The defenses (most of them) today are recruiting athletes that are undersized and fast as hell. Most of the defensive coaching is now focused stopping west coast and spread offenses. It’s reasonable (though no gaurantee) that the triple option offense will be very difficult for these undersized defenses to stop. Also, it’s not just because the defenses are undersized that I think that the triple option would be a good offense, but also because most defenses today rarely see a triple option offense.

Sort of the exact opposite situation from just a decade ago, when the defenses were unfamiliar with the spread offense, and did not have the athletes to match up. Now the players are very familiar with the spread offense, and have recruited players with the intentions of matching up with it. A well coached triple option offense could have their way with many of those defenses. Hell, floridas defense had a hard time with Mississippi’s basic smash mouth football.

In regards to recruiting, I think it would be a good thing for auburn considering that our main recruiting states are Alabama and Georgia. The high school program in those two states are mainly smash mouth football program, with an exception of a few schools.

That being said, I would prefer that we get muschamp as hc, and my second choice is Johnson.
