outside of linking his wiki page, highlights include WR coach at Purdue when Brees was there, OC at OU during their best ever offensive run 03-08 and of course UofH...

Yeah Kingsbury was nothing but a pawn. I have mad respect for Sumlin.
Yeah, it's not like Sumlin groomed Holgerson, either.
Crazy how he just keeps acquiring the game's best OCs--great way to disguise one's own deficiencies, would you agree?

Everyone picks up something from someone else. Sumlin is an excellent pupil, but given a choice, I'd take the godfather of that offense, Leach.

This. Although I am very curious what Sumlin can do as a head coach without a very athletic and "gamer" QB like Case and Johnny, the one year at UH without Keenum wasn't exactly his fault at all. You can only morph your offense so much to your talent and you are kind of handcuffed when your QB has no talent.

No balla. The guy that was the winningest OC in the NFL the last five seasons, '08 through '12.

This is implying that the Ravens won because of their offense.

This year: Ravens 7th in ypg 8th best in yards given up. Sounds balanced to me, no? That was in the playoffs btw. Let me check the full season stats.
16th on offense 17th in defense.

Well the game that got Cam fired was the Redskins game last year. A game that went to OT where their DEFENSE couldn't hold on. In fact, the Raven's offense was statistically better with Cam. They went down in almost every category once he left.

All I know is Saban was fired from the Dolphins and no one thought that meant he couldn't coach defense. Sean Payton had playcalling duties taken from him. No one knows how it will turn out, but him being fired is fun for flames, but he is more than capable of coaching a college offense.

On this board the answer will obviously be "No". The correct answer for the outside world is "You're not the only one, but you're in a very small minority".
The Keenum-less UH year was a disaster, but also ignores that UH had horrendous injury problems that year and ended up starting their 4th-string QB.
I'm pretty sure all Aggies are very happy to have him.

Rank in terms of what? Production? Creativity? Ingenuity?
Because we're missing a serious name on that list if we're referring to productivity and success.

Nuss does a solid job, but last year he passed entirely too much considering he had the best oline in the country. I remember watching Bama games and wondering why the hell he would try to air it out after watching Bama run it down the opposition's throat. He was too keen to go away from what was working.

And, more importantly, game planning against a college defense.

I consider him the father. Try to keep up. The spread pass attack family tree is linked directly on the home page, so you don't have to go far.

Right. He did bail out of that job. If you don't think that counts as a constructive firing after he completely fricked that roster and destroyed any chance of a quick turnaround, good on you.
