It sounds like we are going to evolve out of the option.
Conklin said he wants to open things up more, but also said he was attracted to running it. Conversely, he said for certain that we are keeping the 50 defense.
To put it a little more succinctly, if he had the same amount of certainty about keeping the option he probably would have said as much, given that he said it outright with the 50 defense.
So, I'm officially interested in this hire because he sounds like he's doing the smart thing. If you're moving away from the option, you have to do it slowly. On defense, there's no point in running anything but a 3-4 or multiple 50 defense because there's just not as strong supply on DL.
It's going to be interesting to watch Wofford football over the next couple of years. Hopefully in a good way.
