Bobo might be a clown but he will beat South Carolina's bozo asses.

I suppose that's why Brian Kelly tried to bring Rees with him to LSU as OC.

Details why Tommy Rees chose Nick Saban over Brian Kelly in SEC jump
As you know by now, former Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees left his post to take the same position on Nick Saban’s staff a week ago. It wasn’t the former Notre Dame quarterback’s first chance to head to the SEC as Brian Kelly tried to make Rees his offensive coordinator when taking the LSU job last year.
So a year later, why was Rees willing to get on a plane and head to Tuscaloosa after saying no to the Bayou? Pete Sampson of The Athletic joined the Paul Finebaum Show and discussed exactly that. Sure, money had some to do with it, but as Notre Dame fans know, the freedom to do what he wanted was a factor, too.
“And I think that once the sort of, finances got taken off the board, then it was a question of ‘Well I can go with Brian Kelly and basically be the same coach I’ve been for the last five years at Notre Dame. Just with different colors. Or I can stay at Notre Dame, even though it’s the same place, and do a different job,’” Sampson said on “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Tuesday. “Because, suddenly, he had autonomy under a defensive head coach with Marcus Freeman. And I think that Rees really got to flex a little bit last season in some spots.”
Under Kelly, who himself has a background as an offensive coach, Rees didn’t get to really get his hands fully around running the offense.
“When you’re an offensive coordinator for an offensive head coach, you’re sort of — you’re not quite the full coordinator, some times. And I think that Rees got a taste of that last season, under Marcus Freeman. So ultimately that was why he decided to stay. But I think it’s also the reason he decided to leave, the professional development question,” Sampson said.
If Rees truly does want to be coaching in the NFL one day then learning under Nick Saban is a good way to potentially do it. That and the five-star talent his roster will be loaded with that would probably make you and I both look like decent play callers and offensive minds, too.

The real question is can Bobo score more than 12 pts per game. If so, the D will do the rest

Very very long message. You must be concerned and insecure about the situation.

This might be true. Kelly is an offensive coach and is more hands on on that side of the ball than Saban is. But here's something to consider:
2021 (with Kelly): Total offense #20/Scoring offense #18
2022 (without Kelly): Total offense #60/Scoring offense #42

I don't think it matters when you can out-talent everyone you play. Bama and Georgia's teams are nothing but 5*'s. No one else has that. I could call plays for them and still win.

Bobo is the only current SEC OC to ever average over 40 per game in an SEC season…

But you’re big bad Bama and we’re just little old LSU. You should be getting the best of the best of the best right? And you’re not anymore bro. Reese and Bobo scare no one. And it’s true. BK left them a loaded team and the O was worse after Reese took over.

As late as August of 2022, this forum was convinced Monken sucked as an OC.

That's worth acknowledging. Doesn't matter if Kelly were to bring in the NEXT Joe Brady, he has a good idea what he wants to do with the offense, and will make that happen.
Saban has always deferred to the OC, once he let them open it up. His instinct has been to go conservative, and rely on defense (and superior talent) to win. I don't think that gets you a title nowadays.

Secrant was never scared of monken. Stetson Bennett. Ladd mcconkey. AD Mitchell. Kenny McIntosh. Kendall Milton. Daijun edwards.
Never scared of Todd monken. Mike Bobo. Stacey Searles. Brian Mcclendon. Dell McGee. Todd Hartley.
Never scared of Glenn Schumann. Will muschamp. Tray Scott. Fran Brown.
The bulldawgs take that lack of fear and turn it into fuel. No one expects us to win with Mike Bobo as OC. LSU fans say we are in trouble implying we will be a <.500 team (like LSU after their last national championship).
I love these troll threads. Clip em. Bookmark em. Share them with a friend.

Alabama's offenses haven't been too bad under Saban as of late:
2022: Total Offense #11/Scoring Offense #4
2021: Total Offense #7/Scoring Offense #6
2020: Total Offense #4/Scoring Offense #2
2019: Total Offense #6/Scoring Offense #2
2018: Total Offense #6/Scoring Offense #3

That's true. So why did you get rid of the last guy?

Because his offenses would peter out at the worst possible moments in critical situations. He also didn't know how to scheme wide receivers open to save his life, something his predecessor (Steve Sarkisian) turned into a science.

How much was a scheme problem?
How much was... they just aren't as fast as the previous guys?

The vast majority of it was a scheme problem. You had two or three receivers running patterns into the same area on the field on some of those plays last year.
Jim McElwain could scheme open the likes of Darius Hanks and Brad Smelley, guys you have never heard of but who were instrumental to the passing game in those early Saban years. They lacked speed but the patterns they ran and the hot routes they utilized allowed them to get open when they needed to get open.
