Here's a little secret, SOS's system had never been seen before, not in the SEC. No one knew how to defend it and no other coach liked to rub the opposing teams nose in the **** as much as SOS did. SOS's system did not transate into the pro's and didn't do well at USC for the first years either. I think he went 7-5 year one and 8-5 year two.
BN will get it right. I would not be a fan if I thought he was going to try and make the SEC come to him and play like whatever league he came from.
If we add a creative OC and an on field ST coach, we might very well be undefeated. He's smart, he see's it. UM was his own ST coach, BN doesn't have than drive in him yet but it will develop.
We are loaded next year and giving some of the current young studs valuable playing time. BN will right the ship by years end but to do so is going to require a player or two to step up and want it. You can not coach desire. Mertz I think has a whole lot more in him than is given credit. Our OL sukks, we knew that coming into the season but we have flashed some great perforamnces so far. Look at how dominating our D will benext year or by the end of this year even. Bright lites, huge crowds on the national stage is a hard thing to get comfortable with.
