Oh I agree he’s way overhyped as an offensive tactician…dating back to when Saban booted Kiffin right before the NC game and plopped him in there. And then the Falcons snapped him up immediately afterwards and stuck with him way too long. I remember some Vol fans wishing for him as an OC before Saban finally succeeded in getting him to coordinate under normal circumstances. Regardless of their talent, he put on a clinic that trumped Kiffin and Daboll imo…no hacks there. But talent is no issue at Texas…it’s the culture. He can scheme but there’s way less buy-in without a Saban in the background.
He cost the Falcons that Super Bowl. All he had to do was NOT call pass plays with deep drops that were slow developing and he did just that.
