Any Concern About Tosh Being Named DC ?

Tosh has never called plays before. Seems a little concerning to let someone with zero experience calling plays call the defense.

Maybe coach is giving him this shot because Bama couldn't afford to lose him to another school willing to give him the opportunity.

Obviously we had to retain him with the heat being turned up so much on the recruiting trail so I'm not sure CNS had any choice but to roll the dice, but I will say this -

Going from Pruitt who I think was the best DC in the entire country for years, and called multiple championship seasons at DC, to Lupoi who has never called a game doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies.

Kirby at least called plays at Valdosta State.

Pete Golding called plays at UTSA.

Also usually the play caller coaches the ILB's so I'm a bit confused why Golding has been assigned the ILB's if he is not going to be the play caller.

Anyhow, I suppose Bama is fortunate that they will field their best offense of the Saban era this season.

Will be very interesting to see how Tosh handles the heat, and I hope he learned as much as he could from Pruitt. Pruitt > Kirby IMO BTW

Going off topic for a moment I wonder with todays technology if there is a simulator for calling plays ?

Exactly like what exist for young pilots a simulator could help young coordinators gain experience without having to learn with dire consequences.

The coach would have a simulator that looks exactly like the sideline, and he is seeing the opposing offense line up in real time, and has to call plays exactly like a real game. You could run the coaches through the simulator, and grade them accordingly, and help them fix mistakes before they happen. I bet CNS could dial up some tricky shite for a coach to handle in a simulator.
