This wasn't a knock on Scotty C, he clearly is elite in the FB space

My point is that it is a massive difference in S&C style/strategy. It would be extremely difficult to be an expert in both without having some time to build

For example, I imagine Nate Oats is a better basketball coach /evaluator than Nick Saban right this second

.... Maybe not after Saban has a couple nights of film study/coaching videos but right now Mar 23 around noon

I know.

And, though I have nothing to back this up, I do think he keeps up with the cutting edge philosophies. And, I'm sure he knows Oats isn't looking for a football S&C coach.

Gene, for the record, Oats wasn't saying in the interview he wanted Scott Cochran to implement his plan for basketball or to go find someone who does the same things he does for S&C. I took it as him saying he wanted to talk with Cochran to see who he knew in the S&C industry that would be good for their basketball program. And the reason why he wanted Cochran's input is that yes, Cochran is one of the most highly regarded S&C coaches in CFB. If you look at his tenure at UA he has adapted with the changing styles of play and athlete that Nick Saban has wanted. Alabama's football players look much different than they did from about 2008-2012.
