There’s a great Southern saying I like to use from time to time to describe a problem that has many acceptable solutions: There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
Most of my family is from below the Mason-Dixon Line, so we say things like this quite often. I’ve never skinned a cat before, nor have I seen one skinned, but I know exactly what those words mean.
In college football, this philosophy has led to some great innovation. A few years before I was born, the West Coast offense emerged as an alternative to the I-formation and the “chuck it as far as they can run” Al Davis Raiders offense.
