    Wow, did not expect this. The gsu program had clearly defined itself as a triple option school, fritz runs a spread option. I bet the fans are thrilled

    I agree will PL, fritz doesn't seem to fit this hire. He feasted on some fbs transfers at shsu but this is the top level now (sort of)

    Probably the best news the Big Sky conference has heard in the past few years...

    My thoughts exactly. They might get a team or two through in the playoffs now.

    I predict Fritz will be fired in 3 years and GSU will hire a triple option guy. History repeats itself?

    I get that feeling. Shsu seemed to liked spread runs and play action behind a big line. Gsu ran quick hitters behind cut blocks. Oh, and the gsu QBs weren't exactly recruited to throw. But then again I'm sure they have a pretty talented roster

    3 years? You really think they give him that long?

    I think this is actually kinda an interesting hire. The blocking schemes are different but both offenses are run oriented. It will be interesting to see if Fritz uses some creativity and just adds things to the GA southern 3option or overhauls everything. I don't doubt for a minute that the Ga So roster already has the athleticism to incorporate more passing. I thought their wr actually seemed pretty athletic and capable. I always wondered why they wasted their skills playing in that lame offense (by lame I mean boring not ineffective). Should be interesting to see how this pans out.
