A good scorecard:

I am a big fan of Franklin and Peterson. Watch U. of Washington Huskies re-emerge as a dominant team in the PAC12.

I know Peterson is a great coach, but it's interesting watching the other Boise State coaches move on to other jobs. Houston Nutt petered out at Arkansas and then Ole Miss, and then Hawkins did horribly at Colorado. Peterson, however, should fit in better at Washington - I wonder if he looked at the previous coaches slides when he took his time making his next move.

I agree with the article on Sarkisian. Uninspired choice, we'll see how it pans out.

Petrino will interesting to watch, I'll hand them that.

misleading title. . . Was excited for a second, thinking SMU got a new coach

I actually like the Sarkisian hire. The last time USC had an uninspired hire, it led to their resurgence as the premiere team in college football for close to a decade.

Sarkisian had UW headed in the right direction. He's a quality coach and recruiter. That is a very good hire for SC.

Charlie Strong a C. So much for best coaching job in the history of the world with up to a billion dollars a year for a staff if they wanted.
