I think the game is changing too. It’s about talent acquisition and program culture now. Can you get a good staff that can get players and get them to play hard all the time. Dabo for instance was not a great coach, but they play hard and bring in top tier talent. It’s so much about those things now, not “is your coach the best schemer in America”. Look at Coach O too. Or (sorry, and to a much, much lesser but still notable extent) Cristobal.

Obsession with scheme matters a little more in the NFL, but the basic principles of football will always be the same. Block, run, tackle, catch, be tough.
The heavy schemers in college football don’t do well.
Salk would like to see more energy and swagger from the football program, similar to the Seattle Seahawks teams of the early- and mid-2010s.
“I hope he turns UW into a Legion of Boom-style team where they’ve got an edge, attitude and fun factor that the Legion of Boom had,” Salk said. “That would be the biggest win possible, right?”

Talent and effort in the NFL have a lot more parity. Pete Carroll at USC said he wanted the best athletes to just go out and play bc he figured they were bigger and faster than 81% of the other guys.

Anything else is gravy
