Don't know about others, but I don't want to see the playbook "opened up" as much as I want to see it reduced so the team can execute better and play faster on offense.  That doesn't mean you have to be predictable.  You can run or pass out of the same formations and you can use the same personnel packages in different formations.

One thing I absolutely want thrown out of the playbook is the heavy sets with extra OL instead of TE, with runs up the middle.  They generally go nowhere because everyone in the stadium knows it is an up the middle run, and it just ends up being a pile of about 20 bodies with absolutely no place to run other than dive over a pile.  It's a very low percentage of success play with a very low yield of yards if successful.  Even getting one yard is difficult. At least if you use three TEs, they are pass threats and you can get a defense sleeping on a play action fake or get a few defenders to maybe not immediately attack the RB at the snap, fearing there might be a pass called.

My three commandments of offense
1. Don't be predictable
2. Design your scheme to harness what your best players do (even if they are True Frosh)
3. Limit the number of plays to maximize chances of flawless execution
