I agree that the triple option is a good move by Rice for all the reasons you listed.
However, before we jump to the triple option, I want to see Coach Cobbs take the helm and turn us into RB-University with a zone run scheme. Introducing the Zone Running Game
This path would allow us to utilize a run first offense while still attracting quarterbacks who can sling the rock.
I've kind of played out the scenario in my mind... Cobbs as HC, Witten as OC/TE coach, Quinn Shanbour as QB coach, Charlie Strong as DC as an experienced DC and former HC to help guide Cobbs. I don't have answers at every coaching position but I think these guys can do we all at coaching and recruiting. I think Strong has enough connections to bring in a good staff on defense.
Witten has a son committed to Rice and another son who's the number 2 safety in the 2027 class. Maybe they tag along like the Sanders' did with Deion? Regarding Shanbour, he's the current QB coach at UC Davis and they have the number 3 passing offense in FCS. I'd really like to get him back in Denton.
