San Diego State (Rocky Long): The former New Mexico coach knows the Mountain West well (he went to five bowls in 10 years) and played a big part in Hoke's success as defensive coordinator.

He was a "best of the rest".

I pretty much agree with Mandel with a few exceptions.

Jerry Kill has had serious health problems: C. Todd Graham is a stud: A. (By the time TCU gets to the Big East in 2012, Pitt will be competing with the Frogs for the conference championship.) Replacing Ralph Friedgen with Randy Edsall: D.

Maybe Rocky isn't an upgrade on Hoke but SDSU did the best with what it had available under the circumstances. Maryland didn't upgrade itself at all by firing Friedgen and hiring Edsall.
