SIAP--Josh Kendall re: Bobo

[johnnohj]

Bobo is bringing the huddle back to South Carolina football.

"No huddle football is very, very effective. It stresses the defense. It allows you to sometimes get cheap yards, but to me football has fundamentally gone downhill because of going so fast." -- Mike Bobo

 

[hahnenkampf]

Which means he doesn’t have an offense that can be successful with no-huddle. He’d only have one after another three-and-outs, which would wear out the defense by halftime.

 

[gamecocks247]

It's almost like a Muschamp coached team can't have a consistent identity of offense. Which is apparent in his recruiting and hires.

 

[Gamecock Lifer]

Yes, I totally agree with what he said. The no huddle is a good way to throw a team off their game if you can run it well... but to run it well you need to HAVE GOOD FUNDAMENTALS FIRST! If you have a bunch of new player or guys not used to going fast or a new scheme to implement... (check to all of those) stay away from no huddle most of the time! Let’s figure out good solid fundamental offensive football and toss in some razzle dazzle once our boys show they can throw and catch on a reasonable level. Very sensible statement...

Did he mention anything about leather helmets?

 

[Cockish]

Phew, for a minute there I thought he was going to say he was going to run the Wish Bone offense.

 

[BobbyBReloaded1975]

Let me translate ... we don’t have the athletes or playmakers to run a no huddle offense so we are gonna do what we can with what we have

 

[fowl_mood]

Defensive coaches like the huddle because it slows the game down and protects the defense. These guys are taking us back to football the way they love it. Muschamp must be pushing this.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

[DeepfriedCock]

It's gonna be a long year. I haven't felt this low before a season since 97 or 98. If we win 5 games it'll be Muschamp best coaching ever.

 

[Flameout12]

Uh....I'd have both huddle and no huddle and whatever falls in between.

We went 4-8.....we need lots of help.

 

[uscgrad1991]

Maybe we can run the veer offense.

[BobbyFoosball]

At least it will give our defense a little more time to rest between 3 and outs.

 

[Lurker123]

It's never a good sign when all your opponents are cheering your decision and encouraging you to keep going.


Similar to any Muschamp extension.

Wing T I think. who needs face masks ??

[section2cock]

Going huddle is contrarian. No huddle is status quo these days. Sorry if that offends you status quo folk !

 

[vacock#]

If you want something new (because we know that all new things are better), let’s have two huddles at the same time.

[Horseshoe 04]

Connor Shaw knew when to huddle

 

[paladin181]

I think no huddle has its place. Good for pressing an advantage. Good if you're clicking and the defense is confused. Otherwise, it just speeds up play and fast, bad play is not good. The huddle gives the offense (and defense, unfortunately) a chance to settle down and evaluate how they're doing as well as to refocus their minds. There's a reason teams huddle before plays. When you get in a rush, you get sloppy. Sometimes, in a well-oiled machine, you can afford a few mistakes. When you're fundamentally unsound as we are, perhaps this is the better approach.

The better question is: Why are we fundamentally unsound on offense, Coach Muschamp? Could it be that as a defensive coordinator and defensive guy that you have ZERO clue what offensive fundamentals look like?

I wonder if they're going to split the team up between the two "head coaches" kind of like Spurrier did with Johnson here early. Bobo could be completely in charge of the offensive development and training instead of those being more team exercises.

Huh?????

This is probably the staff's thinking too. Playing football is a chess match at times. Unfortunately, for the past 2 years we've been playing checkers.

 

[Ldgator]

Exactly the philosophy Champ had at UF. Always protecting the defense first. Problem was his offenses rarely ran as many plays as his opponent. Some games it was astonishing the difference.

And qB is our position with most depth.

 

[OldFlaCock]

Hell yes we do,......if he gets a chance to play!!😎

 

[Flameout12]

Yep...only huddle when you need to.
Who needs a huddle?....they all look to the sidelines and get a signal. Getting to the line early gives the QB more time to look things over and make adjustments if needed.

 

[jeff2001]

Good God do yall complain about everything? Some would argue with a stop sign . Just score.

 

[muscleknight]

Maybe this is a ruse? Let it leak out that we will huddle and then first game play fast?

 

[hahnenkampf]

Huh?????

In successive three and outs, your defense has to be on the field for more time and gradually wears down if their offense can move the ball.

 

[uscnoklahoma2]

We do but our brilliant coaches think he's best utilized on special teams lol

 

[tngamecock#]

I find you people dogging the huddle comical. The pros huddle most of the time. The no huddle doesn’t do crap or wear out a defense unless you get first downs. Let’s start with getting those then we can worry about our no huddle.

 

[BobbyBReloaded1975]

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Bobo but let’s be honest at UGA he had guys like AJ Green , Todd Gurley , Keith Marshall , Nick Chubb , Sony Michel , Mecole Hardman , Aaron Murray , etc etc . All I’m saying is he had some insane talent across the board and also one of the best OL’s in college football . VERY different situation he stepped into here . We don’t have a single offensive player that would make 3rd team All SEC now . Honestly I think this is the least talented offensive group we have had in a long time . Not saying there aren’t some potential breakout players but I will be shocked if this years offensive production is much better than last year .

"No huddle football is very, very effective. It stresses the defense. It allows you to sometimes get cheap yards, but to me football has fundamentally gone downhill because of going so fast." -- Mike Bobo

For the life of me I don't know why Bobo would make such a statement. Football is situational. Sometimes the no-huddle needs to be employed. You make sure that your QB can operate in both situations. The transition by the QB/Offense between huddle and no-huddle should be seamless in a well-coached team. Bringing in another QB to run the no-huddle is a dead giveaway.

I see WM's hand in this. He wants to run a ball-control O. If I am to guess WM had his usual input here. I am also uncertain how successful Bobo can be? He did not shine at Colorado State and that was in the Mid-West. With the situation here, being unlike Georgia and with WM as the HC, Bobo has his work cut out for him.

Wanna bet

Wanna bet

who besides Doty and he probably won't see any QB action

He's not saying they will never run it. He's saying their base offense will not run without a huddle. No huddle offense has been a thing for long before it was called the no huddle style.
