    No, a poke at Bobby Pruett. He was there for both, "The Choke at Doak" and "The Fiasco at the Fiesta". Hoke was after Bob Stoops.

    I think every coach has to evolve and tweak all the components of their team, including staff and players. Saban mastered this like no other coach, even when his coaches got poached he hardly skipped a beat. I think BN has shown potential and we don't know yet if he can take a team to the pinnacle and keep it there. I am enjoying the process in spite of it going more slowly than some would desire. Count me in the camp of believing "Napier may need more changes". I'm hoping he decides to hire an OC, but am I sure that we can't succeed without one? I would have to answer no. If Napier can correct his clock management and other game management gaffes (such as getting the right number of players with unique numbers onto the field), he could be fine. But I can agree that handing the play calling off to an OC might be helpful to that end and also could result in a more productive offense.

    Oops, my bad. So Spurrier said, "Pruett can't do it."

    He did well at Marshall, but we got humiliated 2 years in a row when he was DC.
