Every position on your offense has a higher rated kid out of highschool than ND

He’s a ND man. If he wants to be head coach at the school he graduated from he had to get experience from top coaches away from home.
He will do just fine at Bama.

Why not bring up the saban guys who have fallen flat on their face?
Because they're practically non-existent? He's only had 8 previous OC's at Alabama.
Major Apple white- became Asst. HC at Texas, then HC at Houston
Doug Nussmeir - no HC, but has had steady work as QB coach in the NFL
Jim McElwain - HC at Colorado State, HC at Florida
Lane Kiffin - HC at Ole Miss
Brian DaBoll - HC in NFL
Mike Locksley - HC at Maryland
Steve Sarkisian - HC at Texas
Bill O'Brien - OC in NFL

so you go back to the 80's?
That's like saying "where are all of bear's underlings coaching today"?
bama fans can suck saban's dick all you want. His coaching tree leaves a lot to be desired. Thoe are just the facts.
Just because a coach stops by for a few years does not make them part of "the coaching tree" of said HC. bama fans used to "claim" Jimbo. I noticed you have stopped. The truth of the matter.........the entire time Jimbo is from the Bowden coaching tree.

No it isn't. No one is off limits especially if they are dead. Why should they be?

Are you going to deny that being at Alabama under Saban helped get them those jobs? Saban can't go along with them to each destination, they're on their own. Each of them had their career enhanced, and most of them made a lot of money off their opportunities. The majority of college assistant coaches are never as successful as any of those coaches were.
ETA: For Lane Kiffin to be so overated, he was AU's first choice for their last HC vacancy, they must be poor evaluators, huh?

hell yes I am.
A lot of the coaches mentioned were HC's previously. The NFL guys were NFL OC's and an NFL HC before they got to bama. Hell, both NFL guys are from the Belichik tree.......not the saban tree and neither got another NFL opportunity because of saban.
ETA kiffin was a college HC.......then an NFL HC.........then a college HC again before saban. Do you really think it was because of saban that he got another opportunity to be a college HC?

Probably the talent difference.
But let's be honest here. Much greater chance of failure at Bama (in terms of making the fans happy) than at Notre Dame.
He's gonna be expected to make the offense better with it losing the best QB in Bama history. I know there's some excitement about the guy we haven't seenk as much as opposed to the guy we have seen a lot (always the case when the guy we have seen a lot didn't look good), but that probably means these guys aren't near Mac, Tua or Jalen level either.

How's Kirby doing, frickstick?
Or is he not from the Saban tree either?
The same could be said about Belichik's coaching tree.
Al Groh, Romeo Crennel, Jim Scwartz, Eric Mangini, Matt Patricia... Not exactly a list of Hall of Famers there.

that's not the point. "claiming" somebody is from a certain "coaches tree", because they stopped in for a few years and are having success, is absurd.
Saban has a shitty coaching tree. He is an outstanding HC. It is what it is. Getting all bent out of shape because it's pointed out is comical as hell.

He’s more likely to get a head coaching job if Alabama’s offense looks good.
Posted on 2/4/23 at 11:19 am to BLG
If Rees just does okay at bama, hes an automatic head coach candidate in P5 or nfl oc. if he does okay at nd, he stays put or even gets fired.
he knows ND is a sinking ship now that Brian Kelly left.

Yes, I really think it, along with about every person that is connected to college sports in any fashion. If you're saying working for Saban didn't contribute to his getting a HC spot later, you're delusional. The same is true with Sarkisian (even more so). Both benefitted with their time with Saban from a resume standpoint. It never hurts to have been associated with a winning program. It's undeniable, Kiffin has even acknowledged it, as has Sarkisian. No one had ever heard of Jim McElwain until Saban hired him, and then he was HC at two D1 schools. You say that Kiffin is overrated, but your school tried to hire him as HC just months ago. You are either blinded by hate, or are just trolling.

What's the promised land for these young coordinators? Head Coach.
These young bucks do their homework. When you spend 10 minutes outside this rant slug-pond you find out in a hurry how people view our program.
Even a lot of ND fans didn't blame Rees for taking the opportunity to play for the GOAT. They just hope he goes home as HC someday when he's learned what coach Saban can teach.
