    Lather, rinse, repeat.

    If he's so great, let him tear it up at a SJSU-type university and then bring him aboard. The CFB coaching graveyard is riddled with great coordinators turned mediocre head coaches.

    I'd be on board for bringing Nuss back as an OC, he's proven himself there. As for HC, there are other guys that deserve the first shot, namely Mora/DeRuyter. And Tequilla says Saban.

    As much as I think Mora would be THE guy, I don't see it happening. So as long as pool boy is at UW.

    A lot of people need to say no first, but if they did I would take him over a retread fwiw. Throw him in the top 8 candidates or so.

    I vote down Gladstone only because I personally believe that the Pool Boy doesn't have a clue and I'd rather make a change that may not help us as opposed to not make a change that certainly won't help us.

    I like Nuss but how exactly is his resume so good? His offenses finished ranked 69, 96, and 25 at Washington. Sark was calling the plays but we don't have anything else to measure his performance. At Bama his offenses have been ranked 12 and 17, which looks better, but don't forget Alabama has top 5 -top 10 talent so how hard is it get that kind of ranking? (same problem as Sark at USC).
    Im not saying Nuss will necessarily suck as a head coach, but I would prefer someone more proven.

    were the offensive rankings at Bama any better or worse before he got there? I think the passing game was average at best if I remember right but I am too lazy to look it up.

    I'm looking at them right now, and it looks like Alabama has gotten slightly better with Nuss as OC.

    http://espn.go.com/college-football/statistics/team/_/stat/total/sort/totalPointsPerGame

    Alabama 2010: 444 YPG, 35.5 PPG
    Alabama 2011: 430 YPG, 34.8 PPG

    With Nuss
    2012: 444 YPG, 38.7 PPG
    2013: 446 YPG, 38.8 PPG

    I like Nuss and think he deserves a head coaching job, but like others have said it should be at a non BCS school.

  • If Nuss is spotted at Sea-Tac airport will F3 claim that he might be our new OC like he did with Sark?
