Danny Sheridan (USA Today) is a Moran

Submitted by Gameboy on

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.

the "beat writer" for the Titans was interviewed over the phone and started bad mouthing Ken Whisenhunt.  Said he wasn't head couch material, but would make a good position coach. 

I yelled at the TV: "hey, Richard Cranium* - have you ever been to the Super Bowl as a head coach?"  effin beat writers: hate their lives so much they have to trash talk successful people just to feel good.

ESPN had the "obligation" to play this "news worthy" interview again on their next segment.  Stay classy, Bristol!

McCarron is a senior and Nuss worked at Bama just these last two years. It's not like McCarron spent his whole career under Nuss.

When are people going to get over this coaching change. I've never seen this much coverage of a offensive coordinator. Even though there is a hundred different coaching changes every year for a hundred different reasons. Who cares, move on.
