Per Bruce Feldman, our new RBs coach will be EWU RBs coach Kiel McDonald.

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.
anybody else worried that Cal got the EWU head coach as oc, and he called all the plays last year? I hope Taylor is great, but he is a little inexperienced.
EWU has been gutted! I wonder if we got the better EWU OC or if Cal did. Time will tell, I guess.Originally Posted by DrumNFeather
Pro: I like that McDonald and Taylor are pals and are presumably on the same page when it comes to the offense.
Con: We only get so many assistants, and recruiting is the most important aspect of their job. I can't imaging that either Taylor or McDonald has a deep, vast recruiting network.
Where are you getting this from? Taylor called the plays last year
Fine, but Baldwin was at EWU for 8 years. He was at the head for the recent rise of that program, right? Taylor was only there for a year, and he took over an offense that had been successful for years.
I think it's fair to wonder if Cal got the better EWU Eagle.
the Cal press releases annoncing the hiring of the head coach, and related publicity
All I know is that we got to pick first and we got the guy that Kyle wanted. Whether that guy is the right guy, time will tell. But we got the guy that Kyle thought would do the best.

Everything I've seen is that Baldwin used to call plays, but he handed that to Taylor last year when Taylor came aboard. Taylor is on record saying he called every play last year.
Yet it was Taylor who turned a walk on QB into a record setter in one year.
Taylor coached Jake Browning since the 5th grade. The kid threw 200+ TD's in HS.
And Taylor took a good offense at EWU and upper their yards and PPG for the one season he was there.

I'm with you and Dwight. We got the guy we wanted. It will be interesting now to see how it all pans out.
This guy has us ranked 32nd this year.

USC is 4th, Washington 10th. Stanford is 13, Washington State is 24, Oregon is 25, and UCLA is right behind us at number 33. I don't think we got much benefit of the doubt.

Per FBS Schedules, the Pac 12 is set to release its schedule today...
My early guess....we play USC in September...

I disagree that Utah needs to "rebuild" its pass rush. That's too extreme. We also have a strong DB pipeline, and all the key offensive skill positions are returned or covered.

I wish that bye was a little later.
At Arizona for a Friday game, so a short week there after SJSU in SLC. Short week for UCLA as well (at home after @Oregon).
Early bye before Stanford (homecoming?).
No back to back road trips.
Five teams finished ranked. Of the other four, we have Stanford/USC back to back, and we have UW/CU back to back.
Yeah, like one week later, between Stanford and USC.
No Oregon state or Cal--next years schedule much harder; we miss the two bottom feeders
Yeah, but we add Stanford, and as everyone knows we don't lose to Stanford.

Wow, that is really well done.

This schedule is much tougher than last year, but I think as hard as the opponents are, they were scheduled as softly as possible. No back to back road games. Maybe the bye could be later, but still, very fair.
Colorado's schedule and USC's are soft as soft can be. I'm not sure you could have an easier schedule..oh wait, Washington 2017. That being said, I don't see where USC loses a game next year.
I think USC wins the south. Utah, UCLA and Colorado fill in 2, 3, and 4. ASU comes in a distant 5th and Arizona is sixth.
Wouldn't surprise me if USC wins it all next year. Unfortunately, Helton is running USC right. Tough defense, run the ball, let your talent beat the other teams and don't beat yourself. We may have missed our chance this last year to win the south/PAC-12 for awhile now.

Any year that someone besides USC takes the South is an opportunity missed.
How do you know this? Maybe Kyle called Baldwin and he said not interested, but Taylor might be.
I respect you at lot, but I often feel like you have a bit of an axe to grind with some of your posts.

Based on what categories Whitt needed to check off with the hire, and how soon the position was filled, Taylor was definitely plan A.
DJ and PK said this morning that Chris Peterson gave Taylor a rave review when he was hired at EWU (also said Taylor may have helped steer Browning to UW.) maybe KW talked to Peterson too.
Here's Wilner's take on schedules:
http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/01/1...dule-analysis/
On Utah:
Utah: The Holy War is the lone noncon highlight, but it’s an advantageous one: The Utes will have extra rest coming off North Dakota, while Brigham Young will be returning from a neutral-site date with, um, LSU. Utah’s conference lineup has no extremes, although it could be a fun finish if the Utes are in contention in the South. November features UCLA, WSU, UW and Colorado.
