WTF indeed.

Major has been an Offensive Coordinator for one year under Saban at Bama

Correct and either he didn't call plays or if he did, I don't believe he was actually developing the game plan himself.

quote:

he's been a position coach at Texas

mainly correct - his title was co-OC so he had input on the game plan with Harsin but not play calling responsibilities.

quote:

folks are talking about him taking over one of the biggest, and most high-profile head coaching jobs in the nation

Unfortunately also correct - you'd be surprised (I have been) with the amount of people who would be ok with this. I've read of rationalizations for this - he's the same age as Darryl Royal was when he took over Texas, he's fiery and passionate, he "gets" Texas, look how well Muschamp has done, and, my personal favorite, he hates OU because he played here.

I do think more intelligent people (read: a new AD not named Deloss Dodds) will prevail and we'll get someone with more experience. I hope.
