Nice try, he ran to a team with less expectations, so anything positive he does their they straight. People keep acting like saban is above and beyond all the other coach, spurrier use to each him and oscare cryer's lunch. And oscar cryers system normally defeats not st. nick teams when they go head to head. To many teams just out here copycating each other, that's why i like what harbaugh is doing in Michigan, stayed with an old school offense and its starting to pay off.
When gumbo was with Fsu he was already going head to head with saban for recruits, you tell me what conference you'd rather be in, the ACC with clemson already at the top of the food chain, and up and coming Miami team that when we are right will trump all of college football, up an coming syracuse program, some timey notre shame, i'm sure V-tech will get back on track at some point, Georgia tech, with physical teams like Boston college and pitt. From top to bottom the ACC has more competitive teams than any conferenc.
So gumbo runs to the s.e.c. where its only Bama as the big dog, UGA built by coach richt and Lsu on the come up, but only one team over their in that conference has been winning titles for the most part, its not as hard as it looks and gumbo knows that. You ask yourself, would you rather go against a stacked Miami squad once we get right or go against a saban coached squad where you know his strengths and weaknesses.
For the people who criticizing coach richt, that man has the exact mindset you want your oc to have, staying aggressive, people talk about the throw and catch by rosier and langham, but how bout the play call, and the year before that how bout the play call, throw and catch from brad kaaya to stacy coley, if not for the blocked extra point who knows who would have won, but one thing is for sure, gumbo knew he wasnt coaching against the moron brigade any longer, so its time to go.
A conference with a Championship caliber clemson team and a Miami team when we are right will be harder to win in than the s.e.c.
