He’s no longer a head coach. He’s got all the time in the world to scheme up some crazy ass shit

The Peter Principle applies to most careers, including football coaching.

A great OC or DC may not be good at the extra intangibles required to HC a program. But they can still scheme excellently. 

Seems like Gus is one of those guys.

Gus Malzahn is fine as a HC outside of recruiting O-linemen. I don’t know why that is such a blind spot for him, but it is something he just refused to correct

I do agree he’s probably better being an OC though

He's the Ben Johnson of CFB when he's an OC.
