Obviously, Venables had a great defensive game plan for that game, and yesterday, but a great defensive game plan doesn't really make a difference if the players can't execute.

Nick Saban yesterday in the post-game interview regarding the 4th down FG fake said as much ... he was like "..because we missed a block it was a terrible play call, it always happens like that.." insinuating that if simply a block was made and the fake was converted nobody would be talking about how bad of a play call it was, only how great of a play call it was.

He did not have elite talent for that game nor season, though. Ben Boulware was the star of that defense and he isn't even in the league anymore. The only two defensive players drafted from that team were Carlos Watkins and Cordrea Tankersley.

 

Meanwhile, Ohio State was shut out with Curtis Samuel, JT Barrett, Pat Eflein, and Billy Price on their offense.

He just got a 5 year 11.5 million dollar deal. If it was about money for him he would have left for a job a long time ago and already had his pick of any number of decent HC jobs.

2 million a year to not have to deal with the managing the whole team, the media, etc. etc. is pretty fugin fantastic for anyone. If all you want to do is be a DC and still make bank then there is no problem. Some people want to do what they are good at and what they like to do. It'd actually be better for football overall if more people followed this.

Rivera for example should still just be a DC. Some people aren't HC material and take it for the money and fail out when they were never a great HC candidate anyway.

Dude doesn't like to lose....so his current position is ideal for him.  Not to mention, I think he's one of the highest paid coordinators in all of college football.  Basically has it made currently and don't think he wants to leave.

Dudes making lower level nfl head coach money. Like 2.5 million a year.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
