I for one would like to know "why" people feel this way? I don't really want him either, my reasoning is because of preference. I prefer the spread, it's more user friendly, it's fun to watch. In college I played in a multiple O. It's basically meshing the two together, I actually think that this style is most fitting for Texas. Look it's not about running the same offense that Baylor runs, you don't do that just for the sake of recruiting. Yes Texas HS fb is basically an ath at qb and four wide, but these kids want to go to the pros, so if Texas is winning and scoring enough they will come. As I posted earlier just because an OC plays one style at one place does not mean that they don't understand the concepts of another style. Zone, power, G, lead, counter style blocking can be done from under center and gun/pistol formations. These blocking schemes are those that Watson used at Louisville. Another note on recruiting, look I guess I can understand the fear there, but he can say that I was the QB coach for Teddy Frickin Bridewater, you know the guy who is going to be drafted top 5, probably first in the NFL draft.
That said I would like Texas to go w someone else...I just would not flip if he came to Austin. Ultimately it's about trusting that your coach knows his plan and what he would like to execute on either side of the football.
