You hit the nail on the head here. He is young and the youth movement is taking over. Fresh minds that don’t think like the old heads of football. I would venture to guess that there will be plenty of openings by year end and he will get calls. Burrow has been outstanding this year, but let’s not pretend that Emsfinger had anything to do with it. If not for Brady, you’d be running the same offense as last year. I am not emerged in LSU, but can be certain that Brady’s coaching has made Joe a ton better than he ever would have been under Emsfinger. Please don’t tell me this is not true. If not, then Brady holds no value.
What was Bama before Saban? Not a Bama fan, but let me give this a shot. Let’s see...without Saban, Bama would still have more NCs than any other team in the NCAA. Before Saban, Bama was still thought of as a gold standard. Even in down years, people realized they were a sleeping giant and just needed that extra edge. In comes Saban and the rest is history.
Let’s talk LSU from an outsiders perspective. They have 3??? NCs. One before Saban, one with Saban and one with Saban’s recruits. I will go out on a limb and say that they were a middle of the pack SEC team prior to Saban’s arrival and have been good since his departure. LSU has had outlier years of both great and bad since Saban took the Bama job. But, let’s not pretend that LSU is on the same shelf as Bama in the NCAA pecking order. It is not a destination job. Only a few are.
I don’t want this to sound like a knock on you or LSU in general, but your fandom sometimes blinds you. If this was tOSU, USCw or even Tex/ND to a certain degree I might think differently. But, it is not. Those schools are truly destination jobs that many would flock to in order to be a part of the legacy, or the one to bring them back to prominence.
