3. he teaches the west coast offense. this is what he does. you are not going to teach a college quarterback the west coast offense, not at that level as he runs it. he does not like nFL rookies and now he's supposed to teach QB's that are 18 years old how to run the west coast offense when he couldn't freaking teach brad johnson how to run it. okay.

This. There's a huge difference in depending on experienced pros vs 18 year olds with limited practice time to carry out your plans.

And it's been over 21 years since Gruden coached in college.
