I've met and spoke with Coach Neal several times. In fact, just saw him last weekend at a coaching clinic in Phoenix. He's a very likable, entertaining speaker. He (repeatedly) tells a story on how when he was interviewing with Nick Saban, they got into a spirited debate, with each claiming they were the "best DB coach in the country". He's a defensive analyst for UAB, who statistically had one of the best defenses in the country last year. At Oregon, he coached guys like Patrick Chung, Jairus Byrd, and Terrance Mitchell.
I can completely picture him saying this. However, before Fan Boys run with this as some sort of validation for Kellen Moore, realize that he said he thought this from observing Kellen on film, not actually talking to him. I think too many people are falling in love with the idea of Kellen Moore. There is little evidence, if any, that he is ready and worthy of being a NFL offensive coordinator at this stage in his carrier.
