He is a guy leaving LSU because he wants complete control of the offense without head coach meddling. He wants to share no control.  He isn't coming here.

He's known for building a system around players, and not forcing players into his.

His Wisconsin offense with Montee Ball looked totally different than his Pitt offense with Nate Peterman. And his Pitt offense looked different than what he did with Guice at Lsu.

Anyone who can get Danny freaking Etling with 14 Tds to 2 ints is good by me. Okorn was 2 tds to 6 ints and 5 fumbles(1 lost) in case you needed that depressing reminder.

Not trying to be negative here..only trying to see things objectively, but why would canada be a homerun hire if brought on? Hes had success, but I have read some negative things about him too.

Please go get Matt Canada. He would be the home run hire, at least in my opinion. Greg Roman has NFL experience and I think Harbaugh tried to get him in Ann Arbor because he was familiar with him. I just like what Matt Canada brings to the table as a creative Pro-Style mind.

a few times, A TON of motion, sometimes 3 different guys would motion, sometimes back and forth.  Wasn't very impressed but 3 or 4 times per game it would really put the defense in a bind and they'd get a big play out of it.

 It was about giving defenses lots to digest and looks while trying to create a mismatch, that once in a while they'd take advantage.  Harbaugh does the same without all the wild motion.
