Alabama OC Doug Nussmeier to Michigan

SaintLeonard · 01-08-2014, 09:16 PM

As a Wolverine fan, I am incredibly happy with this hire. He's an upgrade over Al Borges in every way possible.

We really hit a home run here, imo!

He better be. They're paying him a lot to money to leave Bama.

but money means nothing in college. Having unpaid labor maximizes profits

New OC, new QB should be interesting for 'bama. Might only win 10

Thats just amazing to me. Put 7 guys in the pros every year, projected to lose 8 this year, lose the winningest QB in Alabama history, lose our OC, and we might only win 10 games.

Thats awesome.

And lose to Oklahoma, no less!

Or perhaps win a 4th National Championship in a 6 year span.

Lane Kiffin will be one of the front runners for the Bama OC position.

Hard to say whether or not he was a good OC or not. He was working with superior talent and Alabama and the name "Nick Saban" pretty much recruits itself. I don't expect to see the same Nussmeier at Alabama in Michigan. Nick Saban is more conservative and influential in how Bama's offense was run. So while he was running his offense, I'm guessing it had it's limitations on how it was ran.

So while there's plenty of name recognition to Michigan's hire, it not really a loss to Bama and how he performs in Ann Harbor remains to be seen.
