Bill O'Brien would be a fabulous hire, probably the best in the country. He is an elite QB coach and has been a terrific HC and OC. He led Tom Brady to his greatest year in 2010. Next year he made Matt Cassel an 11-5 QB, he was never the same after O'Brien left. He makes Mike Bobo seem like a kindergarten instructor. Bama's staff is close to incomparable in the college ranks, certainly in the SEC, and will improve with the hire of Bill O'Brien.
This is absolutely the truth. I posted this on another thread recently. In an interview before Sarks first year, he said he met with Nick and Nick told him what he wanted. Sark drew up the plays then took them back to Nick for approval or tweaks. Sark said it was Nicks offense!
Stoutland will have what he needs to be successful for the next three years but i remember the general consensus was he left the cupboard pretty bare when he left.
Yeah, that was an issue.................I'm sure Saban has a plan for that...............probably a pro offensive line coach
Yes, pretty sure about Butch getting a ring.
I think ole Gus will go on a long vacation................then take a job somewhere outside the SEC.
This is outstanding on many different levels...thanks for sharing.
This is slightly an ambiguous article if we're gonna lawyah, but it sure seems to confirm a "done deal" if CNS would say this to the press. Thoughts?
I have to question this just a bit. I've heard that argument about Stoutland over the years but don't our coaches recruit areas of the country and not positions? If we didn't sign a particular offensive linemen was that Stoutland's fault or the coach that was recruiting that player? Perhaps he had a problem identifying who to go after? All I know is he is a heckuva offensive line coach and I would welcome him back with open arms assuming there wasn't some internal issue that we don't know about. We have some coaches on staff who are great at recruiting so let them be the primary recruiters.
