Tulsa’s junkyard wars offense

Perhaps the most likely 2017 AAC head coach to get snatched up by a power five school after next season is Tulsa’s Phil Montgomery. He was the longtime offensive coordinator for Art Briles, dating all the way back to their Stephenville HS days, which is both a major plus and a major negative on his resume for top jobs. He got out of Waco before the scandal took down the program but not before many of the alleged events took place, which will inevitably raise questions for any team that wants to hire him.

At any rate, his resume of assisting and then duplicating Briles’ offensive success is going to be too tempting for some program, even if they find some skeletons in the closet.

Tulsa’s offenses have ranked 40th and 36th in S&P+ with quarterback Dane Evans throwing for 4332 yards and 25 TDs in 2015 and 3348 yards with 32 TDs in 2016. In 2016 they were able to get their run game going with RBs James Flanders and D’Angelo Brewer combining for 3k yards and 25 TDs.

Considering that Tulsa is in one of the smallest market in the AAC with recruiting class rankings to match, these are eye catching results.

Really good read on Tulsa's offense and the principles behind what they do. I'm curious to see how much (if any) of these concepts we wind up using as well this season, as this "run and shoot" style of offense has become extremely popular. Tulsa is a sneaky pick of mine to win the AAC West this year, as they get Houston, Navy, and Memphis all at home.
