We like our revolutions to have names. There is something comforting about attaching a great change to a single person. It gives history a beginning, a face, and a story we can easily remember. One person sees something nobody else sees. One person takes a risk. One person changes the game. This is a story about a collection of ideas, that moved through generations of coaches and players, crossed levels of competition, changed shape along the way, and eventually became something so common that its origins became difficult to see. The read-option and RPO style offenses have revolutionized the game of football, even at the highest levels of competition in the NFL, and Gus Malzahn was at the center of it all.
