re: Well, This Was a Fun Week!

Only thing about it is, where were these comments in the last week or so, when the peasants were storming the castle with torches and pitchforks?

If anything, I think any realistic chance at getting a big name to come here was lost by the huge shitstorm that erupted. You all think Les sucks; most guys we'd want to get probably think he's performing at a level that should make him safe and respected. Say all you want about "accepting the challenge", but I doubt anyone wants to uproot from a good job to come here, and face the same expectations.

Before you make the Ohio St/John Cooper argument (he couldn't beat Michigan), remember they had to hire a 1AA coach from Youngstown St, and were lucky that he turned out to be the man. Or the Bama/Saban argument; remember he bailed out on the Dolphins and was looking to land anywhere. Yes, if Chip Kelly gets fired we could try to get in a bidding war with him, but he has no connections here (like Saban did in the SEC), and if we wait on that, we really risk getting a nobody instead.
