its not as simple as just moving back to one scheme. we won 5 super bowls in the west coast offense when it was new, and teams had a hard time combating it. now its been figured out, and its much easier to stop. the Tampa 2 defense was designed specifically to shut down the WCO. its become somewhat old news, and youre seeing success in more open offenses like the Patriots and Colts run.
some people seem way too stubbornly stuck in the 80's where everything was great. that era is over, and the NFL today is a totally different animal.
lets start by hiring a GM who will run all football operations (and run them well). he can hire the right coaching staff, and draft the right players. theres no specific form of offense that is going to transform the team into a winner, its the actions from the top.
