Lane Kiffin? Is that a joke?

If I were a uw fan my first choice would be Peterson followed closely by mora. I think both of them would be a step up from sark. The one worry I would have about mora is that he's proven to be a great recruiter at ucla, but we seahawk fans know he's not necessarily a good in game head coach. And as far as recruiting goes I think he'd find that it's a lot tougher to recruit to Seattle then it is to Los Angeles. (That's not a knock on Seattle, which I love, just reality)

I'm pulling for Petersen honestly. Part of it is the sweet irony of it being a guy who USC couldn't get and part of it is that I just think the dude can flat out coach.

Mora has done a wonderful job at UCLA, but the ugliness of 2009 is hard to forget. Also, how often do "coming home" narratives actually work out? Basically never?

Bobby Petrino is by far and away my first choice. He's a proven commodity at a big conference. The University may take some flack for it but Nuehisel wasn't PTA president either. Secind would be Mora. While at least one person thinks he'd be a disaster, his story is semi similar to Carroll's. I'm in absolutley no way implying that Mora will ever be as successful as PC. I'm just saying SC fans had a very Sark like welcoming for PC. He does have it a little easier recruiting down in LA but I honestly believe the recruits are going with him. Not UCLA. He's a former NFL coach they all know and can maybe, in their minds, help them get there. Its not like UCLA typically has awesome recruiting classes year in and year out and they have been in a LA for a little while now.

Interesting.

And we all know that Petrino:

1.) could get the recruits, because players know his modus operandi is to get them ready to play at the professional level; and

2.) would likely jump at the chance to leave Western Kentucky and get back to coaching an AQ school again — no matter what his contract situe at WKU is.

But there are an awful lot of places to wreck a motorcycle in Washington state — and some fine honeys there, to boot.

Could be trouble, you know.

He's coaching football not running a monastery. I could give two hoots what he does in or out of his marriage. Mike Leach was accused of physically and verbally abusing students at Texas Tech. Then a student at WSU accused him of the same thing. An affair is none of any of our business.

Umm, it is if the financial details of his affair risk getting your football program the Southern Methodist Death Penalty.

Gary Pinkel. And I'm not going to stop clamoring for him until he's offered a sh*t ton and refuses our offer. 11 years Pinkel coached at U-Dub and did so through our glory days. He has to have some very fond memories here, and with the right offer, it's a big step up from Missouri, both on campus and off. I firmly believe it's going to take a no nonsense coach to bring us back to prominence. Pinkel learned under James and what he learned was accountability and to not rely solely on his assistant coaches. Like DJ, Pinkel doesn't just coach kids, he coaches his coaches too.

Yes, I know about the DUI. But don't care.
