Hmm.
I hope they are allowed to forget it asap. I hate it.
Here’s what I want. A coach with the following philosophy: Offense. Our fatties are going to beat the ever loving sh-t out of you. Even when you know it’s coming, you are not going to be able to stop us, And just when you start to cheat up, we will beat you downfield with play action. Multiple sets. Sure. Misdirection, you betcha. But in the end we are going to consistently win at the LOS. We will recruit to it. Our recruits will get bigger and stronger (or they will sit). We will develop them.. And we will recruit running backs that punish defenses. QBs with downfield arms and mobility. WRs will need to be willing and able to block. So, guys with some size. Along with a couple little demons that create havoc out of the slot. TE’s. Lots of them. And a fullback or two that gets a charge from pancaking linebackers.
Defensively. Do all the cute things you want. Cause what we are going to do is beat the hell out of you at the LOS. Penetrate and hammer your RBs and pummel your QB. Over and over again. Tough, smart, relentless and MEAN front 7. With ballhawks in the backfield.
Simply put - I want intellectual brutality again. Emphasis on the latter. I don’t care about fancy schemes.

Completely agree, Lex.
I absolutely love North Dakota State's brand of football. They're everything that I'd like Stanford to be, and they do remind me of what Stanford used to be just a few years ago. They also have a great eye for and developing the right QB for their offense...including some kid named Ashton Daniels whom I would have taken over McKee in a second based on what I saw from each of them in HS.
