Well, apparently this is going to take some work. Michigan and Michigan State diligently spent the offseason redecorating their offenses, installing all sorts of wrinkles such as “more quarterbacks” and “optional blocking,” and the early results are, ahem, mixed.
Jim Harbaugh locked his new coordinator Josh Gattis in a room and when he returned, the whiteboard looked like a complex finger painting, with bright-colored splotches smeared in random places. Dozens of empty Red Bull cans were piled in a corner.
Mark Dantonio locked his new coordinator Brad Salem in a room and when he returned, a couple stick figures with illegible thought bubbles were scrawled on the whiteboard, and the floor was littered with paper airplanes and chewed pencils.
