Stop the insanity.
That's like me saying Jack Kiser had more impact than Michael Stonebreaker because he's played in more games than anyone in ND history.
Book was here way too long. It messed up our QB cycle.
Between the pair???
Book was more accurate with the 3 yard curl and sit route.
Riley can make short passing an adventure.
Neither have a strong arm. No advantage there.
Riley is a far better runner.
The running back room today is much better collectively than when Book was here.
We have 3 backs that could be an elite #1 at any major school.
Book didn't enjoy a collective RB room like we have today.
The collective coaching is better today than under Brian Kelly. The very coach who is still looking for a major bowl/post season win....Brian Kelly...
He and his staff are not as good as what we have today.
Assistants to philosophy...
Present day coaching is much better.
Under BK the biggest of moments/opponents had us highly overwhelmed.
Freeman seems to get them to rally at the importance of these moments.
Something sadly missed since Holtz' days.
MF might be a defensive minded guy but he fully understands that Golden is coaching in a league of his own. Thus he isn't getting his nose involved in the defense.
Kudos to MF for checking his pride at the door.
BK, actually played linebacker, somehow could never help himself but be involved in all things QB. Even having a separate OC and QB coach, still had his fingers all intertwined in the QB position.
We are a better team under MF than BK. Better coaching, better staff, better emotion and most importantly, better players.
Riley, overall, is playing better than Book. That said, Riley is enjoying a better environment.
