New Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki compares his offensive philosophy to a DQ Blizzard

I've heard a number of different analogies to explain offensive philosophies over the years, but new Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki took the stage today with one that has immediately become my favorite.

In his first meeting with the media since leaving his longtime colleague Lance Leipold and Kansas for Happy Valley, Kotelnicki compared his offensive approach with a Dairy Queen Blizzard.

"The Blizzard, in itself, is a wonderful desert...which we should all enjoy in moderation."

"In itself, it looks complicated because it's messy inside and the person working there puts it in the machine and mixes the ice cream. But fundamentally, it's mostly made up of what? Vanilla ice cream."

"So if you could equate offensive football to your favorite Blizzard, and understanding what it is going to look like is that it's going to look like a messy piece of deliciousness, but fundamentally is composed of really just vanilla ice cream and your favorite candies."

"That is when we talk about simplicity versus complexion. So it is going to look really complex, but really at the end of the day it's just two ingredients mixed together."

Love that analogy, and I something tells me the diehard football fans and folks at Penn State will too.
