Rumor: Malzahn next coach at UNC-Chapel Hill

That was my point...there's about 4 teams out of 120 at the FBS level that run it consistently, and there were a lot of doubts that it would work in a BCS conference when Johnson got to GT. Option offenses hadn't been used in the so-called power conferences since their heyday in the 60's and 70's.

If you don't want to call it a gimmick, call it unique, unusual, different, tricky...whatever.

Well Nebraska used it pretty damn well in the 90's - early 2000's with Tommy Frazier, Scott Frost and Eric Couch.

Frankly, I wish more teams would use it more, but I understand why they don't. Hard to find a young quarterback who is willing to forgo any chance of going into the NFL as a QB.

Good move for UNC. And not good for Chizik.
