    Damn. Dwight beat me by seconds.
    He was on the staff last year in some capacity. He was on the field talking to Harding and others in ASU gear this year when they came to SLC.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    He was a defensive consultant

    I doubt he had any interaction with players in that role. That’s where he seems to really “shine.”

    Giants coaching job is coveted. Some names I've heard in recent days: Dave Toub (Chiefs), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa) and Kyle Whittingham (Utah).

    8:36 AM - 30 Dec 2017

    I never want to see Whitt leave. But I’ve always been interested to see how he’d do at another program.

    Utah has so many weird quirks here. I think Whitt would kill it in a more professional environment.

    Blech. Serious step down. A team in New Jersey with huge roster problems? Whoever takes that job should be warned that it is a 2-year position only.

    I’m not a member, but I imagine we hear an official announcement on Gary soon.

    Somebody just tweeted: Herm Edwards is now the longest tenured coach in Arizona.

    Maybe this is like the Y going independent. UA just had to act after ASU hired Edwards--they coulnt let their bitter rival make a crazy hire alone.

    Wow. Who's gonna be the new guy? I'd try to get Norvell from Memphis. He's already worked in Arizona, right?

    I'll bet Dave Christensen is available.

    Just after the 2011 season, the PAC-12 turned over 33% of their HCs.

    This year is even crazier, with the same teams turning over in our division.

    PAC-South
    School 2012 2018
    ASU - Erickson > Graham > Edwards
    UA - Mike Stoops > RichRod > ??
    UCLA - Neuheisal > Mora > Kelley

    PAC-North

    Oregon - Taggart > Cristobal
    OSU - Andersen > Jonathan Smith
    Cal - Dykes > Wilcox (last year)

    USC has had even more turnover over the past decade, and their fans have been grumbling about Clay Helton since Day 1.

    2018 might be the best opportunity yet to make a run. If we can get Mitch and Matt to stay, with Gary playing a Dennis Erickson-like role, we might be positioned to poach some recruits from other PAC schools and make a serious run.

    How dare you try to get me excited for next season! I won't stand for it.

    I was tempted to make a similar joke yesterday with Gary Andersen’s hiring to be in charge of media communications.

    Les Miles to Arizona? Rumors are flying. Wowza.

    If he goes to Arizona and if Darnold stays, I’d rank the south for next year like this (at this point):

    1 - USC
    1 a and b - Utah and Arizona
    4 - UCLA
    6 - ASU and Colorado

    Texas A&M apparently went after LSU DC Dave Aranda (former coach at Utah, and DC at USU and Wisconsin with Gary Andersen).

    LSU responded by giving Dave a $2.5M/yr, 4- year, guaranteed contract. He is now by far the highest paid coordinator in the nation. Way to go, Dave!

    Wow. The sheer amount of money in CFB is incredible.

    He's never coached at Utah. But his ties to GA and the state immediately make him a top-of-the-list candidate to replace Kyle if we needed to within the next 3-5 years.

    Harding would do really well in the NFL.

    I like Harding a lot, and tend to agree.

    And, coaching the O line to block for RPO plays is not really a good fit for his style.

    Bingo. It would be nice for Taylor to have an OL coach that knows RPO.
