Who would you say are the best triple option coaches in NCAA history?

 

[Redscarlet]

Emory Bellard.

He invented the Wishbone would be one.

 

[Bert Lantcaster]

Tom Osborne and it ain’t even close.

TO was innovated and evolved into the option offense after losing close games to OU but to say “ it ain’t even close” would be incorrect..

So if they're calling our option game the triple option, (t which it wasn't) does that make wishbone quin option??

TO wasn’t a triple option coach, dive was called pre snap.

Paul Johnson must be mentioned here.

Was going to mention him and I would imagine Osborne gave him some consideration before hiring Peelini..

Fisher DeBerry’s triple option was something to watch. Switzer’s was too, though some of his teams could have ran the single wing and still put up 50 points. He knew how to assemble a talented backfield.

Qb run or pitch to iback or pass downfield (orange bowl after 83 season, that play almost won us that game as turner ran it wonderfully) That was a triple option

I get sick of people staying TO ran a triple option offense. Was a small component of his offense. ISO, lead, load, counter, trap, stretch , zone....... All plays run out of different formations to make it more difficult on defenses.
