I bet someone gets a job somewhere in the league though before long.<br /><br />I didn't watch Iowa State vs Tech so I can't speak much to that...but collapse seems likely given the margin. Rasul Douglas will be one of the guys I consider for B12 DPOY, for sure.<br /><br />I need to see where Iowa St is at QB and what their incoming JUCO DL look like.iain_boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562256909619447094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-28180819240499838412016-11-23T14:18:48.605-08:002016-11-23T14:18:48.605-08:00Happy Thanksgiving Ian, your blog has been a great...Happy Thanksgiving Ian, your blog has been a great read all year.<br /><br />Questions! I have questions.<br /><br />So is the veer and shoot going to disappear from the Big 12? Neither Morris nor Herman seems like to employ it. Weird that it will be at Syracuse but possibly at zero Big 12 schools. <br /><br />What are your thoughts on Rasul Douglas as the Big 12 DPOY? Justin Crawford as newcomer of the year? Doesn't have to be WVU focused, just curious as to who you see as candidates for the conference awards.<br /><br />Is Iowa State better or did Tech just collapse? Early predictions for year 2 under Campbell?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678279144371443332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-14070395524723179192016-11-23T09:03:50.610-08:002016-11-23T09:03:50.610-08:00For us over at Texas Tech, we're looking ahead...For us over at Texas Tech, we're looking ahead to the 2017 offseason, when we'll hopefully be able to find some boosters willing to pony up 6 million to move on from Kliff.<br /><br />I've had the opportunity to watch UTSA play a couple of times and Frank Wilson is someone who could be available next year and who I would be very interested in looking at. His team looks well-coached and fundamentally sound on both sides of the ball. His improvements so far over Larry Coker's tenure are only marginal, so it will be interesting to see how he does in year two. But his team looked a lot better against ASU than Tech did with vastly inferior athletes.

I think Ward Jr is a fine player but not the kind of player that is hard to come by at Texas and Herman has had success with a few different types of QBs over his tenure as a coach.iain_boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562256909619447094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-32183735734851769452016-11-23T01:26:08.821-08:002016-11-23T01:26:08.821-08:00RE: Texas

This dude is only 49 years old and has presided over the best SUSTAINED run of success at a second tier school in recent memory outside of Chip Kelly at Oregon.<br /><br />Since 2005: <br />104 - 48 (ave. 8.67-4, including a Year Zero of 4-7)<br />Take Year Zero away, and he's 9.1-3.7. <br />FPI rankings from 2005: 80, 34, 25, 15, 28, 12, 3, 8, 6, 48, 24, 16. That is an mean of 20.<br /><br />Here's a list of P5 schools that have won more games than Ok St over Gundy's tenure:<br /><br />Ohio State, Bama, Oregon*, Oklahoma, LSU, TCU**, Wisconsin***, FSU, Clemson, USC, Florida, Georgia, Virginia Tech ^, Michigan State#<br /><br />* Cheated, caught<br />** Only Big12 for the last 5 yrs. Mean FPI over the last 5 yrs: 25. Best coach in program history. <br />*** WTF, Mean FPI over the last 12 years: 21.5<br />^ Best coach in program history<br />^^ Probably best coach in program history<br /><br />In comparison, another coach went 13-1 and now 9-2 (so far) in his first two years with FPI 34 and 29 (so far). This comparitor coach's expertise is on the offensive side of the ball, and he's got a top flight QB that has been key to his success on that side for his short tenure at this school. The defense at this school was as good as the offense during his first year and is BETTER than the offense this year (by the numbers). The narrative for this other coach is built on his team winning games as an underdog, which reasonable observers know is subject to severe regression to the mean. <br /><br />Gundy can recruit, manage a program, and teach. He knows how to manage a big booster. Since his first year, he's missed bowl games exactly 0 times. <br /><br />He's played in NY6-equivalent bowl games 4 of the last 7 years, at OK ST!<br /><br />His knocks are the 40-year-old rant and that he's at a school in the conference, and he's only beaten OU twice. However, in the last six games with the Sooners, the mean point differential is 3 with each team winning a blowout and overtime game and OU winning two one-possession games. <br /><br />His benefits are obvious. Will UT make the obvious choice or will they go for the bling?quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585516373077693748noreply@blogger.com
