Hopefully he brings some creative ideas to the offence. It is hard to judge what he did at Alabama, I would run all day with their D and RBs too. I like he has been a part of New Englands system. 

 

I am also glad we got him before NE brought him back after McDaniels leaves. 

And with their crappy QB. The frosh looks pretty good, though I hate to admit it.

is he another run first OC? If so nothing really changes..

 

look at the playoffs. you need to throw the ball to win in this league. 

Yes he has been but that’s kind of a function of the QBs he has had. His offense was 32nd in Cleveland.

hopefully he is willing to change his run first offense b/c that won't work in todays NFL 

 

I think he will. There is no point of running a pass first offence at Alabama. They win championships by running the football and playing defence.

Alabama had a top-five offense in nearly every category, but he does seem to be more of a ground and pound kind of guy. He will have great insight on the upcoming Qb class, though. 

 

 

...was hoping more for a chuck 'n duck aerial show......and I just personally loathe ANYTHING to do with Saint Nick (strictly opinion)......

He inherited the bama job. Little experience.  Not a good hire in my opinion.  Def a money move.  I thought ken dorsey was the right guy.  We need passing focused offense ccordinator, not another run guy.  

Wha?

Does anyone read his bio first?

If you want to see how his offense runs, you need to watch the 2nd half of the national championship.

 

The whole season he was holding back because Hurts was horrible.

 

Here is a quote from an article:

 

Daboll spent the year trying to maximize the personnel at his disposal. He developed a six-man receiver rotation that included three freshmen -- Jeudy, DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III. He worked in the tight ends as much he could. He created an egalitarian arrangement among the running backs.

But everything led back to Hurts, the quarterback who never really matured into a great passer.

 

That became evident in the national championship game, when he was benched after completing only three of eight pass attempts for 21 yards during the first half. 

Explaining the move, Saban said, "We needed a spark."

In stepped Tua Tagovailoa, the freshman from Hawaii. Just like that, the complexion of the offense and the game changed. It was as if the restrictor plates from Daboll's scheme had been removed. There were play-action bombs, shallow crosses and passes directed to all areas of the field. Tagovailoa connected with nine different players and helped Alabama gain 277 yards following halftime after it accumulated 94 before then.

Yolo--you posted in another thread that you know him, correct?  Can you repost that here?  It was an interesting read.

Bio says he was born in Canada.  Is an owner allowed to own American professional teams in two different sports and have a Canadian coordinator?

Then Ken Dorsey was not that guy...
