I nominate Mike Leach from Texas Tech. I'd like to see the spread offense tried at a school that gets top quality recruits.

Urban Meyer has been experimenting with it at Florida. He gets roundly castigated for it by Florida fans who insist that SEC defenses are too fast and athletic for "gimmicky" spread offense plays to work.

A Gator fan here.

The problem with the spread is, it is very good when you don't have talent. Florida has some talent but tend to waste plays and never gets into the flow of the game with the Spread.

Sorry, I would not suggest the Spread for 'Bama.
It works for Hawaii, Bo. St and Texas Tech, but sucks for the SEC.

I agree, this isn't the WAC, and I hope Meyer has learned that by now. Leak has done pretty good, but this isn't the kind of offense he excels in. Tebow should be more productive with Urban's offensive style.

What Urban needs to do, is to upgrade our offensive line, with FSU and Miami slipping, UF should clean up in recruiting. And oh, getting a kicker would also be nice.
