[QUOTE="Techster, post: 861954, member: 360"] His reputation for dealing with players coming out of ND wasn't the best, so it was REALLY good to hear the effort he put into reaching out to the guys on the team, flying down to visit Sims and his family, and the emphasis he's putting on spending time with the guys as they're working in the weightroom. His comments on Sims was interesting though. Sims is "the guy" for now, but there was a subtle shift to "competition" at all spots including QB. His offense and most likely the jobs of this staff will be heavily dependent on what happens with the development of the QBs...especially Sims. I like his emphasis on toughness and physicality. I think this in line with what Brent Key does best: coach absolute maulers. It really sounds like Long will be independent of any CGC directives to make the offense "recruiting friendly" as rumors suggest that Patenaude was directed to curtail a portion of his offense to fit a recruiting narrative. I think some people are over analyzing his time at Tulane. Long is a very good OC. I don't think we'll get Memphis and ND offensive results next year, but I do think we'll see enough to know that this offense is a P5 level offense. A good coach is a good coach. Long is a good coach. If he flips the offense into a top 30 offense, expect him to be in the conversation for other jobs. If we have a top 30 offense, CGC will most likely have his first bowl appearance at GT. [/QUOTE]
