Nuss believe it or not.. is a good hire. and you have to remember.. he worked under two defensive head coaches.. he's going to work for Mac now.. and it will be Macs Offense.. not Nuss's.. and I dare say Mac will control a little more of the game plan and overall design of the offense than Nuss will.
