Should Zorn Adapt to Campbell?

I agree with Matty that Campbell probably isn't being asked to do anything the coaches don't think he's capable of (to think otherwise is to imply they are setting him up for failure).

But there are plenty of people who are ready to write Campbell off now. And that's fine, I think that's extreme, but their opinion. But before they do, I just wanted to ask simply "What Should Zorn Do?"

I don't think it was wise for Campbell to publicly ask for more shotgun formations- he probably should have done that behind closed doors. But I am happy to hear Zorn will grant his request to some extent. Hopefully we'll be creative and have some decent running plays set up out of the shotgun as well.

Zorn should absolutely adapt to Campbell. It's a good question with a simple answer really. You can still continue teaching JC the intricacies of the WCO while playing to his strengths, with the shotgun thing as case in point. If a little more shotgun will help JC see the field and coverages a little faster, then run more of it.
