It is funny isn't it Seriously tho, consider this...when you are about to purchase a new car are you comfortable with just hearing about how good it looks, how fast it drives, how many girls you can pull while driving it?

No( I hope not anyway) you want to see the engine, know the gas mileage, you want to know how much space on the interior maybe even trunk capacity...

now you purchase this Badboy only to get a report that it has been know to flip on you in a curve...wouldn't you as the owner now become apprehensive about that report...even tho you haven't driven your new car yet wouldn't you have doubts about its safety?

If your answer is yes then I hope you can see why I have apprehension(albeit I am still excited that coach miles listened and went out to hire a new OC with hopes that my apprehension is misplaced) about this new hire after reading the Dandy-Don article.

Nick Saban won a national title with a former Saints Emergency QB as a first-year OC. Before that, Jim McElwain had coached at Fresno State for two years, been a QB Coach for Art Shell's 2-14 Raider crew before getting canned, & then had been with Jonell Smith first and Louisville & then Michigan State.

We played in the national title game with Coach Dud & Krags. These are two guys whose previous experience included OC gigs at BGSU, Tulsa & one HC stint at Louisville where he called plays before getting canned. Before I forget, Krags had a cup of coffee at A&M coaching receivers for a Spring.

Now, we've gone on to hire an offensive coordinator who coached league leaders in the NFL. Who went to AFC Championship games multiple times, and who was the OC of the Super Bowl Champion before an ignominious departure over a locker room issue after 14 games this year.

This guy has worked with Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Antwan Randle El, Joe Flacco, etc.

But somehow this guy isn't good enough?

I'm a logical guy. I tried to have some fairly logical discussions with you on the Recruiting Board when you were fapping about Duke Riley, and you basically provided nothing to rebut my points.

I see the same thing here. Look at what you're saying.

We hired a former NFL Head Coach who was one of the most successful Offensive Coordinators in the League's modern era. He's got a background with Norv Turner-again one of the best offensive mind's in this Era of the League, himself an OC on multiple Super Bowl Champions. He's steeped in Air Coryell-which should make anyone that's been disappointed with our lack of usage of the TE take heart-and yet...you're here saying you're skeptical?

Who would've kept you positive? What hire could Les have made to make you happy?

I know. I know...Seriously, don't be mad. I agree, that's a trick question. We both know from your posting that there's NOBODY Les could've hired that would've pleased you.

I'm not the guy's biggest fan. Lots here and elsewhere can and will attest to that. But geezus, man...If you can't develop some optimism over this and sustain it, then ultimately, you may wanna push away from the game for a little while. You're holding on way too damn tight.
