He tried to convert from the spread to some slow down bullshite Alabama ran because muh NFL and muh not good for the game crap back then. He was influenced by the boosters which is why he recruited so well until the NCAA camped out in 2011. Gus left. We sucked. Couldn’t score. He should have kept the spread and kept hunting for the next great QB. Still a good dude and he deserves a lot of credit for keeping the team focus in 2010. He had a contagious attitude and handled that year better than anyone I could think of. Gus gets credit since Gus completely revolutionized our offense w/Cam and Nick M.

Gus was always the long term plan and Gene was hired as a puppet or figure head who could stay out of the way of the dream team offensive staff. Chiz delivered an unexpectedly great year, but failed overall at establishing a winning culture that could sustain the program long term. Completely lost focus after the NC. He had a very humbling experience which is probably why he’s such a great guy now.

Finding a QB1 is HUGE when you are competing against Bama with 75 four/five star recruits.

A QB1 can cover some talent gaps.

Cam and Nick were amazing.

I hope Thorne is amazing.
