I agree, I wish our former coaches nothing but the best.

I agree failure has many fathers, but it sounds like that game gave certain fans an easy to explain hook to hang their emotions and anger on. The old axiom is to run the ball, and burn the clock, when you're up that big... so with little information, continuing to throw (if that is what they did) does seem odd, esp. as the lead was reduced.

I'm sure Coach Hawk has learned from that, and it sure looks like he has brought in a stellar cast of assistants. I an very impressed with what I have read about Tucker and Speckman.

Very impressive. I thought I read where Sochor had praise for him?

Odd. I thought they even reached 4 wins his last year, a high point. I think when they blew a 28 point lead to Kansas, the biggest implosion in program history, it was a huge turning point. He continued to have his son throw the ball, some believing in order to break some school records.

The few articles I've read go back to his son as QB. This article has some interesting, player, off the record comments. Players here also complaint about not having their names on the jerseys, and not getting a voice.

Cody Hawkins was also kind of flippant with the press after one loss, the only article were I read numerous comments from him.

I know very little about him, had one decent year as QB... is he a solid or innovative offensive mind?

Last DE article said he would be teaching PE for the time being...

Still no new job for Coach Gould?

6'3", 215#s, OPOTY. ...beast.

Remember, they will be freshmen... Don't get too carried away.

18 tackles a game? Is that right?

Maybe donations cover the increase in salaries, not the whole banana....that would be my guess.

Dan Hawkins now has two twitter accounts? .. or a pretender?

Distant cousins.

I hope the coaches can read through our collective bluster - at times - and realize we just want to be competitive again, want to win, and want to do it with Aggie Pride. Go Ags!

Have we played San Diego before?

No Montana or MSU

Better to get it right, versus haste.

Nothing official...Is Wolff a high octane Offensive mind, or more of a CEO?

.

If there was ever a year to land a few JC recruits, this would be it... our new DC should know SoCal inside out, including his own team... so the only remaining hurdle may be if they meet our academic standards.

How big a deal was the US National team?

Logical... but 1 yr as a HS coach and 1 yr as a JC Coach seems slim. Ironic that Hawk is all about embracing the challenge, go for it, etc. yet Cody and Pops are tied at the hip. ... If it happens, a GA slot might make more sense.

Daft was also OC, FYI.
