I agree with Greyhammer.
Its a sexy headline bc of the word Alabama. He def had success there, but I mean in 2012 Bama had one of the greatest defenses in the history of college football out there with one of the greatest OLs in the history of college football. He basically had to not eff it up. He called a brilliant screen pass in the LSU game, but also cost them the game against AM by being too conservative. This year, he left a lot of question marks with his playcalling. And to be honest, you can put most the blame on him for their 2 losses if you are in the camp of questioning Diacos schemes.
He is a good coach, but hes not someone that you would bring in and change your entire philosophy for. Brian Kelly is a founding father of the spread and with the success he has had there is no reason to deviate from that. He has a set QBs that can run his O and he wont have to change it too much if someone goes down unlike the past 2 years with Rees.
I give props to Kelly for sticking to his guns and taking the time to find the right guy. And I also feel that it solidifies he is looking at someone on the outside. I have stated a few times on this site and different ones, that if he cant find the perfect fit, he has Denbrock or Alford or both in his back pocket where he has a comfort level. BK being patient and not hiring someone on the spot is a good thing for ND bc ND will get the right guy for it.
