Coach THIS!

One of the better parts about college football is that its made for the ADD fan. We get different teams every year for the most part, different players, and if your team sucks, different coaches. This year is no exception. With the Bowl season about set to begin in a few weeks, the AD's and alumni have already began to "restore the luster" of some programs with new coaches. Here is a look at some of the new ones already grabbed, and my take on them.

Baylor - Out is Guy Morriss and in is the coach from Houston Art Briles. This might be my 2nd or 3rd favorite move so far this year. Art Briles put a system in down in Houston that brought that below average team to an average team, that competed for the WAC. Baylor is just the kind of squad that Briles can use to keep his stock going up as a coach. He doesn't need to win big here, just get to a bowl and once in a while upset some big schools. Morriss did a decent job getting better talent into Baylor, but he just couldn't win games.

Ole Miss - Out is Ed Oregon and in is Houston Nutt. Nutt was in Arkansas but never won big there. Nutt is cut from the R.C. mold. He may not ever be good enough to win a nations championship, but you can pretty much bet on a 7 win season every year. Right now, that's what Ole Miss needs.

Nebraska - Well say good bye to the offencive genius Bill Callahan and hello to one of the best young defensive guys out there, Bo Pelini from LSU. There is no doubt that this guys can coach defence, the main question is can he recruit, and can he bring in an offencive guy that will help this team continue to more forward on the other side of the ball. The good news is this team has some pretty good offensive players, so if he can coach up the d, 10 wins next year isn't out of the question.

Texas A&M - Fran was a flop. Enter former cheese head Mike Sherman. Good news, Sherman will install a pro style offence that will make A&M a nice choice for recruits who want to turn pro. Bad news, he has no head coaching experience in the college ranks. He did pretty well up in Green Bay, 57-39, so you know he can coach. Recruiting will be a different story. This might be a Charlie Wise like move where you get a great Coach, but maybe not the best recruiter. This team could challenge for the next for the south, if they can get some speed on defence.

There is still so much to be played out over the next month, and coaches will be jumping ship from left to right. These are the teams, and the type of coach they need.

Michigan - As big of a name as this team is, this might be one of the worst coach jobs to have. Reason is they need a big name who will win now, and win often. Who ever takes this job will have 3 jobs, and they will be in this order. Beat Ohio State, Win Big Ten, Win it all. Piece of cake.

Prediction - Les Miles. They will have a trow a ASS TON of money, but its either this guy or go get an NFL man. Maybe Butch Davis?

UCLA - This team either underachieves or is overrated every year. They need someone who can shake things up a bit and i have the perfect guy for em. Mike Leach, from Texas Tech. Whats the biggest problem with Tech, they can't recruit defence. Well, if you are coaching UCLA, now you can. I really think he could win a nation title here. Mark it.

Georgia Tech - I don't know why this team fired Chan Gailey. So he didn't beat Georgia, he lead this team to bowl game after bowl game. I really think too many people think their team should be a top 3 program. Not gonna happen. I have no clue what these guys wanna do.

Arkansas - Same as Georgia Tech. The same.

Washington State - Not going to pretend to know a lot about Bill Doba and Wassu, but its a middle to bottom of the pack ten program that is second fiddle in the state. Your not going to get any big name guys here. They should look for a solid young, up and comer.

SMU - The last one i am going to talk about. I don't really know why people around Dallas think this is such a great job. I have heard names such as Nutt, Briles, even Mike Singeltary. The latest one is Paul Johnson from Navy. While Johnson is one hell of a coach, i don't know if the SMU job is better than the Navy job. If they get Johnson go for it. If they can't, I would like to suggest going after Fran, or getting Texas Legend Major Applewhite. I don't really know how Brown would take that, seeings as the man crush between him and "the" Major is akin to Wade Phillips love of cheeseburgers, but I bet he might buy one pony hat.

Well just some rambling from a semi sane big guy who loves college football. As always comments are welcome and will be shot down as I please.
