It'll be an Alvarez disciple. They've tried throwing the ball and looks like they'll be giving up on it.
 
I hear Brian Ferentz is looking…

Can't help but feel like Fickell angered the football gods, akin to Rich Rod at Michigan and Bill Callahan at Nebraska. Power running with a beefy OL and a strong 3-4 defense was Wisconsin's identity for much of the last 20+ years. God help Iowa should they try to run a spread offense...

Here's the deal from what we've seen lately. We'll use the four you mentioned. Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska and Iowa (and you could throw in several others that are very similar.) Yes, they can have success going with what you described and have proven it over and over. My question is, "Can they win IT ALL" as opposed to 9-10 games without an effective passing game? Or only considering it a necessary evil?

And we'll turn it around. Can air it out team win IT ALL without an effective running game? Leach's crews were successful to a degree, but never really challenged for IT ALL either.

Nowadays it seems teams can be fairly successful with one but not "ultimately" successful with only one.

Same for the other side of the ball. Better be able to keep from getting run over or thrown over.

Being able to adapt properly is why I think Saban was so successful. (Along with getting a disproportionate amount of the best talent." He never gave up on his core values but he was willing to change his thinking in order to continue success. He changed from pure run stopping LBs to some that could tackle in space better and defend the pass better. And he still expected his QBs to be "game managers" but he let the leash out considerably on them. Les Miles was the opposite...not willing to adapt. Or at least it looked that way.
