I think Collins is a good coach, but after the Ole Miss game, I'm not devastated about seeing him go (although I know it was not all his fault).Quote:

I'm still trying to figure out from which file cabinet we dug out the Chris Wilson Oxford game plan. Or why.Quote:

Where is Manny? Mixed on this due to how he left. Wifey does not like Starkvegas either does she?
Lol. Good one.Quote:

I think Manny has been humbled a good bit. He left for Texas and wound up at Ruston. The grass ain't always greener. I think if given the chance Manny would come back with renewed vigor ready to coach a damn good SEC level defense.
Just as long as he doesn't do that 1b shit.
What's the infatuation with Diaz? I don't think he's that good & the #'s pretty much prove it.
I don't know about Manny, he's still young and learning. I'm just glad I'm not Dan at the moment. With four DCs in and out in a short time, this hire needs to be perfect and that don't exist.
I think I might agree here.Quote:

How about a guy like Barry Odom at Memphis? I thought he did a heck of a job there. Only thing is he is a secondary coach as well and not a LB coach.
