So, with Chip Kelly leaving UCLA to take OSU’s OC job, and being a 3rd OC candidate who interviewed twice for the Raiders’ job, pretty clear AP not only choose Getsy over him, among a number of other candidates who only interviewed once or not at all and are still looking for jobs or promotions, but also wants what Chip and Kuntsbury have in common: A commitment to the run (regardless of concept) to set up, as well as the ability to teach, a dynamic downfield passing attack (regardless of concept).
Getsy’s passing attack has WCO roots, which Adams spoke and says he is excited about and which Getsy learned under McCarthy, a modified version of which (influenced by ShannaRat Jr. and Rodgers) he implemented as LaFleur’s passing-game coordinator (PGC). Why is Adams excited? Because his 2 best/All Pro years in GB were under LaFleur with Getsy as the PGC:
When Getsy was Moorland’s OC, Moorland’s offense was known for five basic tenets, which bode well for success under AP in collaboration with Huge Jackson. Moorhead’s system wasn’t a reinvention of the geometry of football in the way of Hal Mumme’s air raid offense. Moorhead’s offense is more a synthesis of versatile ideas that bake in as much flexibility as possible, in both tactics and QB empowerment. His college offense has these five basic tenets, which reflect a commitment to inclusiveness and ingenuity:

- ‘21: 123 / 1553 / 97.1 / 11 (5.2% SIS) 92.7 PFF (15 AV)

Moorhead’s system wasn’t a reinvention of the geometry of football in the way of Hal Mumme’s air raid offense. Moorhead’s offense is more a synthesis of versatile ideas that bake in as much flexibility as possible, in both tactics and QB empowerment. His college offense has these five basic tenets, which reflect a commitment to inclusiveness and ingenuity:
- Use the same personnel as much as possible. “Defensive coordinators have to make their decisions based on your personnel, not your formation. Don’t give them anything to work with.”
- Empower the QB. “Give your players as much control as they have earned. Teach the QB to be your eyes on the field and make changes based on what he sees.” Perhaps this is why Getsy’s O in Chi struggled and Rodgers flourished being MVP in back-to-back years under Getsy.
- Slap a read onto nearly every run, too. “Never put yourself in a position in which your QB doesn’t have options.” For this reason, Getsy’ O seemingly should have been a good pairing with Fields, as it was for Bagent, another mobile QB.
- It’s about the players, not the system. “Defenses will always try to dictate the reads you make. Stay one step ahead of them. If you don’t have talented players touching the ball, your system is only going to be so effective. But Moorhead feels he has built the best system for whatever his personnel has to offer. ‘What excites me the most is the simplicity and flexibility of our system,’ he says. ‘We can tailor it to a running quarterback, and we can tailor it to a throwing quarterback. If we need to pass more because that’s our strength, then we’ve done that — 5,000 yards one year at Fordham, and Trace has broken all the records at Penn State. If it’s a team that’s more offensive line-centered and run game-centered, then we can lean on that. We’ve never been higher than 55 percent [run or pass], one way or the other.’” The knock on Getsy as being too rigid in Chi is contrary to Getsy’s training under Moorhead and what Getsy himself said when he was in Chi about his offense—pointing again at Fields as being the problem.
- Never stop adapting. “The fifth tenet to Moorhead’s philosophy has more to do with the man than the system.” Keep learning, growing and teaching, which Getsy did do in Chi with Fields—getting Fields to play his best football his last 7 games under Getsy.
