What I got our of the SI article is that he developed a recruiting strategy at both places that emphasized their strengths. Both times it was a national strategy, which I like

When Calhoun came to UCONN, he also took a national approach and used the BE as the carrot - "play against the best". I'm sure he had a different pitch at northeastern.

I like the fact that Clawson came up with a strategy and then executed successfully against it. If he leaves in 4 years, I want their to be talent in place for the next guy.

He is wicked smart. Went to Williams, and I am sure he will figure a strategy that works for us should he be hired.

I would just think that with his career experience that Wake would be interested.

... and that the Wake Forest AD is a BSU grad (but Wellman has been @ WF for >20years).

4 of the coaches interviewed last time including P.P, are out of coaching.. This time regardless of who gets hired will be better...

Clawson was head coach in waiting @ Tennessee

You shouldn't believe everything that Thamel or SI prints....

I have to say, though I watched BG play twice this year and came away impressed both times. I also saw his Fordham team play once (a friend's nephew played against them) and remember they were very well coached.

You're referring to the "Hathaway technique".

I watched them a couple of times. Olinemen looked fit and like they could move. That is what stood out to me.

Can we stop saying stuff like this?

We still have an autobid ino a BCS game. It's just a little harder to get it. We need to be the top ranked team out of the group of 5. Most years thats the American Champ.

Couple of things:

I'm talking about the quality of the Louisville team the Krags destroyed. They weren't exactly 2-9. You can't Kragthorpe a team that has already been Kragthorped.

Secondly, I completely disagree that the American champ will get that bid most years. It's just as likely to come from the MWC or MAC as the American. CUSA and Sun Belt not so much.

All UConn has to do is win the conference. And be 11-1. And hope no one from the MWC, MAC are 12-0. But UConn also has to schedule up OOC...

No problem.

Wha, Wha , Wha , Whaaaa.....Debbie Downer strikes again.

Looks like you might get your pathetic wish of TJ Weist. But yeah I'm 'Debbie Downer' - not the guy who thinks so little of the program he thinks TJ Weist is the right guy.

Your as wrong as the pro-Pasqualoni idiots that existed on day 1. Hopefully it doesn't have to be proven to you like it had to be proven to them.

Close, but alas the "Hathaway technique" is when one's head is permanently embedded up one's . Similar, but Hathawayian cluster pharkian difference.

I feel this way also. The idea that the American champ will likely get the bid is more Aresco hyperbole. The American will have better/more balanced depth than those other conferences most years, which will make it harder to get that bid.
