He left for the NFL.

He did not leave for another college.

Nothing you can do about that, guy wanted to compete at the highest level.

The answer, of course, is yes. In many ways the Dinardo years were actually a helluva lot of fun, and they contributed to the success that would follow with Saban.

Dinardo wasn't bad. His decision to hire Lou Tepper was very very very very BAD.

Hard to say. Saban was not SABAN until his 4th year at LSU. Before that he averaged 4 losses a year ( 2000 8-4, 2001 9-3, 2002 8-5) and even after his national championship he lost 2 games and the bowl game the next year.

You cannot tell really how good a guy is going to be. By resume alone Bill Walsh should have taken Stanford to the Rose Bowl each year and won a national championship and corraled the best recruits in the nation who had 3.0's or better in high school. Didn't happen.

Dinardo? Sure

Curley Hallman? Hell No!

Dinardo was no Curley.


...after all, Curley was a Bear disciple.

Dinardo actually wasn't awful especially since he had to fix Curly hallmans atrocity.

I liked Dinardo.

He took over a team that hadn't had a winning record in 6 seasons.

He won 7 his first year, 10 the following, and then 9 after that. He hired Lou Tepper and then all went downhill.

Dumb thread. DiNardo was not liked by the fans because he was more of a pal to the players than an authoritative figure. The guys knows a hell of a lot about football. But sometimes that doesn't always translate to success on the field. Educate yourselves.

Ironic that you mention Dinardo during Les' reign, considering that they've coached together.

Dinardo had to clean up Hallman's mess and somewhat did actually. It's just that he just fell out of favorability with the team and fans. We had climbed out of the Hallman dungeon, but it was time to go to the NEXT level.

The players also complained when he switched up to Two-a-days more often as they lost more games. It's like driving faster once you see that you're going off the cliff.

I'm no Dinardo fan, but I do believe he'd do slightly better by today's standards. In fact, a lot like Les Miles. He's what we needed at the time.

All the fans want to see is a liiiiiittle bit more offense. And proper QB development. I think we'd consider almost anyone right now that looked to change our offensive identity.
