WOW.. I can't believe people are upset. I think this is great. I argued with a guy who complained we had the same ole thing every year. You wanted a wide open offense.. well we got it. It gives Henne shorter higher percentage passes, and forces the onus on the "playmakers" to break tackles and make plays.
I think this is great news and a major shift in philosophy.
classic case of "stat watching" over "watching the game". Average fan looked up the team offense rankings, saw Daboll was lower than Henning and assumes this is a downgrade. Me personally, I don't know what the stats will be this year, but I am confident we wont see the same boring old school offense and philosophies we saw under Dan Henning. Whether that translates to success on the field is another story . . . . but Dan Henning was literally killing the fanbase by himself with his boring offense.
