@BrianHamiltonSI: Heard Doug Nussmeier was interested in #NotreDame OC gig. Staff wanted him. But Brian Kelly rejected idea. Wanted to change too much.

Why would he bring in a OC who wants to change the whole offense from the one he has always run? Especially with the knowledge that said OC will probably move on in a couple years time. Not narcissism just common sense.

lol hamilton

 

[zbikowski88]

Saban could probably hire just about anyone for OC and make them look good, he probably wants to open up the playbook some more.

It's because he's just a politician man. #Notagoodfit

Yup.

Hamilton still trolling. Will not go away. No way I believe that shit for a second.

@mspeedkills: Alabama's 2015 commit 5-star QB Ricky Town is now in play for Michigan. He's the #1 QB in the nation and #3 overall per #247Sports

Don't know who this guy is, but...

 

[NDdomer2]

Alright. I'm just kind of meh. I'm sure he's probably good at his job, but I think people are seeing the word Alabama and overreacting a bit. The only thing I'd be scared of is if he brought Derrick Henry with him.

Either way we're done with them in a year. Worst case scenario they dominate the B1G and nobody cares.

i agree with you but on other hand hearing alabama says a lot to a teenage fb player with their recent dominance.

also, sorry to anyone who is regular content with mich fans after this.

Damn.. I hope the end result is crash & burn for UM. You can't help feeling like "Why can't we have nice things?"

He's the QB who will be rated #2, behind Blake Barnett, by mid-summer.

It's hilarious how little coaching Brady Hoke does....

Granted Nussmeier's 'Bama offense put a big number on us, but I can see why Kelly wouldn't want to walk away from the power spread he's been recruiting for for three years to go back to pro-style. He'll be at Michigan two years and move on to a head job, if he's successful.

Just saw that Ian Rappaport tweet. What kind of O did this guy run at Washington?

 

[jimmymac]

Also, it seems as though he was forced out of Bama. Their offense this year was not good at all, especially considering all the talent on their team.

Bringing in Kiffin to "review" the offense. Yeah okay. Saban looking at his as his OC.

And if this guy truly was looking at ND's OC position and Michigans, why? Because he was forced out....

Paul Finebaum was saying the same thing in regards to being forced out of Bama

Finebaum's credibility is such that I'd actually quote JimmyMac to support Pawl's statements, than the other way around.

Haha. If Paul said it then it has to be wrong lol.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

I'm in wait and see mode with what he can do at scUM.

I think most of us could have guided Bama's offense with the stable of runningbacks, and offensive linemen of the caliber they had.


scUM does NOT have even CLOSE to the talent level of what he is leaving in Tuscaloosa.

 

[gkIrish]

This is a home run hire. We would be going crazy if ND made this move.

He's a significant upgrade to their prior OC. Maybe it won't pan out but I don't know who they realistically could have gotten that's better. Hell I don't think anyone would have thought this was realistic before it was leaked.

Huh? Nuss is a disciple of the pro-style one back offense. It's no secret Rapoport

 

[PerthDomer]

I mean at Bama he combined the best OL talent in fball, best RBs, skilled QB, and some solid WRs. He falls into a situation where the OL is hot garbage, the top WR and RB leave, and no impact offensive froshes come in. Dunno if anyone can fix UM's offense for next year.

Also he's leaving because Saban forced him out.

Yes and yes

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Town sounds like he has 0 interest in Michigan from quotes on BamaOnline.

But....he could be the next Shane Morris

 

[gkIrish]

Can someone post a source from other than Finebaum (who I don't trust at all) saying he was forced out?

Saban could also just be telling people that to save face.

 

[tussin]

Curious to hear T Town Tommy's take.
