i read a story in the last week about Kirby, when he was the Bama DC, calling Herman after Ohio State beat them and asking what the Buckeyes did.
I thought, dude, you're the coach. Figure that shit out.
(paraphrasing an old story PJ told me from his days as the Ga Southern OC when they played Northern Iowa and UNI's head coach coached from the press box. As they took the elevator down to the field at the end of the game, the UNI head coach, Darrell Mudra, who also once coached FSU, said I told them if they stayed in that defense they were gonna get burned. PJ said to me, I thought, dude, you're the head coach. You can tell them to get the hell out of it.)
