I think the wishbone is the best offense when you're playing outmanned almost every week. If you have smart athletes, they can overcome more talented athletes.
Personally, I'd be cautious about how much of the offense I'd change from one season to the next. I think it's important for kids to be able to spend several years in the system for them to really understand the system. Our QB last year was not very good as a sophomore, he struggled mentally with the game as a junior, but by as a senior he began to really grasp the offense and had a solid season. Sometimes it just takes time. I'm not sure how much better off a bad team trying to learn a new system is than a team in a system that isn't quite fit for them is. I would make a change as more of a long term thing than expecting to see great results the first year, so I would make sure whatever you decide on fits what you expect to have athletically for the next several years.
