Whenever you hear coach so and so is a genius or what not, consider this:
From the early 90's to 2017, a period of almost a quarter of a century, the spread offense terrorized college football and confounded a bunch of so called genius defensive coordinators. The party only came to end when Matt Cambell said: gee, "What if we just play with 3 safety's?."
And just like that the spread was dead. Turns out that when you take away the vertical passing game, the Air Raid is NOT more efficient for long drives involving many plays than a pro style offense.
It took close to 15 years for coaches to understand you can't have 3 linebackers on the field against a spread team.
It took another 10 to realize you need 3 deep safety's and adjust the run fits. a 3-26 inverted tampa 2 is the trick.
