If he was hired at Nebraska, he would do a damn good job here and don't make the mistake of thinking his triple-option attack is the old-school triple option because it isn't. He runs it out of the flex bone formation as the base set. The wishbone is the old-school triple option. That allows for more flexibility and you can have a TE or RB or a FB at one of the flex spots. This base set forces a defense to have to defend the pass and run.
Other common formations to stress the defense that he uses is the pistol formation, three-wide receiver sets, the T-formation, RPOs from the flexbone.
Navy uses zone blocking in their rushing attack while Army uses gap schemes.
Some clips of other formations used that would be loved at Nebraska.
If Jeff Monken was hired at Nebraska, there will be some fans that would think we went back to the 1960's of high school offenses, but in reality, Jeff's offense is incredibly smart and isn't anything like the old school triple option out of the wishbone.
