+1 Rocky has forgot more football then most of you whippersnappers have ever known. Not sure why I posted, I guess I just wanted to use the word "whippersnappers". Ok guy, you're the coach now. Fix it. Oh, you're NOT a paid collage football coach....ok then, have a seat.

I'd like to see you post more. You make reasoned, objective and unemotional contributions to the board. You must have played sports. To the substance of what's above, maybe somebody should start a thread on why they think the atmosphere at Qualcomm is all of a sudden almost back to the dreary mausoleum that epitomized CHUCK Long football. I have some ideas but would rather hear from others and it's a bit off topic here. I don't at all think Hoke recruited poorly. Instead, I think the biggest problem with this team is line play on both sides of the ball. Craft - and particularly his doofus offensive line coach - did a horrible job with that position and Chuck and his guy started improving things a bit but there was a huge amount of work to be done and just to get a bunch of bodies, they brought in nice kids like Grassilli who nobody else wanted and they contributed nothing. Rocky and his guys brought in several stud O-linemen in this year's class but they aren't close to being ready to be starters. In 2014 they should be pretty good but not now, not yet. Finally, I know for a fact as do others who post here but don't say it publicly that the SDSU is plenty desirable. No we aren't going to lure anybody away from one of the so-called Power 5 conferences or even a BE school but the SDSU gig is sufficiently coveted that with the right salary, and $800K isn't it for the true studs, we can hire anybody from the current WAC, the MAC, the SBC and virtually anybody from CUSA. I say virtually anybody because a guy like Sonny Dykes isn't going to settle for any MWC job now other than maybe Boise. And there aren't more than a few BE jobs a guy like Dykes would take either. (If he's as smart as I think he is, he won't settle for a POS AQ job like Indiana, either.) Of course, the trouble with CUSA is there isn't a single coach from that league other than June Jones that I'd want to see come to SDSU anyway. Rocky's fine but it doesn't take past experience as a college football coach to see this team hasn't improved in the slightest over the first five games of the season. It's THAT fact which truly concerns me. I try to go for brevity in my posts, and occasionally I even achieve it. When I said Hoke didn’t recruit well, that was a shorthand way of saying he didn’t get the overall level of quality or quantity we needed on the lines, which is where we have been getting punished this season. Even our sad secondary likely wouldn’t be so maligned if we had any kind of push up front. If events run their course, I’m guessing our budget for a head man next year could be as high as $1.5 million, maybe more. Assuming that would be enough, a Sonny Dykes hire would be like Christmas morning for me. Thanks for the kind words, SGF. I don’t post as often as most of you guys do simply because I enjoy reading your thoughts more than I do typing.

Are you a professional thread starter? No, then you shouldn't start threads.

If we lose to UNLV, Rocky will quit. So if the result is we hire what would presumably be a considerably better staff, it would be well worth it. How can you be so certain he will quit. That is absurd speculation to project a guy to walk from $700K/yr (whatever) based upon others opinion of his competancy.

That is absurd speculation to project a guy to walk from $700K/yr (whatever) based upon others opinion of his competancy. I both was unclear and went too far in saying that. As I explained above, I meant that if we lose to UNLV, we're likely to have a losing record. If we have a losing record, the expression on his face after the Fresno game suggests to me he will quit. Yeah, that's entirely speculative but it's what I think is likely.
