>>>>>>>>I posted, at the beginning of the Coen years, that changing the offense away from Air Lehigh would take away a unique advantage that helped Lehigh become an elite I-AA program.

In essense, Air Lehigh helped attract recruits that fit the model------- hs QB or receivers were attracted to an Air Lehigh.

Scatbacks like Jean, Pugh, etc who may not have been big enough for I-A or a I-AA program that liked to play power football were perfect for Air Lehigh.

O-lineman didn't need to overpower opponents-----Air Lehigh used pass blocking and often created running lanes by spreading th field and sealing off d-lineman as opposed to overpowering people.

Air Lehigh had the flexibility to exploit defense's weaknesses and utilize special players skills---the TE position was emphasized when Bergen was on the field.

I understand a new coach wanting to put their mark on the program.

What hasn't made sense to me is Coen moving Lehigh toward a 3 yards and a clump of mud offense when the entire college game is moving toward spread offenses.


Lastly, the Yale comment was interesting-----the same QB who came in for an injured Borda and brought Lehigh from behind to beat Yale in OT. He posted a 5-1 record as a soph QB in an Air Lehigh offense somehow regressed over the next two years.

Coen was hailed as an offensive guru when he was hired-----I hope this is the year we turn things around.
