Great size & established program. Battling EWU & UCLA. Davis closer to home and not the Pac 12 high stakes gamble. Maybe our new athletic performance facility helps ink him. Go Ags!

His son also allegedly had two testing violations when he was with the NFL. The hire was a red flag, the promotion another (27 yo). My understanding is that in season work hours for coaches are brutal.

Most of the issues didn't sound illegal, mainly unprofessional, sloppy, unprepared and amateur.

And a few talented starters leaving. Max McCaffrey dating the (gorgeous) Director of Ops. Who hired her?

No new offers on RB or QB.

The Gould transition?

Two talented freshmen each 6'5", a guard and a forward.

Broncos presser today.

6:00 - Hackett
8:00 - mentions Arp, Johnson, Aggie Pride
33:00 - his decision process at Davis to pursue FB

Hackett started Carson Palmer, got hear year 2 & 3, and his players were the foundation for Pete Carroll (?).

Will Coach Combs land some D Linemen?

Didn't he start a freshman QB?

Hackett miked up, 2.5 minutes.

ESPN: "Hackett's hiring will bring immediate speculation about the Broncos trying to lure Aaron Rodgers to Denver, perhaps along with Packers star receiver Davante Adams, who is set to hit free agency in March."

They have $50M in cap room and 11 draft picks.

Rodgers & Hackett are allegedly tight, and AR supposedly had ongoing problems with GB management.

Enrollment will double in 7 years.

Denver seals the deal before Hackett's return trip to Jacksonville.

Speckman lauding Ulonzo. It appears to be a football camp in the Central Valley.

NAU offered DE Kai Wallin.

CAForever has superb skills. Mine aren't secret.

Do a basic google search of UC Davis football, then scroll left on the subtopics which include All, Images, News, etc. The far right selection on my phone is 'search tools', click that. Then another subtopic pops up for time with a drop down arrow, I select 24 hours - to scan the latest news. It's a wildcard, something I do while having coffee. That's one method. Most results are irrelevant - men's basketball, etc.

A second method is scanning popular twitter handles (names), like local RB DJ Crowther. (Search - Twitter DJ Crowther.) It helps that his name is unique. He pops right up, and the players tweet about their visits, post photos, etc. ... if you search a more common name like Dan Hawkins, you need to add another term or two - like football or UCD - to weed out irrelevant hits. (Most of the DJ Crowther info came from his twitter account, and I just checked it against what we had here.)

Another trick is to search "Dan Hawkins" or "UC Davis football" - which means an exact match.
