  1. There is nothing that can be done in the short term about our obvious lack of resources. What we can do though is hire a coach who is great at X and Os has tenacity. Someone who is a proven winner as a HEAD Coach and not just as an assistant. That person is:

    BOBBY HAUCK

    He is 76-16 as a head coach, only 45 years old, has experience coaching and recruiting at Washington, Colorado, and UCLA. In fact, he was rumored for both the Washington and UCLA jobs. Sooner or later someone is going to step-up and grab this guy ala Jim Tressell.

    Please please go get this man...

    (my apologies for posting this in multiple areas but we NEED to get this hire in motion -- I'm tired of having a terrible football program)
