Personally I am not really down on him so much as I am on the administration I'll reserve judgment till after he fills his staff, recruits a class, and coaches a season. His resume looks decent and while people say he rides Kelly's coattails at least he kept it going and Kelly in reality was riding Dantonio's at Cincy.

In reality there are maybe 3-4 sure fire homerun hires in college football- Saban, Meyer, and probably the Kellys after that every hire is a gamble.


Also I was all set to pick Cal as my school. Now I don't know that is ewwwwwwwwwwwww

So when you pick another school, does that mean I don't have to see you dogging the Vols week after week? Sweet!

The best hires are the ones that match the coach to the identity the school wants for it's team. Urbz was a perfect fit for Florida when they hired him because it fit the big time and still unique offense we got used to in the 90's and wanted back after the Zook years. Muschamp though seems like a good hire because he is the exact opposite of that approach that seemingly had run it's course in the league.

I think Jones well do well for UT. He was in the final 3 for UNC last year (Fedora, Sumlin, Jones) and Bubba Cunningham's (our AD) top priority was to bring in a coach who would have a high octane offense. If Bray/Patterson/Hunter stay (forget what year they are), Jones should be able to throw out a high-scoring offense. Also, looks like UT has given him quite the comp package to assemble a top-notch staff, so he should be able to have great coordinators around him.

Of course not. And to be fair I never dogged anyone but Dooley and Sal.

I think this is true. Its is also why I think Gus and Jones might end up being better hires in the long run than Bielema at Arkansas. None of these schools are going to be able to out do LSU/Bama/UF at their own game they will never be able to match the talent year in and year out so they need to do something unique to try and give them an advantage. Gus will surely do that with his offense and Jones coming from Meyer and Rich Rod will too. Bielema is going to line up and try to play big 10 football against LSU and Bama every year? Not happening.

Thanks Jerry Brown/obama.

Doesn't look bad actually, except for using ucla's wimpy colors.

Thankfully that's system wide and doesn't apply to Berkeley per se, so their helmet/uni colors shouldn't be in danger. Cal needs to go back to their classic jersey/helmet though.

Eh, I could see how it would get a little busy given the design at smaller sizes. But it's a pretty flimsy excuse especially considering what they wasted their money on.

The other point about it basically being more accessible is just someone getting a little too carried away from their marketing/branding education.

Golden Domers are chickenshit!!
So have any of Cal's various overly-PC groups petitions their new football coach to change his name? I can't believe that a coach with the last name of "Dykes" is going to win many friends on that campus.

The Hell you say, many lefty (I can't think of right wing lesbians to be honest) lesbians refer to themselves as dykes all the time. Its a thing.

Why this is the first photo that pops up in Google Images for Sonny Dykes I don't understand.

I think they view it as reclaiming a slur or something. But I doubt anyone is gonna give Dykes a hard time because of his surname

I really hope this Switzer quote on Bielema is real.

http://forums.the-ozone.net/messages/539743.html
The first thing I heard today was that he grew up on a pig farm. That's quite a start in my book. And my last memory was watching him hang 70 on Nebraska. Just those two facts are enough. Then, I hear that he's out of the Hayden Fry-Bill Snyder-Barry Alvarez coaching tree. Oh, that's enough for me to like a lot. Then, I hear he's got a 27-year-old wife. Okay, we can stop. I like him.

If you turn on ESPN Georgia Southern is playing. Dominique Swope went to my high school, he was a freshman my senior year.

Alabama fans might remember Swope, he ran for 153 yards and a touchdown against them last year.

Triple option vs spread, fun watching. Are the DI-AA playoffs 8 or 16 teams?
Click to expand...

Edit:

FCS, this year is 20 teams and will be expanding to 24 teams in 2013.

Top 4 seeds get a bye the first round; in 2013 they will now play in the first round because of the addition of 4 more teams.

That's not quite right either, the top 12 teams get a "bye" the first week during the play in games.
