If Rocky can get some DB's who can actually run and cover, that D will be really tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a degree. In 2018, SJSU was 1-11 but anyone who watched that team regularly could see a LOT of improvement from the 2017 team that was 2-10 (OK, except for the Army game). Often the improvement precedes the winning, since it can take time (and good coaching) to develop a winner's mentality and learn how to win the games that are close and winnable. So the 1-11 record was very disappointing but we could *see* this team was better in most ways beyond the wins and losses. And in 2019 it started translating into more wins (including payback on Army AT West Point), and that's continued to carry over into 2020 (obviously).

Things are looking bright in NM. Don't sleep on Danny G. either. I've been closely following SDSU football for 30 years and probably the worst position coach we've had during that time was Chris Ash - who amazingly managed to get hired as the HC of a B1G school not long ago. Ash coached the secondary for Chuck "Fourth and" Long and it was the most undisciplined mess since Barry Lamb was the DC during the Faulk years. Yet Gonzales kept bringing in better and better talent and coaching them up and the last few years we've had several guys who were first team all-conference and a couple were drafted. So I see a good future for the Lobos. The opposite is the case with USU. Rehiring Andersen was a major mistake as many of us here thought when it was announced. IMO, if USU just elevates the interim guy to HC, that will be another mistake. In the meantime, Andersen did not recruit well and USU's current class looks to me to be the worst in the conference. No bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky's love has always been coaching defense, not running the whole show. He would never admit it but I have little doubt his HC interest was pretty much all about earning 3-4 times as much doing that job. Now he and his family are set for life financially. 2. Rocky would also never admit it but he's as unable to handle criticism from the media as is Donald Trump. Rocky isn't as verbal about it as Trump but the last couple years at SDSU it was sometimes embarrassing how he condescendingly dealt with members of the media during his press conferences.

He got tired being criticized for his boring offense and because he's so old school, all that matters to him is winning conference titles. Hell, I'm not sure Rocky even knows what the NY6 bowl is. Rocky also never really was San Diego. Although he loved living in Mission Beach for its quirkiness, Rocky clearly never much liked having to rub elbows with the Gucci crowd of rich lawyers and businessmen whose donations are so crucial. The only time I ever spoke with him beyond just saying hi was at a gathering like that when I walked up to introduce myself. We spoke for maybe 10 minutes and part of the conversation concerned how ill at ease we both felt being surrounded by such people. I'm pretty sure Rocky was the only person there wearing cowboy boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even called them pre season games. side note I really miss the MTN I loved watching Rocky’s along with the other coaches show each week. The Masters 5k road race All American.
