We have so much depth at receiver and running back and O-line that have allowed us to be able to do all of these things since I’ve been here.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be shocking to hear a coach compliment the coach before them, saying their success was due to the previous staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which championship do you think Johnson had the biggest impact on? 2008 or 2009? Edited October 11, 2014 by JTrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffin has had five years to build "his" program. You didn't give Holtz that long to build "his" program. Love when people twist things around to conform to their own biased beliefs.
