Then find someone else. FFS, Oregon hired Chip Kelly FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. Swinney hired Chad Morris from Tulsa, three years removed from COACHING HIGH SCHOOL. If Applewhite, Fedora say no, how about looking at young, up-and-comers who might bring some excitement to the anemia...

I hope you're right. But I'm not enamored with this, and I don't think kids will be excited to play in the offense. And even if they were, why wouldn't they just go to Georgia or Bama to do so? The key about hiring someone with spread concepts is that it would allow us to sell something most...

1. He was co-OC and didn't call plays for Bama, Gattis did. 2. It's easy to look good when you've finished with the #1 class overall 4 out of the last 5 years.

And prior to being the QB coach of one of the greatest dynasties of all time, this guy oversaw offenses that routinely finished outside the Top 50 in total offense.

He has ZEROOOOOO experience running spread concepts. None. He's never worked for a staff that does. He's not going to suddenly reinvent what he's known his entire coaching career, and if he did, it would be disastrous.

This is false. We know quite a bit about him. He was an offensive assistant under Saban, Bielema, and Dantonio. You think he was learning spread concepts under those guys?

Michigan pulled Doug Nussmeier from Alabama, and he was a train wreck. Florida hired Jim McElwain, whose offense was ALSO a train wreck. Getting a guy that Bama "wants" does not have a great track record.

Because it's the polar opposite of the spread system 1) Manny said he would implement on offense, and 2) that most of the fanbase are crying out for.

This guy has literally no ties to programs that have ever run the spread. He was a coordinator under Dantonio at Cincinnatti with Dantonio and then followed him to Michigan State. Ground and pound. Then he went to Arkansas under Bielema. Ground and pound. Then he went to Bama under Saban...

Man, I'm trying to get behind Manny, but this is just the total opposite of what he said he wanted in an offense.
