Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3358209, member: 6911"] Appropriate to choose 10 years. Coach Geno took a decade to win his first NC. His won-loss record rose over time. So coaches who are doing very well after a decade could be considered "new" coaches. Don't think that Q qualifies as one of that top group. He's been around for a long time, and hasn't seemed to break through to the top ranks. I am surprised by how the Pac 12 has morphed into the new version of the old Big East. For years and years and years, Stanford was the giant among midgets in the Pac-12. Only in the past few years have Oregon and Oregon State emerged as national powers, while UCLA and Berkeley have also emerged as strong programs. Even USC has been competitive nationally of late. So big surprise that at least in terms of the college-eve, the West Coast has "emerged"! [/QUOTE]
