Coordinators - and frankly, any assistant- needs to be done by the head coach and head coach alone The only time you should bring in the AD at this level is to do a background check and to write the check ADs shouldn’t be in on the hiring of assistants But I have known em to be in on the firings

I know some HS coaches who thought the same way. They really liked Coach Mac.

yeah, but Temple football really doesn't move the media needle in Philly. For a place like Philly, the Temple beat is something you give to the young guy on staff trying to cut his teeth at a major metro or to the old guy looking to ride something into the sunset of retirement.

Hope is a good thing. Oh, wait. that's just for Red in The Shawshank Redemption.

TStan has/had respect for PJ. One night at a bar, we ran into him after a game and we started talking about coach. I said I'd known PJ for a long time and respected him greatly and got along with him very well on a personal level. Stansbury called him a "mad scientist"

What gets me too is how, after year 1, Collins put in that 10/10/10 Club thing to make up the ground on all those "close losses" we had in 19. Now, he says, and I quote, "we’re now to the point in the program we’re in these close games, which we haven’t been in the past." So ... which is it? The...

To back up your point, PJ pled to get more help in the recruiting office and efforts. I think TStan was trying to help. MBob, though ....

That’s a tried and lazy narrative, mostly propagated by that gasbag Bradley. In his last five full recruiting classes, per rivals rankings, PJ landed Step Durham, A.J. Gray, Anree Saint-Amour, Jordan Woods, Emanuel Bridges, Brandon Adams, Tre Swilling, Bruce Jordan-Swilling, Gentry Bonds, Kaleb...

Thanks. Hadn't seen that.

A punter. Who signed with PJ. Cottrell got cut but brought back to the Jags. Camp and Davis (here for one season) both got cut. Haven't seen that either has been picked up. I had a HS coach tell me a couple of years ago that the Tech coaches had a signee they thought was going to be NFL...

When Monken's name came up for the South Carolina job, he told the president he wouldn't necessarily run the triple in Columbia. I've told this anecdote before: Some years ago, sitting in PJ's office one day, I asked him who on his staff would be a good head coach one day. He said Monken. I...

He does come across, especially now, as all sizzle and no steak.

I remember another hot shot SEC DC who got a HC job and was struggling through a very bad year, his first. He kept telling his assistants to "see the vision through." Meanwhile, he was interviewing for the DC job at Texas. I don't think CGC is doing that. But WTH else is he supposed to say...

That line better get good next year because why would Gibbs stay a fourth year if he can go to the NFL after three?

It's about damn time we got some Skyline chili around here! Hell yes!!!

1. UNC is very overrated. Saw a lot of 10-2 predictions for them before the season. And still see them projected to go to a bowl — even though they still have ND (tonight), Wake, NC State ahead. I say they go 4-8. 2. We were lucky to beat Duke. The holding call on their tight end and then the...

You're close.

From someone who talked to a member of the interview committee. Interview committee talked to Whisenhunt. Knew during middle of the interview he wasn't the guy. Talked to Collins next. Now .. .want to know how many people made up the interview committee?

Except ... what we're seeing (with exception of Gibbs every once in a while) isn't particularly entertaining.

PJ used to tell me that when he was at Hawaii, there were times the offense would come to the line of scrimmage and look at the defense and just start laughing, telling the defense, 'you're not going to stop this" before the snap. They'd even tell the opposing D "we're running this play and...
