For reference, we had an all Pac 12 Punter and ST player (Berryhill) and an honorable mention at kicker in Haversik who split time with another kicker who went 12-12 on FG's and 12-12 on XP's. Special teams were not really an issue this year like years past.
Excellent point! And when we did have a dedicated Special Teams Coach (Hammershmidt) he took a very promising freshman punter and made him worse every year.
Just thinking of the Joe Rob years and how successful ST was under Tomey.
Hoping the ST was nothing more than a Rich Rod not caring about that aspect (and Sumlin not caring about anything) issue. ST were pretty good under Stoops until Hammerschmidt came in.

Hawaii should seriously consider moving on from football altogether.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Don't take it Deion. You deserve better than Colorado.

Big jump for a FCS coach. Not sure what team would be a better fit for him. Any team would be a bottom dweller.
CU has had some good teams turn of this century, along with a shared Natty in 1990, so they did have somewhat of a winning tradition. More so than Arizona.
Although the destruction of the PAC-12 will hurt recruiting for head coaches. Don't want to end up in the WAC or Big West.
Wow! Surprised at this because I figured he’d ride it out until they finally fired him years from now. Or maybe they did fire him but let him tell everyone he’s quitting.
In addition to guiding Stanford to three Rose Bowl Game appearances, Shaw is the only four-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year, having led the Cardinal to three conference titles. Shaw's 96 overall wins rank ninth in Pac-12 history while his 65 conference victories rank fifth. Stanford achieved 29 wins against top-25 opponents (ranking eighth nationally since 2011), 11 against top-10 programs and five against top-5 foes. Additionally, the Cardinal had 43 players drafted, a total ranking tied for 13th nationally and tied for the most in the Pac-12.
Shaw was a class act and represented the conference well. Had some really good teams and big wins but you could tell the last few years his teams regressed.
UNLV fired a coach who got them 5 wins? Sounds like progress up in Vegas

Someone hinted Neon Deon might have interest in Vegas with the notion they might get entrance into the PAC in a few years

Dillingham definitely won the press conference.
Maybe if folks equate crying in press conferences and interviews with having the coaching ability of Dick Vermeil. Now I admit I didn't watch but heard of the crying.....and being an Eagles fan, I first thought of Dick Vermeil
