I think JB Grimes was just the PTBNL in exchange for when we took Hank Hughes off their hands a few years ago.

Lol at Brohm. What if we pick them clean? Fleck, Herman, Taggart and I like our guy. Taggart was nearly fired two years ago before his qb got hot. Strong may be the better hire, but I wonder if he becomes Tubbervillian. After you have been to the top of the mountain, it is hard to get up for g5 football. Just ask the man himself.

I strongly doubt it about Strong. Sure, he's been to the top program wise, but he's never succeeded on the level that Tubbs did. His stint ended very poorly, and i'm sure there's this thorn in his side that will drive him.

That said, he's brought over some of the same offensive staff from UT that stunk it up. I trust he'll succeed at USF, and prolly stick around. I think he's a homerun hire for their program. which, would be good for our conference, and as a result us.

Strong may very well succeed, but it is an open question. Strong was never the greatest x and o guy, but he is recruiting in his sweet spot. This hire could be better than ours, if he has fire in his belly. I can see Herman and Fleck tanking in their new jobs.

Just because I don't know a better place for it, but Oregon has had several players hospitalized with Rhabdomyolysis after "intense" work outs with the new S+C coordinator Taggart brought with him to Oregon.

Not a great way to launch your tenure up in Eugene...

I like the Strong hire down at USF... That is, as you say, his "Sweet Spot." The question is how does Strong recruit without long-time friend and ally, Clint Hurtt. But he comes into a pretty well stocked program at USF and it's his home territory.

Fleck is set up to fail at Minnesota. He'd have been better off taking the Purdue job, IMO. That Minnesota situation is a mess and a half right now.

Herman...that's a question mark. UT is more of a fit for him but the pressure to win there is going to be immediate and non-stop. To me, Herman didn't prove much at Houston...he just wasn't there long enough to prove anything. Time will tell.

Strong and Fleck will both do just fine.

Rhabdomyolysis is a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. It results from the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to serious complications such as renal (kidney) failure. This means the kidneys cannot remove waste and concentrated urine. In rare cases, rhabdomyolysis can even cause death. However, prompt treatment often brings a good outcome.

Tough to impress. He beat top 10 teams Florida St., Oklahoma and Louisville and got Houston a Peach Bowl trophy. He arguably accomplished more at Houston than BK did here.

i'd say it's - he inarguably accomplished more.

That said, BK had more of a track record. so, you kinda knew what you was getting. anyway, we'll see.

Thanks for the tip!

Oregon strength coach suspended 1 month after players hospitalized


Oregon has suspended strength and conditioning coach Irele Oderinde without pay for a month, the result of incidents over the last week that left three Ducks football players hospitalized after offseason conditioning workouts that were led by him.

In addition to Oderinde's suspension, Oregon changed its system of reporting, with the strength and conditioning coach now answering to the Ducks' director of performance and sports science, Andrew Murray, instead of to new head coach Willie Taggart.

As of Tuesday evening, Ducks tight end Cam McCormick and offensive lineman Sam Poutasi were still patients at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield, Oregon, the hospital confirmed to ESPN. Offensive lineman Doug Brenner, who also had been admitted, was no longer listed as an in-house patient.

On Monday, The Oregonian reported that Poutasi's mother had said her son had been diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition in which skeletal muscle tissue is rapidly broken down and products of that process are released into the bloodstream.

Depending on the severity, it can be harmful to the kidneys and might lead to kidney failure, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

"I have visited with the three young men involved in the incidents in the past few days and I have been in constant contact with their families, offering my sincere apologies," Taggart said in a news release.

"As the head football coach, I hold myself responsible for all of our football-related activities and the safety of our students must come first. I have addressed the issue with our strength and conditioning staff, and I fully support the actions taken today by the university. I want to thank our medical staff and doctors for caring for all of our young men, and I want to apologize to the university, our students, alumni and fans."

Former football strength and conditioning coach Jim Radcliffe, who had held the position before Taggart's arrival, will take over the offseason workouts for the next month.

Multiple sources described the workouts to The Oregonian as "akin to military basic training, with one said to include up to an hour of continuous push-ups and up-downs."

However, a source told ESPN.com that the workouts weren't as strenuous as The Oregonian reported, indicating for example that players haven't started using weights yet. Several Ducks players also took to Twitter to downplay the reported severity of the workouts.

And another one for Taggart... Yikes. Rumor is there were recruits in the car, but the article implies otherwise...

Quote:Police: University of Oregon assistant football coach arrested for DUI

EUGENE, Ore. – A University of Oregon assistant football coach faces charges for driving under the influence after police pulled him over early Sunday morning.

It’s been less than a week since the University of Oregon hired co-offensive coordinator David Reaves. He was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. for drinking and driving near 10th Avenue and Willamette Street.

According to the Eugene Police Department, officers suspected 38-year-old Reaves was impaired when they stopped him.

After investigation, they charged him with reckless driving, reckless endangerment and DUII.

The university’s athletic department placed him on administrative leave.

University of Oregon Athletic Director Rob Mullens released the following statement regarding the arrest:

“University of Oregon assistant football coach David Reaves was arrested last night and charged with Driving Under the Influence by members of the Eugene Police Department. Reaves has been placed on administrative leave and the process to terminate his employment with cause has commenced. The University has high standards for the conduct of employees and is addressing this matter with the utmost of seriousness.”

After the incident, Duck fans had a lot to say.

“I think he should be holding himself to a higher standard if he's inspiring players to be the best they can be. I definitely don't think it's acceptable. He just had a new job, but that also could be why he did that. Not smart,” said Cahill Shpall, a University of Oregon student.

“Hopefully it's just like a random incident and doesn't really effect the rest of the team, but let's just hopefully just make sure that doesn't happen again,” said Michael Soto, another student.

Police officials said there was an adult passenger in the car with Reaves when he was pulled over. Police officials said the passenger was not a student or athlete.

“We can’t release passenger info prior to adjudication. It’s considered an open case until then, passenger was not charged with a crime,” said Melinda Mclaughlin, Public Information Officer with the Eugene Police Department.

The Ducks hired Reaves on January 17.

With his arrest, he risks losing his two-year contract worth $300,000 a year.

The tight-ends coach was previously an assistant coach at the University of South Florida. He coached for four seasons under the Ducks’ new head coach Willie Taggart.

Just FYI...

UC alum Blue Adams has left the WVU coaching staff to coach DB's for Strong at USF...
