And the winner is.....

Orange Nation has voted Mike Locksley as the guy who should be SU's new Head FB coach. Unfortunately this wont happen because SU doesnt care about FB. Hopefully this time next year the candidates will be as good as this crop, otherwise SU just screwed itself. Luckily for SU most of these guys should still be available. However Coughlin, Mason, and Oleary will all be a year closer to retirement. BTW the Oleary buy out can be worked around. If SU went to UCF and said we will pay you $200K per year over 5 years, give you a 3 for 2 FB series (which is priceless since no BCS team will give them 1 home game let alone 3), and will lobby for you should the BE expand, do you really think UCF would say no?

Final Results

How did he get here: 23-11 over #8 seed Coach P, 21-14 over #5 seed Coughlin, 11-11 over #7 seed Chow (tie goes to higher seed)

Poll Results

SU Bracket

Oleary beats GRob 27-7... I thought GROb had a very winnable bracket and was surprised he lost by so much. Oleary now moves on to the Region Final to face...

HCRE defeats Mullen 18-17... HCRE squeaks one out and now takes on Oleary for a trip to the Final 4.

NFL Bracket

Rogers gets a 21-14 W over Coughlin... I doubt Coughlin will be available anyway baring a Giant meltdown.

Chow wins 25-9 over Green... Chow is an unlikely but popular candidate. The only reason he would consider SU is if he craves to be a HC.

BCS Bracket

Locksley defeats Pelini 23-10... this wasnt eve close. Locksley is looking like a strong contender to win it all.

Foster beats Mason 17-12... Mason is my pick to win this bracket but loses to the Cinderella Foster.

Small School Bracket

Johnson wins 20-9 over Golden... Johnson is a strong candidate but if Davis goes to Arkansas, we likely lose Johnson to UNC.

Kelly gets an 18-11 W over Kill... I am still unsure about Kelly. UC is all about the D this year. How much of that is talent that was left for Kelly? If he had 2 seasons of success at UC instead of just 1, then I would be more in favor of him.

Poll Results

GRob's fate
Well according to SU fans it looks like GRob is pretty safe as 41.67% feel he is coming back no matter what. And another 16.67% feel he is back with only 1 more win. On the contrary only 18.75% think he is gone baring a miracle. And finally 22.9% are on the fence thinking he needs 2 more Ws to be safe. Usually the fan base is less patient than the AD so this seems good for GRob. However TGD may be trigger happy to cover his own ass.
