Danny Sheridan (USA Today) is a Moran
Usually, I do not post about what some random radio personality spews over the air, but this display of stupidity and ignorance so breathtaking, I must share it here.
Danny Sheridan was on Paul Finebaum show on ESPN Radio to talk about the coaching changes at Alabama.
Here is the Danny Sheridan's theory on why Saban made the move to Kiffin from Nussmeier; it is because Alabama missed out on Jameis Winston and Nussmeier doesn't know anything about dual threat quarterbacks.
The stupidity does not stop there. Sheridan also says that hiring Kiffin makes sense because Kiffin knows how to recruit and coach dual threat quarterbacks.
You can hear it for yourself here, it is within the first 2 minutes.

First, I think Alabama has done quite well with quarterbacks under Nussmeier. McCarron is going to be drafted in the first round and has been as good a quarterback as any at Alabama in history, with TWO (!!!) National Championships under his belt.
Second, obviously Sheridan has no clue that Nussmeier coached two superior dual threat quarterbacks in Jake Locker and Keith Price at Washington. One is already in NFL (and very successful) and the other is NFL bound.
Third, what duel threat quarterback did Lane Kiffin recruit and coach at USC??? Here are the last 5 starting quarterbacks - Cody Kessler, Matt Barkley, Mark Sanchez, John David Booty, Matt Leinhart. In what universe would somebody look at the list and say the coach for those QB's know dual threat QB's???
I do not understand how someone so transparently dumb has a position with one of the largest newspaper in the country. It just boggles the mind.
I've got a feeling Sheridan will be reacquainted with Nussmeier's acumen with dual threat quarterbacks next year plenty.

Isn't he "the mind" now?
January 14th, 2014 at 5:51 PM ^
Why couldn't you remind me about duel?
January 14th, 2014 at 5:49 PM ^
I'm confused about how you appeared to get the joke but also not get the joke in consecutive posts

I wasnt sure if this was the joke that the OP was refering to or not, so I figured I would cover both fronts and one would get downvoted. And when I realized that the mispelling was intentional it was too late for me to edit my post.

I was sort of listening earlier and Sheridan also said something about how Saban has re-evaluated Alabama and realized the one thing that he needs is solid quarterback play. Apparently, you just can't get that from an A.J. McCarron (with the help of some good coaching and good players around him), by Sheridan's reasoning. I think he even postulated that the Tide's QB situation would be set already if Kiffin had just come to Alabama earlier. I found it hard to listen after this point.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:48 PM ^
If there is one adjective to describe AJ McCarron, it's that he is solid. He's a steady QB. He's not flashy, but he's solid.
It does make you wonder if this Danny Sheridan guy has watched any football lately.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:51 PM ^
Throwing McCarron under the bus as well? Wow, that seems... rather Tide-like.
If it's true that Saban blames OC playcalling and QB play for losses, I hope this all stems from OU's badgering of McCarron during the bowl game. And Saban makes all these changes and the next QB has something less than a perfect game, and they lose and he cries. Because what now?

No, the D gave up no more than 38 points, b/c the last touchdown for OU was an interception or fumble return. Not the D's fault.
And, obviously, it was the OC's fault, b/c I'm sure Nuss called for a fumble that he gameplanned to be returned by the offense, not OU, for a touchdown.

Do all of his duel threat QB's choose swords?
January 14th, 2014 at 5:30 PM ^
I fully expected this to be one of the first comments.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^

USC QBs Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:36 PM ^
Burr to count nine, turn, then fire. It should have resulted in a penalty, but Kiffin was also the referee.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:48 PM ^
Oops! Corrected!!!
January 14th, 2014 at 5:57 PM ^
Now 3/4s of the thread makes no sense.
January 14th, 2014 at 7:07 PM ^
Not so fast!!!! It is still misspelled in the third to last paragraph.
January 14th, 2014 at 6:07 PM ^
I would be a moran if I didn't enjoy a good old fashion quarterback duel.

+1 for use of "Moran"
January 14th, 2014 at 5:31 PM ^
Also if you google the name Danny Sheridan, the first thing that comes up is his website. Which conveniently leads off with,
"Danny Sheridan is the best sports analysis and sports handicapper in the world today."
DANNY LOVES HIM SOME DANNY
[edit - also love the use of "analysis" instead of "analyst"]

HA! Too good.
January 14th, 2014 at 5:33 PM ^
You lost me at Paul Finebaum
January 14th, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
A.J. McCarron is not going to be picked in the first round. Maybe, Maybe the first round. And I would not call Jake Locker very successful. Everything else made sense and I understand your frustration. But guys that write for places like USA today are "click getters". They say outrageous things that they can claim as original. Even if it is idiotic, it will get reads and views.(not sure what you call listening to the radio).

I bet when Finebaum and Sheridan get together at Temple, Finebaum is always bitching about how Sheridan has so many more followers on the Twitter.
