If I see O compared to Saban one more time, I'm gonna lose it

But that's not what you asked/said.

You asked for an example, I gave you two. Point being, it's not uncommon for a head coach to be involved.

I hope that you don't lose it.

Were his coordinators elite before they went to him? You're using success they had under Saban to paint a picture that's a little different than what we're talking about here. Regardless, Saban is an outlier that will always be an exception to any rule, so again, stop comparing O to him.

Moving the goal post but I'll answer.

Jeremy Pruitt was considered an elite DC while at Florida State prior to going to Alabama.

But now Saban is an outlier?

I also referenced Fickle/Freeman.

Like I said, I'm sure all head coaches have input on what schemes are implemented.

No it isn't.

Now? No other coach is saban

"Have input" isn't what we're talking about though.

ETA: Forgot Fickle/Freeman ...

How much involvement did Fickell have? And would you even call Freeman elite at the time he was hired?

It absolutely is.

That's not the question you originally asked. I gave multiple examples and referenced a coordinator that was considered elite before joining his staff.

Again, you moved the goal post.

Really?

Coach O said he would be more involved. Most people would interpret that as input.

By the way, I think you have lost it.

No it isn't. You're trying to use coach that weren't considered elite at the time to answer a question about elite coordinators.

So outside of Saban, maybe, the answer is overwhelmingly no.

Yes, really.

I couldn't give one shite much less two what you think I've lost. Every head coach has input. That's part of the job. Any reasonable person will take a coach saying he will be "more involved" to go beyond the bare minimum.

Especially given his ole miss past and how he said he'd let the coaches coach when he was hired.

-asked and answered -Jeremey Pruitt

Again, not the question that you originally asked. Also I'm not saying and have never said Coach is O is Saban's equivalent or that more involvement by him is a good or bad idea.

-Meh

So now you're qualifying how I should respond to your definition of input/involvement?

Maybe phrase your question differently next time.

Again, See above, not the original question that you asked.

So in all of the hires ever, you could come up with one fricking name And to get to that name you had to use the greatest college coach in history, a selling point O cannot use to get élite coordinators here.

You say qualifying, I say being honest about the discussion. Or perhaps a goal post move.

"Name one elite coordinator that is looking to have a "more involved" head coach. Just one."

This was your original question, is it not?

My answer- Pruitt, an elite coordinator, joined Alabama's staff knowing that Saban is and always has been in complete control.

I gave you an example aside from Saban's staff referencing Fickle/Freeman.

You then qualified your question to an elite coordinator prior to being hired on.

My response was Jeremy Pruitt.

You replied that Saban is the greatest of all time and as such should be excluded.

Again, that's not the question that you asked.

Honesty, it's a goal post move. You asked a question I answered. Now your saying you want to have a honest discussion.

Google is your friend, the information is out there. As for me, I've wasted enough of my time on this.

I only answered your question because you kept calling the other poster out and were speaking in absolutes.

For any coach not named Saban, it is an absolute. And even for Saban, there is only one example.

Congrats on finding the exception that proves the rule.

Munch Box, everyone here knows you hate O. you don't need to post 65 times a day reiterating that sentiment.

The last time you were this adamant that O sucked we won a natty so I now treat you as a barometer: when Munch Box feels the need to suck the fun out of every thread on the board, good things are coming.

I've never done that, and don't do it now.

What exactly am I adamant about in this thread? Did we not miss very publicly on our top two candidates?

where have I said we are going to be terrible this year? The only prediction for this year I've made is that anything more than two losses will look bad given all the talent returning and the schedule. A 10 win expectation is now adamant that O is a failure?

There you go again.

Sorry, but I'm not doing research for you. I gave you examples with a 30 second google search. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find other examples.

Talk about absolutes, are you now saying Jeremy Pruitt is the only elite coordinator to accept a position knowing that the head coach will be involved in the offense/defense?

To be fair, he specified he is going to be more involved in the front. So he’ll be more involved with the DL which is fine by me.
