All that being said, ManKok has done neither BQ nor DA any favors in 2009. He has basically spent the last few months implicitly stating that he doesn't like either guy, and that the only reason that both are around is because of money issues, instead of anointing a starter like any other successful head coach, and then going to the mat for him. I'm not calling for the guy's head, but the mounting evidence of indecision and internal dissent can only spell trouble for ManKok. He has to do SOMETHING to rally these troops and bind them together, and very soon, or Fat Eric will be the one labelled a bust. My personal opinion is that he needs to modify his approach to his players. The Bear Bryant/Woody Hayes paternal **** model won't work with grown, self-absorbed, egotistical (not saying this is a bad thing, not for a pro) men making mid-six figures, or better, per year. Coughlin's team got better when he became a little less of a prick.
Michigan had a horrible year, but everyone pretty well knew that they would; it will talk RR a year or two to install his system and get the personnel - not necessarily "better" players than he inherited, but the right ones to fit his scheme - that he needs to get UM moving in the right direction. It will likely happen within that time frame.
The guy in South Bend has had some time, now. Many would say more than enough. Yet, ND is DISGRACEFUL! Weis may be a great offensive coordinator in a pro system, but he certainly seems to be a mediocre college head coach. This is Notre Dame, and everyone who loves and stands by the ND football tradition deserves better than what this extremely arrogant and seemingly inept head coach has been able to provide!
Thank you. All the smack about conference superiority, etc..., reeks of the same snarky 20-something fanboy bs that i have periodically heard in reference to every major conference (and, in the past, every major independent) for the last 35 years.
Bucks are a top program, have been since Paul Brown was coach, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. History of hiring a clean, straightforward, no bs head coach, always able to recruit top talent. Plenty of tOSU men on NFL rosters.
Not knockin' the SEC, PAC-10, etc...SEC is on top right now, hard, bruising, cockknocking conference...TODAY...
Point is that conference strength is cyclical among the 4-5 historically powerful conferences. The NC is the NC. The NC is about a single TEAM, a chemistry, not a conference.
Buckeye haters: sorry, but they're back, and they just might get to The Big Game again.
