Click here for linkMOBILE, Ala. -- Doug Nussmeier isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel at Alabama.
Yes, he’s a former record-breaking college quarterback who likes to throw the ball around. And, yes, he wants to use AJ McCarron to the best of his abilities. When he talks about the depth and talent at wide receiver, his eyes light up.
There’s a plan formulating in the newly minted Alabama offensive coordinator’s mind, but it’s not one bent on overturning the offensive philosophy that has won the Crimson Tide two national championships in three seasons.
For as much as Nussmeier salivates over the quarterbacks and receivers, he’s shown as much interest in running backs, tight ends and the offensive line.
“When you look at the base premise of playing good offensive football, the way Saban has done it over time,” Nussmeier explained, “you look at the ability to run the football and the ability not to turn the football over. Those are obviously two key elements to winning football games.”
Then he smiled widely and continued with a heavy dose of sarcasm in his raspy, dry voice: “And then we won’t do anything new at all. It will be the same exact plays as last year. We’ll just change the order we ran them in.”
You gotta love the guy.
This pretty much characterizes what Jamos posted.
