Joe Bob has been a successful coach at the Power 5 level for many years. Nardo has been an average coach at

Thank Goodness Nardo has signed on the line that is dotted. I'm sure he was Nick Saban's next phone call.

Analysts can't coach. How is that gonna get you a 3-3-5 defense?

Maybe not, because you have ALL the answers.
