When Alabama hired Mike Locksley as OC, I thought

OMG, somone has a shittier offensive coordinator than Iowa. Then I watched the games today. ROLL TIDE.

I know you're trolling but it doesn't matter who Alabama's offensive coordinator is since they have an entire roster of 5 star players. I could be their OC and they wouldn't miss a beat.

They could run inside zone 30 times a game and still score 30.

I just have to wonder how badly does Brian want the HC job when daddy finally retires? He didn't look very hungry for it tonight. When the division is on the line open up the play book and let 'er rip!

I dont think he's gonna be the head coach. And I think you're correct, I dont think he'll want it in 3-5 years when KF hangs it up.

It matters. Bama has been struggling to get the run game going this year. And Bama has to play LSU and Auburn, two teams that usually have some good ball players on defense. Plus they will likely draw Georgia in the SEC title game. Presumably they will have to beat Clemson as well, who has a pretty good defense. Even with really good players, you need stellar coaching to win games like those.

That game last night was a critical game for establishing the next few years in the West. Iowa gagged. Nebraska will get better. Purdue is probably getting better. By the time Big Papa is ready to hang it up, Iowa fans will be so sick of the Ferentz name that they won't want him anywhere near the program. Of course, after getting 5 years on the on the job training at Iowa, Junior Ferentz will probably end up getting a marquis coordinator job and then end up at a decent SEC program for a few years.

Nah, last night was a gutting loss, and all but ended any B1g West hope. Absolutely brutal to lose that way and it carries more weight than just a loss, but just for this year.

But that game didn't mean anything regarding the next few years. nebby will get better(how can they not), Purdue or some other teams will improve, others will regress.

The rest is likely true though.

Saban has Locksley on his staff to recruit, I think he has another guy calling plays and running the offensive practices.
