I believe this is the biggest issue with Hoke and his staff.

I think the issue is developing talent on the lines. The O-Line has been trash outside of Lewan, the D-Line has sucked.

Our RBs have no where to run, Gardner got sacked about 90000 times, there is no pressure on the QB unless they blitz 2 extra guys. Linebackers have been fine, DBs have been mainly fine, WRs have been fine (look at Gallon, Funchess, and co), RBs are still unknown due to the bad lineplay, but the year that it was a senior line Toussaint ran for 1200 yards at 5.4 YPC.

I haven't finished reading it yet, but this:

quote:

"I knew about this a month or two after it happened," says a former teammate and friend of McQueary's. "It certainly wasn't a secret. We all heard this rumor."

Stood out to me. I remember, when I lived there, that something unusual had happened with Sandusky but us regular people had no idea what it was. Just that there was a reason he'd retired. It didn't dawn on me until just now that back in 2004-2010, whenever Sandusky came up...some of the more...in-tune people on the various PSU boards would use very specific wording about why Sandusky had retired: "to spend more time with the Second Mile." Hell of a tell right there, eh.

I think we will, but I'm also delusional.

After his experience at Michigan, I doubt he wants to try leading a big-name program again, but going home is probably the best bet for him leaving, and with Dana probably losing his job that's the perfect opportunity. That being said, Arizona has been doing all the right things for football, and while it'll always be second to basketball, the commitment the school has shown to football with the new facilities is probably going to help us keep him around.

I just followed up reading the Blue Hog report; apparently he fired someone on his staff today (communications director?) and his statement was "no comment". He's also been going back on Tigerdroppings deleting posts, though I don't know how effective it is in the grand scheme of things.

Also, I don't see why we'd want him. I think his only connection to Louisiana appears to be that his daughter recieved a scholarship to play golf at LSU. Apparently she's transferred to A&M, so maybe they'll accept him in Texas. God knows all the residents ever do is talk about how goddamned big it is (as if that's a cultural thing)*.
