I think Shaka is a fine coach but honestly the one facet of his tenure that has been disappointing is his recruiting.  I expected much better results on the national level.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 10:48:35 AMThere are really no reasons for CSU to be this bad outside of poor leadership and coaching hires. Nice campus, great new stadium and facilities, strong fan support, and Ft. Collins is an awesome town.

I mean, they are in a mid major conference and the unquestioned number 2 program in the state, not to mention they have no real football history to speak of.  2 coaches there in the last 70 years have had winning records, and one (McElwain) was only there 3 years. Even with CU sucking for awhile, CSU is still little brother...in a state that doesn't produce a ton of D1 talent

At various points during the game, the announcers were criticizing St. John's fundamentals and game plan. Which, if I didn't know that Pitino was on the sideline, would have sounded like an indictment of the coach.

I'm always happy to be your editor, Mike.

Quote from: Stretchdeltsig on Today at 10:25:16 AMI trust Shaka. He's a great recruiter and excellent coach. He'll fine tune this team to play his winning style. He knows how to win.

Thanks! This is what I was hoping for. Another scooper might say he needs to partially deal with the players' limitations.

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 06:36:09 AMI hope Shaka doesn't get coaching advice like this.

He plays Hamilton and Gold nothing like Oso and nothing like one another.

Hawk has some 'indicaters' of being a lil bit crazay.

Quote from: Viper on Today at 10:02:19 AMMichigan...new coach (yr 2), utilizing all the recruiting tools available...it's only Nov., but F4 looking probable. Dusty May won't be confused with Helen Keller.

Shaka's Year 2 at Marquette absolutely sucked. We couldn't win any NC games, we were never ranked, we finished 9th in the Big East exactly as opposing coaches (and some of Scoop) predicted, we got crushed in the first round of the BE tournament.
