I don't think he was right for the SEC, but if he was interested I'd take a look at Brett Beliema.

UConn is gonna have to figure out a way to pay a decent staff. Not bargain bin HC that promotes quality control coaches to big positions then goes to the press how he is giving his OC a raise out of his own pocket.

Short of that hire an offensive guy for a change.

Instead of keep going after guys that already failed elsewhere, I would rather just hire a coaching staff that already won at the FCS level. Just keep repeat the same fornula when we lose a coach.

How hard is it to hire a staff that run innovative offense and defense?
 
It's all about coaching...look at Tennessee. They were perennial title contenders 10 years ago. Now they are behind Memphis in there own state.

That's another way to do it i guess. I like what Lance Leiopold has done at Buffalo. Beleima really had things rolling at Wisconsin. They got tired of him asking for raises and then he got a reality check at Arkansas.

I was pushing for the guy. Like I said, just hire the entire staff from previous year's FCS champ every time we need a new coach. It is not complicated.

You weren't alone. Imagine if we hired him. We might have been in the ACC instead of Louisville. Another massive screw up.

Come December when the SEC is lobbying for a 2nd playoff bid, no one will remember that the rest of the league is not that good.

Wyoming is handling Missouri, who hired Craig Bohl from North Dakota state. He is doing a nice job.

Agreed.

Especially when you consider that if we could actually keep the top 6 to 8 players from CT at UConn each recruiting cycle, we'd have a very good football team...

That would be very tough given where we are at the moment. We are in a no mans land right now. We can live with the Scott Lutrus and Byron Jones types however.

Absolutely, but I'm just making the point to others that it isn't a lack of talent in the area. It's a lack of ability to get them...
 
Labor Day weekend is tough on attendance, but I didn’t expect to see stadiums 80% empty.

In today's America, if it’s not an important game (rivalry, playoff, championship, etc.), no one gets excited.

It would be helpful if Fresno could stop being craptastic and keep within 14 of USC.
 
Oregon with a big time choke. They shoulda been up 28-3 early but gagged it away.
 
We’ve been talking about the PAC 12 football trend for years. It’s like p7 at this point.

Northwestern fan firing shot at Stanford

Not defending the trimester Tree which starts classes in late Sept, but empty seats aren’t exactly unusual before many college games. And, NU games in Evanston average 10K+ less than Stanford home games and are typically significantly populated by B1G opponents’ fans. Ironic homer- horse blinders on the Wildcats’ skeptic!
 
Please say a prayer for Keke. I have never seen a player drop like that on a football field.



“With less than a minute to go in the third quarter, true freshman Keke Burns went down on a hit following an SMU punt. He was motionless on the field, up until the point that they could get a stretcher to him. He was taken off the field as a flashing ambulance pulled into the stadium parking lot.”

Tennessee fans (or former fans) are declaring they are giving up on UT football and deciding fishing may be a better option on their message board. Total meltdown.

Sounds like people on their message boards are Boneyarders...
