Dooley was Recruiting Coordinator of the year under Saban


And I think he tried, unsuccessfully, to establish the same sort of overall program management system as Saban.

However, as has been proven time and time again, there is only one of him. The guys who are going to be the most successful are the ones who take things that can be implemented and then develop their own additional stuff. I think McElwain has been a pretty good example of that. I have a feeling Kirby will do the same, but time will tell if it works.

I agree completely. Muschamp IMO is like a coaching robot. He learned under Saban and tried to be Saban, but when things change or circumstances are different he lacks the creativity and ability to adjust.

Coach Mac is his own guy and very comfortable in his own shoes. I really, really like him. Just needs to be able to recruit a little better.

McElwain benefitted tremendously from going to a smaller program before he accepted the position at UF. And he's said as much.


Kirby may be a fricking genius and the second coming of Vince Dooley, but taking the head coaching job at a prestigious SEC school with zero head coaching experience could end up backfiring.
