Won a national championship at Auburn as part of a staff that ran a spread offense. I’ve been a part of an offense here and at other places where we were under center more and huddled. The method you take, I don’t think, is as important as having the right culture and then fitting your style to the skill set that you have and maximizing the players that you have.

We’ll definitely run the football. Anybody that knows me knows you can never hand it off to a good running back too many times. I believe in play-action. I think in college football nowadays, you have to have big plays. If you don’t have explosive plays, it’s very difficult to score enough points to win games. At the same time, I think I’ve learned enough about the passing game – over 25 years of working with a lot of really good offensive coaches and a lot of systems – that we’ll be able to balance that out for us.

We’re not going to try to be Georgia Tech or any other team that’s just going to run the football because I’m an O-line guy. We’ll have balance in run and pass in all situations regardless of what personnel is on the field, whether we huddled or didn’t huddle or whether we’re under center or in the (shotgun). I see us being a blend of all those things.
