Longo has been a very successful OC. His first year at Sam Houston State they averaged 49.5 points and 547/ypg. His first year at Old Miss 32.8 and 462. First year at North Carolina 33.1 and 474. I'm expecting a 450ypg and 32PPG+ offense. Expect BA to have a hugh year.

Some notes:

He has never had a offense average less that 32PPG.

He only runs 26 plays. His philosphy is master a few plays that can be run near instinctually.

He uses tempo to prevent defenses from disguising coverages.

Uses WR alignment to sideline to stretch out defenses and pull defenders out of the box..

Uses Green grass philosophy throw where they aint. He teaches throwing to tiny windows in the defense.

When 6 or less in box he loves power run counter, RPO, and zone.

His highest scoring offenses were his best rushing. 2020 UNC 41.7pts and rush 235ypg. 2021 35.2pts rush 212ypg

He will throw to all levels. You'll see alot of swing passes, slot diggs. He runs a vertical on nearly every pass play and will thow it multiple time over the top every game. He's ok with 50/50 balls.

Other thoughts:

Longo defenses at NC were horrible. Best was ranked in 50s. last year was 110th.

His offense can struggle with more athletic fronts on longer pass plays taking more sacks.

Thoughts?
