^ then you shouldnt give two shits about Sitake, right?
My bigger point would be, mich is gonna go back to the spread? That is just about perfect. 100 years of power football, then (Sea Change, RichRod, burn the ships when you reach the new continent) for 4 years, then return to power football for 4 years, then back to the spread. _________________ Is President Obama a Keynesian?
Huh? Hell yea I care about Sitake. Great coach, great recruiter. I think he's the heir apparent to Whit. Second most important coach on staff, though I don't want the 7th(8th?) OC in as many years either.
Whit would be GREAT running the ball, he's far from locked into the spread.
My perception, and granted this is from a distance, is that Utah went away from the spread with Andy Ludwig when Whit first took over for Urb and have gravitated back to spread.
Edit* i googled 2006 Utah Football and watched highlights of thr Armed Forces bowl. Looks like they were running spread(at least single back shotgun) which is very different than what Ludwig did at Oregon a couple years earlier. Which makes me wonder if it was Whits instruction to keep the spread. _________________ Is President Obama a Keynesian?

REMAIN CALM. I am now getting some chatter to the effect that Harbaugh is coming, pending t-crossing and i-dotting. None of it is from a source I would consider rock solid, and all of it comes with an ominous "barring a last second change of heart" disclaimer. Please remain calm.
a&m better hurry up w/ those assistant coaching hires. they're running out of potential defensive coordinator options and they need to make a splash there.

Houston's a big city. It takes a while to screen all those coaches.
if you're going to take the uh dc (whose name escapes me), you've got to wait til after the bowl game. they don't play til jan 2. it's not like you haven't gone after like 6 other guys so far. i'll say this - if you end up w/ manny diaz, i'm going to lmao.

The longer A&M waits to hire their DC, the more I'm going to freak out. Bud Foster has a huge annuity that he gets paid if he's still at VT at the end of the month. Aka he's not leaving until after the bowl game. If A&M has really locked him up, that would explain why all is quiet for now. I'll lose it if Bud leaves.

I have no idea who has been offered and what the plan is. I was joking because we/they mostly hire out of Houston.
the most obvious choice right now is the dc at uh, who is now the temp coach w/ the levine firing. he actually had a pretty salty defense this year, but i have no clue how that will transfer to a&m/$ec!$ec!$ec! it's definitely not the splash hire they were looking for, but there's not many splash hires left.

RT @BSwinneyScout Per @KevinGrahamWEEI, Sitake and Tuiaki to #OregonState is done. Kevin's source on this is rock solid. Huge loss for Utes

Dave Christensen to TAMU as run game coordinator and OLine coach. Though I'm not excited at another OC(like 8th in 8 years), word is that Dave was a cancer to the staff and there was A LOT of internal turmoil related to him.
No love in the Intermountain West.... Seems like Chris Hill(Utah AD) and Whit are going the rounds. He's low balling and throwing out minimum years on extensions for assistants, Whit is losing guys like an ugly prom date. This isn't what you'd want after a 9 win year, when 5 was expected.
Getting ugly(public), as email at a State Uni are public and the press is getting it.
Bud Foster contract extension has been signed. VT lives to see another season.
is that really what you want? i would think vt fan would be ready for a housecleaning and completely new regime.
speaking of foster, you can add him to the list of names a&m hasn't hired for dc. chavis, muschamp, venables, durkin, gibbs...they really are running out of available dc to make that "splash hire."
