He wouldn't be my choice but at his age, I'm willing to support him and give him a chance.

To be honest, not sure it matters that much since the OC will run whatever Saban wants anyway. For the most part, Saban has shown he can adjust on offense and put up points. More concerned about adjustments needed on defense when handling a competent dual threat QB and wide sets. Don't think what we run is as effective against that style offense.

Saban has hired very few proven OCs. Add Rees to the list. I hope he works out. All I can do is watch what he does and hope. If he is successful, we'll lose him to ND as a HC in a few years.

I see what saban is doing here. He knows his defense is getting more soft every year since he went spread offense. Practicing against that kinda offense everyday makes your team soft as a whole. With all of the big 350 plus o linemen we got in this year's class, he looks like he wants to get back to smash mouth play. Now when he went to the spread not everyone was running it. Today 90% of teams run it. So let's go back to the smash mouth style and like Georgia is doing now then you just wear people down and beat teams into submission. Most teams defense's like ours is soft. In the last few years we score a lot of points and get alot of yards but when it got crunch time where we need a yard or two for a first down or TD we can't get it. There's nothing more demoralizing than knowing a team is going run it and your too wore down to stop it. Also ball control makes your defense alot better.
