The only thing that made our defense good this year is that we had so much talent on the front four that you could run a Tampa 2 and just let Ray, Golden, and Brantley win their matchups.
That Auburn game broke something in me. I spent a lot of time afterwards looking at schemes to use against the read option. It reinforced a long-existing belief: most football coaches are dumbassed meatheads.

Its not limited to football coaches. I think a lot of coaches overall fall into the trap of thinking "That's too simple to work" so they always overcomplicate things regardless of how simple the solution might have been.
