Remember that old gimmick, the “ACC Wheel of Desinty,” that Rece Davis and the guys on College Football Final used to use? Now retired for a few years, I think it’s time for them to bring it back out, and re-brand it. Because while Clemson is running away with things down in the Atlantic Coast […]

There was a time when West Virginia played physical football. Right now, WVU is soft. Syracuse, an average team, bullied the Mountaineers Friday night en route to a 49-23 victory at the Carrier Dome. In just three short years, Doug Marrone has been a miracle worker at his alma mater. Syracuse has defeated WVU in […]

Don’t call it a comeback. No seriously, don’t. It sucks when you hit a gambling cold streak. But when you finally get off it, it’s like the first time you wake up drunk from the night before in college. You feel a little weak still, but you’re alive. God dammit, you’re alive. Last week: 4-2 […]

Will Rick Neuheisel make it through the weekend as UCLA’s coach? How about the month? If you ask me, Neuheisel shouldn’t have been allowed to return for the second half of the Bruins abysmal performance against Arizona Friday night. But that’s apparently not the plan, according to UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero. Certainly Guerrero watched […]
One of the primary reasons we started Coaches By The Numbers is our belief in the power of coaching. Talent of course matters, as evidenced by taking a quick look at the last decade of national champions in college football. However, even teams with every advantage possible struggle, at least relatively so, when they don’t […]

With Mike Stoops recently fired at Arizona, and Rick Neuheisel on the brink of being terminated at UCLA, Thursday night’s game between the two programs has taken on additional relevancy….especially if you’re a hot young coordinator looking for a head coaching gig. But on the field tonight’s showdown makes for some interesting storylines. What can […]
