There will be a new coach soon, and we will see how that goes. The program is only dead if we, as fans, give up on it. If that is the choice you have made, so be it. If you are selling your tickets to try to send a message or are actively rooting for the opposition, time to take a look in the...

Let's talk college football. After week one, how would people fill in the blanks? No qualifiers necessary, but certainly welcomed. Here are mine. Most Impressive Team: Michigan. That offense will be tough to stop. Most Disappointing Team: Illinois. Zook is done after this year unless...

I don't know what he will choose, but any choice other than Minnesota would be ho-hum. I keep coming back to this.

The new USC hire makes me laugh, as it forced me to think about individual programs' perceptions of themselves vs. what others actually think of them. In particular, I think about Notre Dame's recent hiring process. Lane Kiffin would not have gone to Notre Dame, and USC would not have hired...

Lane Kiffin to USC. Wow.

Someone in a post below said that The Spread "is not a complete offense." This is a true statement, but probably not for the reason the poster had in mind. The reason it was an accurate statement is that the spread is not an offense. If anything, it is a mentality. The idea is to "spread"...

I get the sense that people will actually be upset if the team does well next year because they dislike Brewster. Is that really the case? Am I wrong for thinking that this is completely insane?

A head coach is a recruiter and a face for the program. He catches more heat than the assistants, and he gets paid for it. That's about it. There is actually very little "coaching" done by head coaches. The coordinators are the ones who call the plays and run the offense & defense. Those...

Beyond starting Gray, which you have made abundantly clear, please explain your solution.

I have been a steadfast "trust the coaches" guy, and I will probably remain so. That being said, I will be very surprised if we don't see more Whaley this game and this season. He runs with a purpose and his runs seem to have a "sense of urgency" to them. I am very impressed with his sunning...

It seems as though lots of people "know" what the coaches should have done in a lot of situations. That made me wonder: Who here actually coaches? Who has played football beyond high school?

I love reading this board the day after a loss, because I get a laugh at the stock-standard posts. 1.) Terrible playcalling. 2.) Head Coach needs to get it done...or else! 3.) Our QB can't get the job done. 4.) I'm sick of excuses! 5.) Our fanbase sucks. 6.) (Insert previous coach's name...

I have a serious question: Do people really think that just running the ball a ton rather than reacting to the situations presented by the game will help the team win, given the offensive system they run? Caveat: "Because that's what good teams do," "That's what it takes to win in the Big...

Overrated? Who the hell has them even rated?

Acknowledging the fact that it is way too early to know anything for certain, who wants to take a stab at the depth chart given what we know (very little) about the new guys? Think of it as our own preseason poll- an educated guess at best.

who asked me about Don Brown (UMass head coach)? He just became the DC at Maryland.

I love that people are getting all bent out of shape right now. Seriously- I love it. It means expectations have changed greatly. -We now expect to get Army All-Americans (6 of 11 Big Ten teams didn't have any) -We now expect to get UnderArmour All-Americans (5 of 11 Big Ten teams don't have...

Love 'em or hate 'em, USC is smooooooth out there. Pretty impressive across the board. The offense makes 2nd and long look like child's play, the defense makes 3rd and short seem like no big deal, and the kicker puts the ball out of the endzone with ease. Some day, some day...

Does anyone have a complete list of the 1-A coach firings (to date)? Thanks in advance.
