Idk man, people always say that, yet they find a way to get these teams filled. You could say the same thing for Stanford.Htowngriz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 9:49 amSure, but the difference in academic standards probably makes it a wash at best.BadlandsGrizFan wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 9:36 am Dang...SLO gotta be a lot easier place to recruit to then Cheney.
Look out for Poly in a couple years.
Montana is no place for the idler, the penniless, the feeble in will or body!

Not unless all three options are passing options.dupuyer griz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 9:07 am I guess we can safely assume that cal poly will no longer run a triple option.

Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening.

I think he said that when there was speculation that maybe he was interviewing for the UM job opening in 2015.Great Day To Be An Eagle wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 12:54 pmDid he say that when he left? I don't remember that

Choate went from ~375K to ~175K when he went to Bozeman. Not sure if that's large or not.Grizzlies1982 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 10:21 amChoate didn’t leave a million dollar salary. He was an assistant to an assistant at UDub.

I don’t know about Cal, but coordinators at Udub earn $1.3 a year.
As to Baldwin, Cal hasn’t been rolling with him as coordinator. He is a very talented coach but may be on thin ice. He should do well at Poly (given some time).
Cal Poly may have a higher ceiling that EWU but it is a different animal when it comes to recruiting. I would assume that many athletes he is use to getting will not cut the mustard at CP. But the door will open for the higher academic achieving athlete to play in his system.

7-5 at Cal will not get you fired. Especially with a win over arch rival Stanford.

From what I was hearing weeks ago, he was going to be fired. He and Wilcox are friends but, a lot of people very unhappy with Cal's offense, and they were going to have to part ways. Getting a job though gives Wilcox the out to not have to let him go, but from what I heard, he was going to be gone one way or another after the season was over.
As for Poly, if Beau completely overhauls the offense immediately, man that's going to take some real tricky work with scholarships Gonna have to essentially take a lot of guys schollies away so they can give them to more WR's, QB's TE's and bigger OL. I'm sure they have plenty of running backs and maybe a few skill guys, but I don't think Poly has the OL to convert and I know they don't have enough WR's and basically, every QB on the roster is now not good enough. It will be interesting to see what they look like come next September in Missoula.

Well some good news about this.
The Griz do not have to prepare for the stinking triple option the week before they play Cal Poly

Too late. 1/4 of Baldwin's pay is contractually paid in In-N-Out Burger gift certificates. It's been that way since Zips in Cheney.

EWU score 32 or more points against the Griz in 7 of 10 games he coached. He was also 6-4 against the Griz.kemajic wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 9:21 pmHow successful were we in preparing for a BB offense at EWU?fltheadgriz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 5:23 pm Well some good news about this.
