I disagree. I'm not implying the offense would have remained a juggernaut, but there is no question, that Herm CHANGED the offensive philosophy. Let's also not forget that Herm, himself, IMPLIED the same thing. Don't you remember all the "offense will remain the same" bullshit he spouted went he first got here. Clearly it wasn't and one, Mr. Solari took the fall for HERM'S conservative and neutered approach, now look at Gailey's IDENTICAL APPROACH, same conservative, PREDICTABLE approach.
Don't confuse changing offensive philosophy with offensive player personel changing. Argueing about the effectiveness of the offense with the loss of Roaf and Shields, etc.. is an entirely different argument and one that I can see coming into the discussion, but I think you'll find it impossible to argue against what is being said, because I'm using HERM as the source that STATED, he DID NOT NEED TO CHANGE the OFFENSE.
