No. Gus had his chance at a natty and blew it.

I don't think so. Gus was great as an offensive coordinator, not so great as a head coach.
I think as a HC he had too much he was responsible for, and so he couldn't focus enough on the offense, and he (and his teams) struggled.
I do think Gus needs a good bit of credit for the 2010 title, and not just for the offense he called. I do think he helped Chizik in some ways by bringing a second set of eyes and the offensive mindset into it. I remember in the NC game, when we had the ball in the red zone driving for the winning field goal, Gus goes up to Chiz and is telling him/signalling to him to let the clock run, because Gus knew from a HUNH standpoint that Oregon could get right back down the field if there was too much time left on the clock.

That’s pretty much impossible to know. Butterfly effect and all.
