http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/29/offensive-innovator-chris-ault-leaves-nevada-could-head-to-nfl/ "...Ault is an innovative offensive mind who created a modified shotgun offense that he calls the "pistol," and he has a lot of admirers among the NFL coaching ranks. Those admirers include 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who traveled to Nevada to learn from Ault and has started employing a lot of Ault's concepts in the 49ers' offense, run by one of Ault's former quarterbacks, Colin Kaepernick...." Interesting, wonder what kind of role he might be interested in.

I would LOVE to see Roman accept a HC position in the college ranks and Ault come on in as OC.

I don't. Im sick of the pistol offense. I would rather have us run a real offense that actually works

No more college offensive coordinators.

They can certainly add in elements of it of course, I wouldn't mind Ault as an offensive assistant. Maybe bring in Pat Shurmur as the offensive coordinator and allow him and Ault to have a pow-wow and find ways to blend the WCO and Pistol together.

I guess if Ault wanted to learn how to run an NFL offense he might be interested. But more likely he's just going to go for a bigger name school imo. I like Pat Shurmer but I think he gets another opportunity to be a HC very soon (kind of like Turner except Shurmur's a better coach)
