Outside the box thinking... I like it.

Technically this is no box thinking.

Like he said, how does it stop lightening?

It would have to have surrounding open area to allow flow-through. IMO a large aluminum roof + steel structure + FL sun =

Possible "updraft" issues should it get stormy. Will need custom "L" brackets/braces.

I can't believe you guys...

AC was just added so that they can run more plays per practice, to simulate game speed.

 

IMO, that pole barn would be useless in Florida, especially in Lightning avoidance.

BTW, I heard UCF toyed with a variation of this , with walls and no roof.

The more reps per practice the better I suppose when you are installing the "Oregon" offense which tries to snap the ball every 21-24 seconds. At full speed with no clock eating, Oregon averages a snap every 17 seconds.

That's great, but I don't see them running a play every 17-24 seconds in 95 degree temperatures outside. Let them get spoiled with the AC

I thought the exact same thing, but the AC was primarily for early fall practice, to maximize how many plays they could get in in 2 hours per practice, early in the camp. Cooler temps, more reps, then work outside later.

I used a stop watch at the spring game, they snapped the ball every 24-25 seconds. I know they have improved, but unlike O'Leary, practices are now closed which a bummer.

I found a Oregon fan site that covered the Oregon offense in depth, and it is a darn huge challenge for the QB. As the whistle calls the ball dead, the QB must look over get the call, line the team up, read the D, make any adjustments, refine the cal...all in about 15 seconds.

Time ( no pun intended) will tell.

Unless the talent improved drastically since last year it looks like a lot of quick 3 and outs. Shoot they weren't successful going slow, just don't see how speeding up will make them better this year. It's going to take some time to get players for that system. At least the ucf vs usf game will be fast paced on both side. Nothing worse than a slow paced game.
