Examples follow;
1. Gus has autism, brother Hugh does not.
2. Because Gus is an autist, he gets hyperfixated on patterns and routine to the point where he is incapable of change and is exceedingly deficient in self-awareness, Hugh does not have this problem.
3. Gus runs a power option spread based on the inverted veer and misdirection. Gus' offense is extremely reliant on tempo and pre-snap motion as window dressing/distraction to be effective, Gus does not give his QBs the authority to make pre-snap adjustments because he is paranoid and has trust issues, but also because the QB making decisions based on his read of the defense at the LOS just isn't really incorporated into the offensive scheme at a foundational level, it is more of an afterthought that was plugged in at the same time the RPO was introduced into the playbook. This only works against defenses that are either unfamiliar with the offense or are undisciplined. This is known colloquially as "mickey mouse bullshit". It completely falls apart against defenses that can dominate at the LOS and/or are disciplined enough to ignore the eye candy and stick with their assignments (i.e. Clemson 2016/2017). Gus' route tree is also so simple and antiquated that there are several high school offenses now that have surpassed it in complexity and refinement.
4. Hugh's offense is a pass-oriented spread that shares certain formations with Gus' offense but is based on using the run game to open up passing opportunities and the QB making pre-snap adjustments and making the correct post-snap decision based on how his keys on the defense react. Motion is employed with intentionality rather than as a distraction. Hugh uses motion to allow the QB/Coaches to get a read on the defense so the QB can make the correct adjustments or audible the play if necessary, creating a three-man surface out of various alignments and formations to counter a blitz, and create conflict for defensive personnel in their assignments. Hugh keeps this simple for the QB by using a condensed number for formations and emphasizing specific players on the defense as keys. Most plays have several options available to the QB post-snap based on what the QB sees from his keys, but he also has the ability to pull these options and run more traditional plays like play action, inside zone, or mesh if the defense is out of position or vulnerable to a specific play call. It creates conflict, exploits personnel mismatches, and is extremely adaptable. Its primary weakness is that without a competent QB it completely implodes and can result in outcomes like Arkansas blanking Ole Miss after Bo Wallace injured his ankle early in the first half.
5. Hugh kind of looks like a beaver, Gus does not.
6. Hugh understands recruiting elite talent while still actually addressing roster needs in the process, Gus would routinely sign six WRs and one OL in a class and while it might end up being top 15 in the rankings it often ended up leaving massive holes in the roster and a very unbalanced team.
7. Gus thought purchasing and daily driving that dumbass BMW i8 would be cool and a good idea, Hugh does not.
There are several other examples, but I don't feel like listing them. But in conclusion, no Hugh is not just "Gus with two phones full of 'cruits".
