Very well stated.
In fact, there were some direct quotes from Rockne attached to a post here not too long ago in which he chided the "three yards and a cloud of dust" approach to offense. And that was approximately 90 fucking years ago. So every time I hear somebody natter on about how Rock would have done things if he were in Kelly or Swarbrick's shoes now, I wonder if they even understand the history of this program and why we became so successful and popular to begin with. It certainly wasn't by carrying on like a bunch of haughty, blueblooded, stick-in-the-mud pricks.
