If Woodward opens the checkbook up...I trust him more than I would UCLA's AD.

From what I understand Petersen wants off the sinking ship that is now Boise State. Wanted the USC job but Haden wanted Sark more. So yeah I'd imagine he'd go to UW if they offer him.

USC has had bad hiring practices forever. Cut and Run Pete was nothing near their first choice hire and he was the result of a frantic less-than-3-week coaching search.

It's a good time to be a Pac-438972093459 hater, pretty much everyone has bad coaches or will lose theirs sometime soon.

Really shocked Sark got cherry picked. Wish I were in LA right now (Oregon for the Holidays) because they're probably going apeshit on 710.



Todd Graham is legit but I'm quite surprised he wasn't pursued by USC. He should get COTY without a doubt.

USC made the biggest sacrifices to make the P12 happen, and apparently it wasn't just money they were sacrificing. Maybe "shitty coaches at USC" is in the contract somewhere too. Wouldn't put it past Larry Scott.

Radio says Wilcox was not offered the job. That can only mean that Woodward thinks he has a slam dunk lined up: Mora or Petersen probably.

Internet says we're interviewing Mora today.

Let's wait until Mora wins a bowl game and/or conference title before putting him in the "good coaches" category.

The Mora train is a predictable cycle.

Two years of rah-rah enthusiasm
Third year, the team is a bit of a disappointment
Fourth year, the fact that Mora acts like everyone's bro leads to the team begin to fall apart.

But Washington is his dream job, so all's well.

Still, Mora doesn't have a single signature win. He doesn't even have a single upset win yet.

If Mora has a good staff working under him I'm not too concerned. Surely your Falcons fandom isn't influencing this opinion though :P

Actually, USC was favored by 3. But that's mostly because most LA people bet on USC even when they shouldn't, and Vegas takes advantage of it.

ASU looks pretty good though. I certainly thought they could have (should have?) won it, but it's not like they lost the division to a 7 win Arizona team or something.

Lane Kiffin as offensive coordinator at Florida would provide not only excitement but could also positively impact recruiting
