I can't get past the comment earlier that most of these declarative comments are by people with minions as their avatar. Keeping it real.
yes i do. not near as many bubble screens. but he runs probably more formations than any other coach. pro style with a little spread mixed in. and hes found a way for these kids to pick it up pretty quickly. but you need a good qb for it to work. luckily he has a good track record of that. winston seems dumb as a box of rocks but certainly has football smarts and instincts. he coached christian ponder and ej manuel. all 3 in the league.
Memory is not serving me that well to many details of his time at LSU and I don't really watch FSU. Do his QBs throw with rhythm and timing? Do they execute effective screen passes?
People skeptical of Miles have been bludgeoned forever by the "who are you gonna get that's equal or better" argument. Though I'm doubtful that it would happen, snagging Jimbo would be a resounding answer to that question.
Yes. He's a big name and should keep a bunch of the recruits. I'm just not sold on his offense, like him just not excited about the O. He will need some strong recruiters and a good DC. If it's him I hope he brings in a strong staff.
FSU runs a pro-style offense, but Jimbo Fisher’s playbook is complex even by NFL standards. Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter spent plenty of time familiarizing himself with FSU’s playbook the last couple of months as his franchise committed itself to learning as much as it could about Jameis Winston. The Bucs eventually took Winston No. 1 overall, partially because the Bucs viewed Winston as the most pro-ready quarterback prospect in the 2015 NFL Draft. “Heck, Florida State was probably installing more stuff per day [this spring] than we do,"Koetter told reporters at the Bucs' rookie camp on Monday. "I’ve known about Jimbo Fisher and his style of offense for a long time, they truly do run an NFL-style system. They ask a lot of their guys, mentally. “Jameis is as well prepared as most any guy could be right now.” Lovie Smith said the night the Bucs drafted Winston. “You look at, Jimbo did a great job at Florida State, and we saw him in a lot of the same situations that you’ll see him in in the NFL. That was just a part of it.” Fisher’s offensive philosophy has often been described as complex; his quarterbacks are asked to make several reads and checks on passing plays, and receivers are required to know how to run a full route tree and usually have different options on what patterns to run based on what a defense does in coverage. The sophistication of this offense increased under Winston, who had the innate ability to quickly learn concepts and then properly apply them. Fisher has stellar success sending quarterbacks to the NFL; FSU’s past three starting quarterbacks (Winston, E.J. Manuel and Christian Ponder) have all been first-round draft picks, which has never been done before. Ponder has not lived up to his first-round billing and Manuel was benched last season, but Fisher’s offense has at least provided a comfort level among NFL coaches and executives during the evaluation process. That, in turn, has become a recruiting tool for Fisher. “I just don’t understand, if you go to a university and you want to major in business, you’re not going to take music classes,” Fisher said last month. “You have to take music but you don’t take a bunch. You take business classes. Or if you’re in music you take music classes and not a lot of business classes. Well, if you want to be an NFL player, play in an NFL system on offense, on defense and special teams. To me that only helps you become that.” Email Brendan at [email protected].
