Why do you think that Stoops himself went away from the Air Raid after Mangino left? I mean they had just won a national championship with it, and they have not won one since (not that offense has been necessarily the problem).

I have always wondered why they didn’t elevate another internal guy or hire a former Leach or Mumme assitant.

I don’t know if any of that criticism applies to Percy. I don’t know anything about how good or bad his technique is. But the stuff above is what you usually heard applied to speed guys and Percy definitely has the speed that might cause some to put him in the speed guys category.

Thanks for the great breakdown of this with the Vikes and your other X’s and O’s work. Reading your Percy article brought a question to mind: What is the “nut-and-bolts” critique of receivers coming out of Meyer’s offense. We’ve heard the pundits say his receivers will struggle in the NFL. Why? A post, dig, curl route, etc, are the same in college as in the NFL. In addition, receivers, as in some other offenses have options as to which route to run based on coverage. This can only help, right? I guess I’m missing something here.

No, I didn’t want to pry or anything ,especially if you already say you’re getting a job. Congrats. I just find it incredible that you could post as much around the pigskin blogosphere and still hold down the fort. Thanks.

“1L finds summer employment via message board.” Sounds like a future Career Services joke at orientation.

I understand you practice law. So do I. I would imagine that if you are getting into practice as a litigator, you’ll be spending more time writing briefs, depo summaries, and outlines of various nature. Not to mention the ever important billable time entry. Ugh! Anyway, I appreciate the good, insightful work you do here. Hope you find some time to keep writing on football. I very much appreciate your analytical view of the game, and the insightful discussion it generates.

Anyway, no, this is not my job. I’ve had the opportunity to work a post this past year that afforded me a lot of time to write. I will make an announcement on the site, but I start a new job Nov 2 that might (severely) restrict my writing time. If you’re determined to know more email me.

Chris, do you make a living off of this? The sheer volume of work overwhelms any rational comprehension of mine as to how you could run the blog, guest spot on so many other (genuinely respectable) sites, and still hold down a 9-5 or whatever. From Thursday night through Monday night, I can’t even get myself to open my Differential Equations book, let alone actually do work or study…

Anyhow…
