“We want to see some things recruiting-wise, how they do things,” Patterson said via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “You don’t just learn Xs and Os from people. You’re trying to learn things on a lot of different levels.”

In return, Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and his father have been looking at the characteristics of the uptempo offense TCU installed for 2014 with great success (Yes, we still remember Nick Saban's comments about tempo and player safety). The Horned Frogs only lost to Baylor en route to a 12-1 season.

Sounds like an interesting trade-off.

To me it sounds as if they being TCU, want to pick up on defense. CNS wants to learn how to evaluate the Hurry Up Offense. Coach patterson and CNS must be respectful of each other. Good deal I would think. RTR!

This is not unusual. Coaches help each other and share trade secrets more than any of us know. This has been going on for a long time. I was extremely happy Texas Coach Darrell Royal offered a little advice to Coach Bryant back in about 1971.

I had heard of Coach Bryant and Coach Royal talking and even Coach John McKay of USC when Coach Bryant called him and talk to him. I didn't know this went on today. RTR!

Coach Bryant was friends with John McKay but he did not talk to him about the wishbone. Coach Royal helped Coach Bryant install the wishbone offense but it was kept very quiet. No one was more surprised than John McKay. USCw was our first game of the year and we upset them.
