Try Neanderthals in helmets...Both their offensive philosophies are just a bit too conservative maybe???

But seriously, I think once you get the label Stallings and Miles got as "stubborn and unadaptable to the times" it is very hard to get an opportunity of the stature they feel is appropriate to their past successes. Schools who are firing a guy are probably wanting something fresh, something modern...could you have said that about Stallings in the late 90s/early 00s or Miles today? I don't think so.
I read somewhere that Sark's philosophy is similar to CLK except it's a little heavier on the running game! If that's true, I certainly like it and I'm just going to say "In Coach Saban I Trust".
Re: Replacement Offensive Coordinator
Absolutely! I`m on board and 100% supportive of CNS and CSS. He won`t have to learn systems and knows Coach Saban`s program. The personal life stuff is on him. All CNS can do is give these men the opportunity to take advantage of a chance in life. The rest is up to them.
I think this proves he has been straight because Coach wouldn't have hired him if he wasn't. I definitely dig the upgrade, better believe he will pound it more than Kiffin!
If only Stallings had turned the offense over to Homer Smith, he would have probably had another natty!Try Neanderthals in helmets...
His first two years at UW he had QB Jake Locker and his 3rd/4th year he had RB Bishop Sankey. I think he will do a little more running as you said but I think that is based on the RB/OL we will have and he will make our O philosophy based on what is best suited for the team.
So excited about this announcement.....congrats coach Sark! I see a couple of national championships under your watch!
I think he has a pretty good track record. Obviously, it can go the other way in a hurry but I'm OK with it.
I just thought if Les Miles was willing to hire a more modern offensive coordinator that a smaller school might give him a chance, but I guess not. Maybe he will be a sports analyst or an assistant.
Without question at all. Homer was the definition of offensive genius. Brilliant, brilliant coach. Coach Stallings wouldn't take the cuffs off and I, like you, truly believe that it cost us the national title in 1994. Still hurts that a one point loss to Florida in the SEC Championship Game did us in when we had the offensive potential to run them out of the Georgia Dome.
And a hell of a QB coach. He did wonders with Gary Hollingsworth and David Smith. He even made Jay Barker look like an All American during his second stint as OC. Without Homer Smith, Bill Curry would have probably had close to a losing record and no where close to that SEC Championship in 1989.
I think his speech patterns are too disturbed. OTOH, Corso has made it a long way...
Does anyone remember the 1989 LSU game when Hollinsworth did the play fake standing still with the ball hidden behind his back before completing a play action pass? Coach Homer Smith was unbelievable.
