Finally, a nugget! - yvonne - 06-22-2011

I feel like I've been in the Sacramento River as I've tried to mine something worth discussing today. Finally, I may have found

There's a photo of our man with the headset, but what's interesting is that the writer notes that most of the coaches who have won the BCS in the last 15 years are those who have not been at their schools very long. In fact, the average is 3.1 years. This could be because other coaches have not learned those coaches' schemes, but it could also be because coaches in general don't stay at schools for very long. I've wondered whether the former might be true in the case of the UC system's highest paid employee. He was hot in his first few years, but I seem to have heard quite a bit of grousing on the other side of the bay for the last three years.

4)Bill Stewart — The coaching transition could be a fiasco but Stewart has a very promising young quarterback in Geno Smith running an explosive system backed by an always solid defense in the wide open Big East

This statement throws a little dubiosity on the guy's projections. Still...glad David Shaw's getting some consideration.

The article was written back in March, before Stewart was ousted at West Va. I believe that the writer was referring to the awkward set-up which would have had Stewart coaching the team in 2011 before passing the reins to his pre-ordained successor.
