I agree with the last post. You have to stick with something - Ride the learning curve and beat the horse until it's dead. If it IS dead, dismount.
Sounds like your horse got scared before it left the barn.
I was in a similar situation years ago. Went to a college program who was VERY good at running the flexbone and our staff worked it's but off. Had a 5.4 (40) QB who was smart and a fullback who was a converted snowboarder. Two slots/HBs who were scared to get hit but had decent speed. We rushed for over 300/game but we couldn't play defense and we couldn't block but we could sure run the midline and the veer.
If you think you can do it, you have to convince yourself and those around you. If you can't do this you're not being authentic and you'll continue to play "name that tune" with your offense. Pick SOMETHING that you and your staff will put your hat on and ride the curve. Your program will prosper - Good luck!

Guys
Thanks for all of the advice. Many of you made some great points. The thing is, this problem is kind of irrelevant for me now. My original question was posed over a year ago and I am no longer at that school.
The guys that are still there made the decision to more or less abandon the flexbone due to personnel. Some of the components and things that were successful were kept, but they decided to go to more of an I offense. In the end, they probably made the right decision.
