    Here's a little info on English's recruiting potential. Sounds like he has alot of West coast connections. This is from Scout.com.

    While everyone recruits the top kids, and it's nothing special to do so, one area in which English excelled was his ability to spot talent hiding under the radar. A native of Pomona, Calif., and a graduate of the University of California-Berkeley, English was the defensive backs coach at Arizona State before taking the same position at Michigan, and he knows the West. Defensive lineman Alan Branch was hidden away in the relative football-sparse state of New Mexico when he was offered a scholarship from Michigan, which he later accepted.

    With recruiting being a major aspect of any college coaching endeavor, and English having substantial ties to the fertile West Coast region, particularly his talent-laden home state of California, he was a major contributor to Michigan's recruiting efforts in the region.

    I live in Louisville. If LSU will hire English AND Kragthorpe I'll drive them down I-65 myself.

    Did you see Louisville play in 07? They were absolutely the worst tackling team that I have seen and I've been watching football since the 60's. Louisville tackled like our db's cover.
    This year Louisville was respectable. I would say he did an outstanding job.

    Im sorry but you can only have so much talent at Lousville to work with. there getting blown out because they aren't making tackles not because they aren't in the right position. thats the players fault you can't blame Ron. Irs rumored Scott Schafer is jumping ship (which i won't miss him) for the Miam(OH) HC job, so this is our change to bring him back.

    They had about five touchdowns where the WR had 5-7 yards on the DB. This Rutgers team, that started 1-5, does not have Florida talent.

    I turned it on with a minute to go in the half and saw 49-0 Rutgers.

    I could not believe any Rutgers team could ever score 49 in on half, much less an entire game.

    Talk about mailing it in.
