He said that we're not going to be the West Coast offense or the East Coast offense or the spread offense. "We're going to be the Gopher offense." Let's hope this doesn't mean another two years of a learning process.
There's a commen theme in many that were asked about Fisch:
Shanahan: "...he’s very charismatic and very smart."
Billick: "Jedd is one of the brightest coaches I’ve ever been around."
Capers: "Minnesota has a very bright, innovative young coach."
Brandon Stokley: "He’s a great mind."
I was told he's from a part of New Jersey where most people are highly educated. He probably won't have to follow someone else's playbook while he catches on. The question won't be whether he understands offense, but whether he keeps it simple enough for a whole team to grasp his vision.[/QUOTE]
I agree with that thought! He may come across a little like Linehan in his first year with the Vikes. He was good, but he did experiment on some plays that did not work out to well at time!
With this being his first OC position, I suspect he will put in an extra amount of effort to prove he belongs in the position.
