I pretty much felt the same way. As an OC he had a couple years at USC with great talent and Pete Carrol as HC to guide him, and the last 3 with Bama. In 5 years he has had the luxury of great talent and great head coaches to tell him what to do. Without that he has failed miserably.
I've seen men tip their hats, I've heard "I tip my hat to you sir" but this Ht stuff, well that is a bit millennial for me.
