I understand the last two posters posts. But that not what his scheme is about. And most spread offense is high tempo. TOP is not important to them. I know the main reason you complain about it is,y'all like me, like a Pro Style offense. But I just don't complain about it. Because it work for a lot of teams all over the country.And I wish he run more too. But after watching the game again. We couldn't run the ball inside. Deleware owned the LOS inside. All our longer runs 8 or more yards while the starters were in. We're on sweeps to the outside. So apparently Delewares weakness on the edge. And the fasted way to get to the outside is to throw it to the outside as quick as possible. And I'm sure y'all know you can get the ball to point A to point B by throwing it. And Seahawk. I also as of now also wonder if we have the right coach to win a Naty also. Has done to many boneheaded things in the past. Like yesterday. At the end of the first half. Only up 6. Why he didn't use his 3 TOs to at least try to save some time. To hopefully get the ball back.With around a minute left to score. That type stuff bothers me. Not saying we would. But it possibly could have cost us points in a tuff game. And it's not the first time he has done that either.
But TOP IS a key indicator of success....just b/c you don't value it doesn't make it less important. It means said coach is simply unwilling to be cognizant.
Man TOP is not the biggest indicator. Look at Oregon, Texas Tech,Baylor, A&M, TCU ect ect. Execution and TOers is the most important. Now don't get me wrong I wish if we had a lead of at least two scores we could melt the clock. But it is what it is. I'm a Pro Style offensive guy. And would love to take 6-7 mins off the clock on every scoring drive. But that's not what Feds type offense is about. That's all I'm trying to say. But it doesn't mean you have to call the coach a moron or idiot because his style of football aggravates the hell out of you. If some of the boneheaded stuff he does now and then is what you are complaining about. And I will call him out. I even call Roy out after thing I think he did wrong during a loss or poor showing. He got to this point as a HC at UNC. Because his offense has done well and and won everywhere before getting here. Either as a OC or HC at Southern Miss. But it's good to be pissed and voice your opinion. Even though we might not agree on some things. But it shows that you do care. But to complain about what you seem to be complanning about. To me seems more about style of play. Which believe me I have complained about. Just go back to the USUCK threads. You will be hearing me and a lot others saying the same thing. RUN THE FREAKIN BALL. But that just not his Style. GO HEELS!!!!!
Make no mistake, it's the bonehead game mgmt that gets me so steamed at Fed....win or lose...bad game mgmt is bad regardless of whether you get away w/ it. That's one thing that has to change in our support structure. Fans have to hold coaches accountable for bad decisions, even if, as I said, you get away w/ it and escape the loss. PART of Fed's bad mgmt. is the enslavement to his system. Plenty of spread coaches know how to exploit a found weakness in an opponent found within the game. Not Fed; he is going to find "balance" and stay w/ his "scripted plan", evidence be damned. We are at the mercy of his gameplan turning out to be correct; adjustments are out of the question. His system itself isn't the problem; it's the blind religiosity w/ which he holds it.
TOP isn't the main issue or path to success; it is a KEY issue in games among relatively evenly matched opponents.

Now that I can agree with my man!!!!!! His game plan this week to me was almost spot on. Delewares weakness seemed to be outside. So they ran a lot of sweeps and passes into the flat. I still think some of the problem is the OC. I know the coach can override and tell the OC what he wants done or what he thinks needs to change to make the offense run better. To me this offense hasn't been the same since Anderson left. But Fed does need to start taking more control over his offense. I don't think that Fed and Litrell are on the same page so to speak. As he was with Anderson. So that way he can just worry about the in game stuff as far as calling a TO at the right time. Or going for it when needed. The in game stuff. Just to be able to every now and then mention to the OC we need to run the ball now. Probally didn't have to worry about that when Anderson was here. They were probally on the same page. If Litrell doesn't get more on the same mind set that Fed is on. Feds in game decisions will suffer. He is to involved during a game and overthinks it. Because of that is why his in game stuff suffers. I may end up being wrong. But you need to be able to trust that your coordinators understand what you want and execute it the way you want. I think if this offense continues to be inconsistent still in Litrells second season. He will be gone next year. It's not easy for some people to be able to be in charge and also have to call plays during a game. There are a few coaches that can do it. Like a Chip Kelly. That is why right coordinators are so important. Let your coaches coach and you just sit back and watch and fine tune what needs to be done.
Its simple....redzone = Hood.....why is this such a problem...sure they key on Hood but they are just gonna have to stop him...Its your O line and your tailback....Fedora doesnt understand smashmouth football
Not really. Oregon made the playoffs last year with one of the worst TOP margins in the nation.
LOL! Love ya, Nation, Tar Heel brother, but you're giving me the OUTLIER to prove TOP isn't important???? Marcus Mariotta and all that offensive firepower? TOP is a crucial stat for any team TRYING TO BE really good....a few, like an Oregon you mentioned, can be really exceptional without good TOP stats, if they have elite talent. UNC doesn't have elite talent; heck, look what's happening to Oregon NOW that they don't have it!
Granted, Oregon is better than us, but I didn't think it was an outlandish example to use. Simply because Oregon's system was established by Chip Kelly, the man Fedora models his offense after. So Oregon is what we aspire to be, thus the comparison is valid IMO.
Once we ARE what they were under Kelly and with Mariotta, I'll buy into the idea that TOP isn't that critical. While we still ASPIRE to be them, forgive me, I'll err on the side that believes HAVING THE BALL more than your opponent is a really good indicator that your chances to win the game will improve significantly. Think about it, if we score pretty quickly, and play good D and 3 and out people or hold them to just one first down in a drive, we'll still at least equal their TOP.
We have to get better on third down stops for sure. Our defense has improved dramatically, no question, but we're still giving up too many 3rd down conversions.
