re: Auburn developing a perception of not preparing players for the NFL

It's cute to sit back and say "It's not our job to prepare you for the NFL, it's our job to win games" blah blah blah... but what happens when the inability to prepare players to be successful in the NFL starts hurting recruiting? How do you combat that, when every major D1 college recruit has a goal of eventually making it to the NFL?

I usually don't agree with much you post but you hit the nail on the head here. The HUNH offense run by Auburn and many others is a glorified HS offense and is not a NFL prepatory plan for a recruit. It will win a lot of games for the team but the player will be ill prepared for anything further. Cam Newton is an exception just because he is a freak of an athlete.

Saban put some of that in last year because he had to plug a QB gap - he wont stay with it. Miles uses a small amount of it but stays with traditional offensive tempo mostly.
