So let me get this straight… you want a guy that has only had a field position for 2 years in his career and those two years are with Mahomes as your quarterback…..

By the way Nagy is the second in command behind Bienemy on the offensive staff. Just because he has PGA by his name doesn’t mean he is the OC in waiting. Giradi is the assistant quarterbacks coach behind Nagy not the senior assistant.
You have to think outside the box....look at what an "established" name has brought us! I am thinking radical here...

Isn't Joe Brady available ? That LSU-NFL-Bama path has worked before.

I saw Art Briles mentioned. Just no. His sins at Baylor are not forgotten nor should they be. Nope forever on him.

I think the stumbling block with Pruitt is Sankey, not the NCAA. And with Saban inching closer to retirement, we can't fall back on "Nick will keep him in line". I don't see him back in the SEC. I liked his defensive style more than Kirby.

Just an OC with an imagination.

I honestly believe there are guys calling plays for several Alabama HS teams right now that would offer more imagination and ways to get our skill players in space.

Other than a broken play when BY waved his magic wand, have we had one play that looked liked we outsmarted the defense???

I would be ecstatic with Patterson if he was willing to be a coordinator and was willing to run another persons system but I don’t think either is remotely true. He seems (to me) to be very much married to his system and taking a year or two off before become a HC again.

also Brady doesn’t want back in the college game and I think lsu was more so a burrow thing than a Brady thing. One guy went to the super bowl and the other is well on his way to becoming an nfl journeyman.

Maybe he could meld his and Saban's system together in some way

I’m not as adept at schemes and schematics as others but from what i understand he runs a 4-2-5 all the time. We used to run 4-2-5 a lot but our ends in this were outside linebackers in a variation of the 3-4. Patterson literally only wants two inside backers on the field ever. the lineman are always de dt dt de. More like a 4-3 than what we do. We simply don’t have the required players to run it really. Our heavier dt’s and nt’s would never see the field. So for a couple of years we’d be thin or starting fr and so on the line. Our linebacking core would be decimated as we’d require a completely different skill set out of them. Also the big reason we get people like will Anderson is that we tell them they’ll be a Jack lb not solely just a de. They can always play just de in the nfl but they’re prepared for so much more. IMO unless Patterson was willing to completely change it’d decimate our d. I don’t know what it changes with the safeties.

I’d be totally open to changing how we coach our corners tho. 16 seasons is long time to watch our corners get eaten alive or flagged on 70% of deep balls and seemingly every sideline over the shoulder throw. Forget what the route is called but you guys know what I’m talking about

truthfully I think what sark is doing with him is about perfect. Use him as an analyst while he collects a check from someone else and let him pick apart the opposing offense from a film and preparation perspective. The guy is like kiffin in the sense all he needs is a play sheet and some film and he’s gonna have an answer for most of what you’re doing.
