic book characters.  Perhaps a movie that has THE at the beginning is a play to the right (The Wolverine) and a movie that does not goes to the left (Puss in Boots).  They may be doing something different but this is how I learned it.

Danielson on Malzahn's offense, "He basically invented it himself."
Lundquist, "Well he read a book called The Delaware Winged T and it's basically the same thing."

I am just looking forward to the 3 out of 4 eleven win seasons in 2014, 2015, and 2017 - since you are convinced Hoke is on a superior coaching arc than Dantonio ;) well in that case it should be 3 out of 4 twelve win seasons.

As for Pinkel, I think if you moved UM to the SEC it would have some trouble, considering we finished 8th this year in a lousy conference.   And Pinkel has seasons of 12-2, 10-4, 10-3 in the past 6 years.   So there is a track record there outside of 1 year.  And as always Michigan has access to far better players than Misouri based on brand and recruiting classes.
