For his background, not those games.

They were suspended because of the Purdue v PSU game.

Zook finished 4th in AP coach of the year poll behind the winner, Mark Mangino, Gary Pinkel and June Jones.

 

Um...what? I mean, I can understand Mangino. But Zook had a +7 wins and dealt with some real crap seasons for the last few years to turn this team from 2 wins to 9 wins and a BCS bowl.

 

I don't know, I think Zook should have AT LEAST been 2nd ahead of Pinkel and Jones.

I can see Pinkel ahead of Zook, but I don't see Jones ahead of him.

I'd go Mangino, Pinkel, Zook, but, hey, I'm a Big 12 homer. No way Mangino doesn't get first, but I give it to Pinkel head to head against the Zooker.

Why didn't Charlie Weis get any votes?

LOL, you and I both know Pinkel can't really coach. Surprised you put him in such high regard.

He gets rewarded for not f***ing up too bad, LOL.

Osu loses starting cb washington and backup cb for the bcs title game. Violation of team rules

bowl season finally starts tonight

Dammit. There couldn't be too many coaches out there who would suspend two impact players before a national title game for team rules violations. Oh well.

Ummm..... players get suspended for bowl games every year.

 

I wasn't aware, which players have been suspended before their title game?

Just heard word that it may only be eugene clifford that is suspended, not washington. Clifford is a nickel back.

thats just out there.

that happens to me like every weekend.

Who hasn't invited two water buffaloes and a man back to there apartment for fun?

Rich Rodriguez has told all current Michigan assistants they will not be retained. Word is some may actually be re-hired, but there is no guarantee.

 

Gotta be a strange time in Ann Arbor. This move has to make recruiting, including the current commits, very dicey. Yet, the old staff, including Coach Carr are still there coaching the team through the Capitol One Bowl.

 

I guess nothing is ever smooth when you hire an outside coach, but this seems a bit off from the norm to me. We shall see if the current commits overreact and start to jump or if his new staff can re-recruit them quickly enough to not lose which seemed to be a pretty strong group.

I think you can be reasonably certain that most of those coaches knew that they wouldn't be back. That's life as an assistant.

Exactly. The only assistant NIU brought back, for example, is WR coach P.J. Fleck, who is an up and coming offensive mind that is only 27 years old, is getting a promotion, and will probably be a head coach someday (plus he was a star player here from 2000-2003). Everybody else is gone, even Mike Sabock, who has coached the defense and done recruiting for 24 years and survived 4 coaching changes here. With a new coach, nobody is really safe.

 

Oh and on a random note, Florida Atlantic beat Memphis 44-27 in the New Orleans Bowl last night. It's really amazing, I think ANYBODY could build a really good program down in Florida. In 2000 they didn't even have a fooball team, they were 1-AA from 2001-2004, and now in their third year in 1-A, they have won a conference and bowl championship to cap a great season. "The program builder", Howard Schnellenberger, has done a great job there though now in his early 70's agewise.

Sucks to be you, UCLA.

RB Coach Fred Jackson has been re-hired by Rodriguez. He may or may not coach RB's, however (although it looks like he will). Two other assistants may be re-hired as well. Current rumors have them as Steve Stripling (D-line) and either Scott Loeffler (QB's) or Erik Campbell (WR's). Then again the rumors seem to be changing daily.
