Yes and no. Sure, it's an "easy fix", but why would they fix something they don't consider broken? It's not designed to help the running game. Slide Protection, in NCAA, is designed for pass protection only.

And while I'll agree that there are probably some coaches that use it ... I'd venture to guess there are a lot more that don't. Our slide protection schemes had no bearing on our run blocking, even on the rare plays that we actually used zone blocking techniques.
