Pac 10 Coaches are singing the same tune

Oregon's Coach arguing with a Ref Most football conferences have a dominant coach, one that across the nation even outside of conference following people can point to and say, that's the face of _________. This season the Pac 10 has not offered up one such coach, in fact just the opposite. With most of the Head Coaches in the Pac 10 being relatively new, especially in comparison to the longevity of the football programs that make up the Pac 10, the song that is being sung by the the Pac 10 Leadership, "it takes time to turn around a football program".

Singing the lead parts in this sad song are Chip Kelly and Steve Sarkisian. Both first year coaches in the Pacific Ten Conference and both suffering from lackluster seasons so far, why should we care... in my opinion, we shouldn't. I'm not faulting the coaches totally... no coach can take a losing team and make them national champions in one season, but it does seem to me that instead of blaming the "time" why not be up front and say, "we are working on x, y and z" at least then we would know they were doing something.


What may be even worse than the sad tune being sung by these new comers is that relative veterans like Dennis Erickson do not seem to be providing great leadership either... what it boils down to is that if things don't change fast, this will not be a great season for Pac 10 teams, and for once I don't think you can lay all the blame on the players.
