"I think there are certain teams that stylistically are hard for other teams to match with and deal with," Prince said. "We'd like to be one of those teams. We didn't prove that last week for sure, but you have to have your own style.
"You have to have a very unique way that you play. Then you can go find out on the free market players whose talents match that, whose personalities match what you're trying to do."

Let's just throw away style as our constant...
Just get the best players you can and match the style to their talents. Square peg, round hole. Simple.
That's kind of why I posted it...
We haven’t really found a ‘style’. The defense has had two different schemes in the last three years (Cover 2, 3-4), and the offense is…well, pro-style, but I’m not sure exactly what makes it unique.

Last few games...
…the defense as been running some sort of four-man front. Sometimes it looks like a true 4-3, other times it looks like a 4-2-5.

Maybe it's easier to confuse the opposition...
if we don’t know what the hell we’re doing….then again, maybe it’s not.
Well, the intent of running the 3-4 base...
Is that you can run all sorts of different formations from it. The OLB’s can usually line up on the edge and rush like DB’s, etc.
However, i think the reason it’s not working here is because the variety is too much. Just keep it simple stupid. Patterson had had a great deal of success down in Ft. Worth runing the 4-2-5. Just work out of a simple base and run nickle and dime packages out of it when you face pass happy teams and 3rd-and-long situations.
These are college kids. I agree with MadCat; don’t think too much. Just get the best players you can, make sure they know how to do their simple jobs, and make less mistakes than the other guy.

One major reason...
…that Callahan failed at Nebraska was because he treated it like it was the NFL. It’s not. With the 20-hour weekly practice cap and the fact that the kids have classes, too, there’s no way you can learn and properly execute an offensive or defensive scheme as complicated as what Callahan tried to implement. His freakin’ playbook was thicker than two of my textbooks.
