    Matching Coaches With Offensive Playbooks

    So, as the game gets older and older, most teams default playbooks are not what they run now. This thread is meant to match each coach/team with the in-game playbook that most accurately reflects their current style. I've studied each of these teams playbooks to the best of my ability and I feel that these are the playbooks that reflect what they run on Saturdays. I'll update the list as I continue my research.

    Template

    Team (Offensive Coordinator/Head coach) - Playbook (Tempo)

    SEC

    Alabama (Brian Daboll) - Miami OH (Conservative)

    LSU (Matt Canada) - Miami OH (Conservative)

    Arkansas (Bret Bielema) - Wisconsin (Conservative)

    Mississippi State (Dan Mullen) - Mississippi State (Conservative)

    ACC

    Clemson (Dabo Swinney) - Ole Miss (Aggressive)

    Florida State (Jimbo Fisher) - Western Kentucky (Conservative)

    Virginia Tech (Justin Fuente) - Iowa State (Aggressive)

    Louisville (Bobby Petrino) - Louisville (Conservative)

    BIG 10

    Ohio State (Urban Meyer) - Ohio State (Aggressive)

    Michigan (Jim Harbaugh) - Wisconsin (Conservative)

    Penn State (Joe Morehead) - California (Aggressive)

    Iowa (Kirk Ferentz) - Iowa (Conservative)

    Michigan State (Mark Dantonio) - Rutgers (Conservative)

    Wisconsin (Paul Chryst) - Wisconsin (Conservative)

    Northwestern (Pat Fitzgerald) - Toledo (Aggressive)

    PAC-12

    Washington (Chris Petersen) - Miami OH (Conservative)

    Stanford (David Shaw) - Stanford (Conservative)

    Oregon (Willie Taggart) - Northern Illinois (Aggressive)

    USC (Clay Helton) - UL Monroe (Conservative)

    Utah (Kyle Whittingham) - Utah (Conservative)

    BIG 12

    Texas (Tom Herman) - Ohio State (Aggressive)

    Oklahoma (Lincoln Riley) - UCLA (Aggressive)

    Houston (Major Applewhite) - Ohio State (Aggressive)

    SMU (Chad Morris) - Ole Miss (Aggressive)

    UCF (Scott Frost) - Oregon (Aggressive)

    Tulsa (Phillip Montgomery) - Duke (Normal)

    Sun Belt

    FAU (Kendall Briles) - Duke (Normal)

    I think Mark Dantonio's default MSU playbook in the game should stay the same. There offense hasn't changed at all really in 3 years

      I also have a smashmouth Spread playbook which is basically identical to what Clemson runs in real life after studying them.

      Bama runs a Power spread too atm. I could post it if you want

        Well, I'm just posting in-game playbooks, so this won't be updated with custom playbooks unfortunately. Obviously none of these are identical to what these teams actually run, but I think they're pretty close as far as formations go.

        As for Michigan State, their playbook has a little too much read option and speed option which they don't really run with regularity. They also have that Maryland-I formation that MSU hasn't run in a few years. I think Rutgers' playbook matches their formations better and takes out some of the read option that is in the default MSU playbook.

            I gave him Miami OH playbook. I know I gave it to a few teams, but it's the closest thing to the Alabama offense. Colorado State's playbook is likely a better fit, but it has the wildcat in it and Bama just doesn't run wildcat, so I didn't want to use it. I don't know what Sark will run, but I envision it being similar to Kiffin's playbook.

              I know that they don't coach in CFB, but I have some kind of fantasy dinasty, what would Josh McDaniels, Les Miles and B. MCAdoo run? Your help would be great and great work here, thanks for keeping the community alive

                Sure man, I'll do some work and see what playbooks best match them. It might take me around a week to do some experimenting.

                  I know Kentucky no longer runs the Air Raid. OC Eddie Gran was at Cincinnati when this game came out. Kentucky runs a run-heavy spread offense

                    Will update accordingly, thanks for the info. Trying to get playbooks for all the bowl teams playing today. Should have the first page updated tomorrow.

                      I'm creating custom playbooks and I'm taking request if anyone wants me to create one.

                      So far I've updated Clemson, Bama, Ohio State and Toledo's playbooks for this year. Any request I can get done

                        Hey bud, could you create a Western Michigan one? The game has WMU under a pro offense (???). I know the OP suggests Duke but I would like to have something that's more individualized if that makes sense.

                          Yes I could! Give me till after the Cowboys game is over and I'll start working on it.

                            Updated the first page with some new ones after today's bowl games. Changed Tulsa's as well.

                              So I updated Western Michigan's and PJ Fleck's playbook for this yr. Here it is:

                              I Form: HULK
