Phil Longo explains what he brings to Ole Miss as offensive coordinator-rbr/coachingsearch


Longo pointed to Mike Leach and Kliff Kingsbury as his biggest influences in the style he plans to run with quarterback Shea Patterson.

“It’s based on chasing space, and that’s a fairly vanilla comment to say, but we do,” he said. “Our guys are given a lot of freedom to chase grass. We don’t always know where the grass is going to be, but the size of the field never changes, there’s going to be 11 defenders. Regardless of what they do, there will be space. What we will do here is take that same philosophy and apply it to our run game.”
Use what you’ve got, eh? Ole Miss, always hit or miss with its run game and now particularly after losing in-state uber-back Cam Akers to FSU, has decided to go all-in on Shea’s arm. Defenders in the SEC now get the joy of chasing receivers for 60 pass attempts a game! Seriously, I just don’t see how this at all helps Ole Miss’ biggest liability — a defense lacking depth that can’t get off the field. Worse, expect to routinely see five-hour Ole Miss games, especially when CBS gets its grubby paws on all those sexy commercial breaks.
Bonus: In case you missed it, Mike Leach, whose best team then to-date got beat physically and otherwise by Mike Shula, popped off at the mouth about the Air Raid in the SEC.
