re: What do ALabama fans really think of their new OC?

I'm great with it. Nick is too. I was tired of funnin n gunnin. Get back to dictating the pace with a ground game, mix in some intermediate throws and deep shots but the offense is reliant on the O line and not the QB. It was proven not to work consistently and after last seasons slide Nick knew it was time to go back to what he was comfortable with. No more Lane Kiffins but more Jim McElwain. Our defense was exhausted in the 4th qtr of games and couldn't stop anybody the last few years. UGA convinced him that he didn't have to change. Nick took control of both sides of the ball in the bowl game and it showed. Nick used the bowl game to see if the old style worked. Bama threw only 24 passes the entire game. The defense was rested in the 2nd half and beat KSU the way it should have. This is a great move. I excited to see 27-13 wins again vs 45-43.
