An fresh offensive mind might not hurt either!

I think you'll find that the core of all offenses in the league are based on the basic principles that make offenses successful regardless of what type:
excellent Pass protection
excellent run blocking
accurate passing
high precentage of catches (and receivers getting open on a regular basis.)
If you have all of these components, then your offense is going to work. Spurrier's offense failed because he didn't have pass protection and a strong enough running attack to counter what he lacked on pass protection. Yeah we scored more points (5 games over 20 points and us getting shut out against Dallas) but our QBs were getting killed. Certainly we measure offensive success in the number of points scored, but its much more than that to make it a solid offense.
