Sounds ALOT like Applewhite back in the beginning.

Not only him, but more specifically Bo Davis.

Michigan's infographic on Nuss.

I don't harbor any ill will towards Nuss, but the offense didn't seem the same. I'm not crying because he's gone.

Something else worth noting.

Nuss had a press conf. Did he have one when he was announced at Alabama?

Defining statement on the state of Michigan football.

the first time i heard him speak was the National Championship celebration in 2012.

No problem with Nuss as a whole, but we got away from who we are in our play calling in the bowl game. I also did not like all the soft coverage on defense that had us dying the death of a thousand.cuts in the first.half.

He spoke pre-season 2012/213 and spoke before the National Championship game and before the Sugar Bowl.

That's my count as well Birdman37, 4 times.

I don't remember him doing a presser for the hire, which gives you some insight into Michigan (Terry caught what I was insinuating).

How short is Hoke's leash?

Nussmeier asked if he’d have more “freedom” at U-M than Bama. No direct answer: “Part of coming here was [Hoke & I] being on the same page.”

That's kind of odd. It sounds like Nussmeier is indirectly saying that he had little to no control over the offense while at Alabama. It paints the picture that Saban is a bit of a control freak. That's not a great thing, but you can't argue with the results though.

Saban is a control freak?!

Captain obvious over here.

Nope.

The story about what that says is told in this thread. You'd have to spend some time following each guy to understand what it tells even with Applewhite on the TX staff.

 

[alabama mike]

If he is so interested in control, he should be a head coach. Oh wait, he didn't get the job. :shake:

 

[ElephantStomp]

It's not like Saban just became known to the world, so Nussy knew what type of coach Saban was.

If Nussy thinks Meeechigan is a better job than Alabama then by golly go have fun playing for a mediocre team while our new OC is collecting rings

Old Timer, your posts show either a calculated attempt at obliviousity, or you have no life experience outside Texas. I won't try to figure out which one.

RTR,

Combination of both and a bad case of headupassitis.

And speaking of obvious, is there anything that you post that isn't obviously insulting to the person to whom has a different opinion that you? Is this how you are in person, because if it is I don't see how you would be able to function effectively and graciously with other people of different backgrounds than yourself.

Bird is good people. You have to understand you came onto this board and began by saying over and over how Texas was getting Saban and that Texas has enough money that it can buy whatever it wants and how great Texas this and how great Texas that....this is an Alabama board as you may have noticed, so having somebody come to said Alabama board and stand on a mountain screaming how great Texas is and how they have this and that can and has rubbed some people on here the wrong way
