I guess O? But we didn’t win because of defense in that game. It was a shootout.

Jimbo- offense
Gus- offense
Dabo- offense
Freeze- offense
Urban- offense
Sumlin- offense
Spurrier- offense

Maybe Bob stoops or the Utah coach in those sugar bowls?

If your head coach isn’t an offensive specialist then you risk going through OC purgatory,


1. Lincoln Riley
2. Lane Kiffin

If you’re a coach at a P5 school, you’re defensive minded. Jesus fricking Christ you people are retarded.

the coaches who find themselves into the CFB playoff are overwhelmingly offensive minded. There is no debate about this whatsoever

you think the former WR who was an offensive assistant is defensive minded?

Is it maybe his complete hands off approach on the defense and having Brent Venables run everything that gave it away?

Dabo was a WR but the defense was the base of that Clemson team.

Yeah it’s the first sentence.

Did we win that fake because of our defensive prowess or did Joe and Clyde shred Bama?

There is some amazing irony in this thread BTW. The OP's point is that we measure the best coaches by who beat Nick Saban, and those coaches tend to be offensive minded. But Nick Saban is the best ever and is defensive minded.
