The OC is real young but you are a dumbass if you think Malzahn will not have control of the offense. Ellis Johnson is not a joke hire either.


I know it's Gus' show on offense but what kind of quality offensive assistants will want to work under a 29 yr old OC.

Ellis Johnson was good at SC, he was a trainwreck at Southern Miss, and has been up and down his entire career. He's a bad fit for a HUNH offensive system but that makes every DC look bad. Arky St's defense dropped about 30 spots in total defense under Gus.

Gussy ball is for softies, just like the staff he's putting together. A group of coaching softies.

FYI Muschamp was 30 when he was promoted to D/C.
And its still going to be Gus that hires the other assistants. Gus's offense is not designed to have "soft" OL, RB's or WRs.

Some good coordinators are not good head coaches. Most people should already know that. He was pretty good at Alabama and MSU(considering). At SC he was able to reel in some great talent and had top 15 defenses during his time there. I am confident he can get us into the top 25 in D.

Will be absolutely irrelevant the OC's age. You got some sort of Napoleon complex where you can't work for people younger than yourself? Most people I work with are 20-30 years older than I, but that doesn't hinder us as a company. If you're good, you move up, regardless of age.

He's not up and down as a coordinator. He's not head coach material, but that doesn't mean he isn't an elite coordinator because he is.

Probably similiar guys that took orders from a 30 yr old Muschamp when he was at LSU.
