What he did at Oregon wasn't exactly rocket science bub. He only had to deal with one team that had the same level of talent as him and I'm a better coach than that fail-upper.

I hope you're talking about Lane Kiffin not David Shaw.

He ran a spread option in a no huddle fast tempo pace. It's not a coincidence that he any time he faced a team that had equal or better talent and an equal coach, he lost and usually lost pretty decisively.

Every team he lost to while at Oregon was more talented than him and decisively so along the LOS.

-2009 (first year as head coach) - Losses to a Boise State team with one of the better DLs in the nation, check the roster. Lost to Stanford under Harbaugh and Ohio State. Possibly should have beat Boise, but he was absolutely undermanned against Stanford and Boise.

-2010 - Lost to Auburn. Nick Fairley, Cam Newton, and Michael Dyer, enough said. That game was only close because of his brilliant gameplan tweaks. They beat 3 teams that season so pretty close to even talent I'd say.

-2011 - Lost to LSU (not even close in talent) and USC. Probably should have beat USC, but USC has never lacked for talent. Also beat 3 ranked teams including Stanford and Wisconsin.

-2012 - Lost to a Stanford team that will prove this season they have the best front 7 in CFB. They also beat 5 ranked teams.

So, yea I don't believe you. Nor do NFL execs who just handed over a multi-million dollar program to a guy who "hurries to the line and runs the option".
