quote:you should be, unless McElwain is actually calling the plays. If Nuss is your QB coach and McElwain is calling plays you are good. The fact that Saban won a NC with Nuss, and was in position to win another, is testament to how good he is. Nuss has zero feel for the flow of the game or the idea of taking what the defense gives you. I dont remember Nuss being an ace recruiter when at bama.

Nuss was mediocre in all aspects. Not even joking. Our offense was handcuffed by Nuss.

I thought he was above average. Helped bring in Ricky Town as a commitment who was at the time the number one QB in the country.
He decommitted when Kiffin took over and people said "told you so - horrible hire!!" Then Kiffin got the new number one QB in the country to commit.

He was nothing spectacular, he really only focused on QB recruiting more so than other offensive positions. I think you can give him some gimmes, but he's not gonna pull a shocker.
He did help pull off 3 D1 QBs in a class, so there's that.
Should work better with a less stressful person like McElwain, who I'm sure will have a little more control compared to his relationship with Baldwin at CSU(Baldwin called plays as a 35 year vet).

Saban apparently grew disenchanted with him. Is there a confirmed story there? That is, something besides fan speculation?

Very good recruiter. Has connections out west from his days with Washington.

Florida really dropped the ball. Your offense is going to be mediocre to watch. Nuss lost 3 or 4 games for Bama because of his playcalling. The auburn and oklahoma game being huge examples of that.

Mcelwain is the better OC of the two. Put Nuss at a school that isn't just better than the competition everywhere on the field and the results look like Michigan. As far as recruiting, I remember both of them as "ok". Nuss did seem popular with QB recruits.

TAMU @ UA 2012 - 1st and goal from the 6 ... Nuss calls pass, pass, pass, pass.
I danced nekkid when he left for Michigan.

I have a friend who was very good friends with Nuss. Nice guy but he was totally intimidated by Saban. Comes across as an honest person and the recruits liked him.

Let's put it this way: you can probably count on one hand the number of Alabama fans that are concerned about Nuss going to UF.

Dont like the Nuss hire for UF. I never liked him as an OC. Mainly because he had a propensity to bail on the run at the drop of a hat.

He can recruit, Sabán would not have hired him otherwise.
