I know that I'm definitely in the minority on this, but I don't mind what Manuel is doing with Ollie. He was put in an impossible spot.

Good article by Jacobs for a change. Why wait for year 3 if PP is ultimately going to go? Clearly, offensive changes need to happen. If PP agrees, give him another year. If not, see you later.

All his ideas and talking points were taken from this board. Regardless, at least he got it right.

"I'm convinced that in a football league with Louisville, Rutgers, Boise State and South Florida, UConn is never going to be the top tier in raw talent. That means it must be top-tier in coaching and development."

This.

He goes on to talk about personality. Results matter, not personality. Does Saban have a great personality? Belichik? Plenty of winners have personalities.

UConn was never tops in talent, but had solid (not great) coaching and very good development. If we can get that back, plus a little something extra, we can be right back where we were...or better.

Hits the nail on the head here:
This is not a young coaching staff that made early mistakes and is poised for a great run. These guys are going to run on the same track over and over. And the existing talent isn't screaming 8-4 in 2013.
Kansas, Akron and Memphis fired their coaches after two seasons in 2011 and all three have done poorly this year. There are no quick fixes. Yet it is a quote by Einstein, not Pasqualoni's "It's a work in progress," that sticks with me. You know the one: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

God I hope Ollie runs with this or it's going to be ugly.

It's true, Jimmy. He's already offered to pick up a girl photo, and I'm waiting anxiously to see which one he chooses...

I'll probably end up picking one that annoys people. Since I only care for myself I'll be looking for young Britany.

I meant legal young. Not whatever search engine you have installed.

You're on fire tonight, my friend!

I don't know why, but when looking for an avatar for you, I tried to think, "creepy"...
