Whether you want to admit it or not, Gus appears to be extremely close to being an elite coach. It is just the guy's ego/stubborness that causes him to refuse to further innovate his offense + refuse to admit he needs QB development/talent evaluation help
We seem to have assembled a quality coaching staff, we have talented depth at nearly every position group and the program as a whole seems to have a good foundation.
Yep. We can all sit here and see a path that can make him a great coach, there are plenty of coaches you can't do that with. Most of the tools are there. It wouldn't be a monumental step. We sometimes forget how new he is to college coaching.

Sorry. I don't see elite potential with Gus although I guess it depends how you define "elite."
For me, the following coaches are arguably elite: Harbaugh, Richt, Les Miles, Chris Petersen, Jimbo Fischer, Dabo swinney and Stoops. Saban and Urban Meyer are in a super elite category.
Here's my report card for Gus:
Expertise in defense and special teams: -average to below average
Recruiting (especially QB): average to below average
Development of skill players especially QB: significantly below average
In game offensive adjustments: average
Team morale: average
On positive side:
Ability to attract quality asst coaches: excellent
Development of offensive schemes: excellent.
In summary, Gus is either a very average SEC head coach or an excellent O coordinator (on par with Lane Kiffin without moral shortcomings).
