He might be better than Saban but not sure he can command a room. Dude doesn't speak, he whispers intensely with weighty pauses in between.
Recruiting would be the only worry. Don't need a Pelini as HC as Nebraska found out. Hated recruiting.
I don't think he has the personality to be head coach at a blue blood program. There is a lot of shit you have to do besides coach. Like stroking the egos of your millionaire boosters. Saban is so good he can tell them to fuck off and the will but nobody else can get away with that.
Just think it takes some gusto to stand in front of a locker room and lead headstrong guys into battle. Seems like a evil henchman, not a super villain.
I don't know what game you watched but Etling was 15-18 with 0 picks & 50%on 3rd down conversions killed by 10+ penalties He threw bullets out there that won't likely be intercepted by tougher SEC defenses Arm strength clearly & greatly improved ... If he's the #20 QB in College FB, I'll kiss your ass on Rampart & Canal and give you time to draw a crowd ... Top 5 QB by years end and plays Sunday's He mastered today's glorified scrimmage and play calling in the red zone was skewed arrogantly toward the BULL RUSH ... Think Etling at 15-18 could not have found Moreau or Chark for 6 if the coaches called the play That's not a problem as the game was never in doubt ... WE LEFT 17-24 off the boards ... 44-0 was stated even by the ESPN HOMERS ... Weakness: Inexperienced OL fresh but I like how Charles came back and leveled that 800 pounder at the last TD ... watch replay of this game ... I'm watching it now and will watch it 4 times by Labor Day ... Grades on Tuesday ... Smoke em if ya got em
