BLOGTOBERFEST! COLT BRENNAN IMPROBABLY PREFERS HAWAII EDITION.

–Brian’s counting down the top ten college football moments of the year, because Yakety Sax never, ever gets old. We’re sure the top ten will also include this:
–In coaching searches, the interview process usually generates more interest and insight than the eventual announcement of the winning candidate. Lane Kiffin impressed at his interview for the Minnesota head coaching position, but didn’t get the job, which went instead to Someone Named Tim Brewster, which is exactly how we’ll refer to him from now on. Charlie Strong also got an interview, a boon for the SEC because it shows that major programs outside of the South pass on the opportunity to hire obviously talented young coaches simply because they are black*.
–Speaking in the key of race-baiting: sportswriters may rejoice that Charlie Weis is still white and Ty Willingham remains black, since it’s great fodder for filler columns. And in same article, see Bob Davie, announcer! Aficionado of ze camel hair jacket! Possessor of an unusually shaped cranium! And lastly, partisan ex-employee par excellance:
`When you lose to Michigan, you lose to USC and you lose to LSU in a bowl game by a significant score, there will be ramifications from that for Charlie Weis,” Davie told ESPN radio, according to the Chicago Tribune.
“I think the shine is off, to be quite honest. I know going around the country talking to football coaches, particularly head coaches, I think a little bit of the mystique is definitely off.”
Pretty strong stuff. But Davie wasn’t finished.
“It’s hard to say Notre Dame improved this year with probably the No. 1 player in the NFL draft, (quarterback) Brady Quinn, with (receiver) Jeff Samardzija, with potentially five first-round NFL draft picks,” Davie said. “I don’t think they’re as good a team as they were last year. On defense they continued to go backwards.
“Notre Dame has had two successful seasons, two BCS bowl games in a row, but I think it’s hard to say that the program is really going in a positive direction right now.”
