Writeup about why locksley wanted brian

"That's Page 2 of grandma's chocolate chip cookie recipe that I stole from Coach (Nick) Saban," Locksley told CBS Sports before the season started. "Go get guys with an expertise; one man's trash is another man's treasure. Think back to Lane being fired on the tarmac and being hired as an analyst (at Alabama) to where he's at now. Failure isn't final."

"To hire a guy like Brian Ferentz, who has won 10 games a year for the last few years and one of the top rushing attacks in our league, and to be able to get him and his expertise."

"Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, Florida coach Billy Napier, South Alabama coach Major Applewhite and Arkansas State head coach Butch Jones all worked in analyst roles under Saban and rehabilitated their careers on the path to landing head coaching positions."

"...Locksley wanted to understand more of the "why" behind Iowa's running game success under Ferentz, particularly the angles used on outside zone blocking. With a rule change allowing analysts to take a more hands-on approach to coaching, Locksley said Ferentz's presence allowed for younger offensive linemen to get more direct coaching from a veteran coach.

In this case one man's trash is another man's trash.

Brian's not an idiot and knows how to coach offensive linemen. He wasn't anywhere near decent as a coordinator and his dad has the most blame for keeping him there so long.

Are you sure about that?

Stop being a moron. Though it didn’t work out for Brian as an OC, the guy is a good coach and held in high regard by the players he coached .

"Brian....won 10 games a year for the last few years and one of the top rushing attacks in our league...."?

WTF is he talking about??? Brian didn't win shit, was responsible for the worst offense in FBS, and the rushing game absolutely sucked the last 3 years he was here.

Oline is his bread and butter. Makes perfect sense to hire him to help with that.
