Re: Nussmeier to Michigan
I never liked him and believe he was "encouraged" to leave.
Re: Nussmeier to Michigan
Frankly, I'm not hip on the idea of CLK. I realize he's good OC material, but he brings lots of baggage, lots of ego, and is a recruiting violations train wreck ready to happen. The idea makes me very nervous.

I have family in Manhattan Beach. I do know that the Kiffin house was put up for sale last week. So endeth my insider information. Also for more inane and unrelated information, the Kiffins live next door to the Duck Dynasty producers.

Re: Nussmeier to Michigan
Coach Saban defines an "explosive" play as one that goes for over 20 yards.
We had about ten of those in the Sugar Bowl alone.
I don't think he was "encouraged" to go anywhere. I think he "wanted" to go elsewhere, where he could run the offense he really wants to run, which is wide open.
I guess we all have our opinions. I know Coach Saban hired him and said, "I want more explosive plays".

That settles it! Kiffin is leaving for Oregon to be the OC of the "Quack Attack"
Re: Nussmeier to Michigan
I have total confidence that CNS will keep any recruiting violations in check. Not to worry.
They were quoting some stats on JOX this morning comparing all the defenses from 09-13. It was obvious the 10 adn 13 defenses were less productive than the others but they were still a top 10 average defense. There has been lots of commentary that our defense was below par as the reason we didnt finish the deal this year. I disagree. Personally, I think you ought to be able to win a NC with a top 10 defense. Auburn didnt need one in 10 and almost got another this year without one.
Our inconsistency on offense was ultimately what got us in both 10 and 13 imo. We simply did not get the critical third down conversions this year nor could we rely on our run game. CNS knows that you simply cant stifle every offense you play today with all the different dynamic offenses out there and you cant make yourself a good match defensively for every offense you face. What is our record when we fail to rush for 140+ yards? What is our record when we fail to score more than 30 ppg? While it might not be bad its certainly not as good as the opposite.
As far as I am concerned, we have been pretty predictable in all CNS years. Our teams have been coached to be more fundamental in execution which thereby allows you to be more predictable. Translation arrogance in playcalling. I say that because I think we can all agree we know what we are going to see in any given situation offensively. The biggest wrinkle we have had in the last 7 years is when we installed the Pistol formation as a significant part of our offense.
I remember when Nuss was hired, CNS stated publicly that he wanted to stretch the field vertically in the passing game. I think we accomplished that as we have seen more long throws in the last 2 years than I can remember in a long while. So I cant have any beef with what Nuss has done. I wish him well.
I think we really ought to be voicing our frustration out on Coach Cris if we are going to critique coaches. Quite simply our OL has underperformed and committed uncharacteristic procedure and holding penalties that killed drives. Nor could we rely on them to generate a push consistently in the run game. Even as the season went on our OL seemed to regress imo certainly after the LSU game. All of this gridlock in OL operation has a significant impact on playcalling in game. OL play simply has to improve next year our it wont who the OC is.
Had we better execution on offense this year I dont think we would be seeing near the haranguing over our defense and its performance.

Re: Nussmeier to Michigan
As others have mentioned on the board and social media, the immediate interview with Kiffin and list of possible replacements by media folks indicates this was in the works for a few weeks now.
Re: Nussmeier to Michigan
I'm just having a hard time seeing CLK in a Bama shirt and hat....
I prefer him not coming. There are other options available without the added risk of his personality/attitude being part of the hire.
With that said, I don't think CNS would invite anything into our camp with a high potential for toxicity. Could be CNS knows something the rest of us don't. I would hope so anyway.

You must be a media member but at least you quickly retracted your statement
. The media does not know what that means.
Re: TROUBLE follows Lane Kiffin
And then you're looking for a new O.C.....again. Why even put yourself in this situation?
Re: TROUBLE follows Lane Kiffin
I think Saban made Nussmeier want to leave if you know what I mean.
