kchusker_chris Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 A lot of the talent that Callahan had, didn't translate into his system. He probably did have far more talent that he was made out to have, but talent doesn't necessarily translate into production when you're going from an option to pro-style offense. Dailey was talented, but didn't produce. Quote Link to comment

Dailey was talented, but didn't produce. most of callahan's inherited talent was on defense. the offensive guys may have been somewhat better off in the old scheme, but outside of cory ross, herian and maybe a couple of the linemen, there just wasn't much talent there period. i certainly don't think dailey would have been good in any system. he was quick, but he wasn't a particularly effective runner. he did have to play with a pretty awful line in front of him, which is amazing considering the OL guru we had for a coach.
