I think that Weis is a good example of the "Peter Principle" book that was so popular back in the day - how you will rise to the level of your incompetence. Charlie is great with a clipboard and an offensive plan and a QB to teach. Not so good as a head coach and an alumni/administration ass kisser-politician type.

I'm beginning to think that he will be successful at Florida.

Provided he doesn't get too big for his britches (couldn't resist) and cause a team dividing power struggle. He needs to know his roll-I mean role.

He reminds me of John L Smith. Ideal guy you lock in the pressbox to observe and call down plays. Last guy on earth you'd actually put on the field with kids on game days.

Christian Taylor Chomps his way to World Championship in Triple Jump. :banger:
Sunday, September 04, 2011


Inspired by Dwight Phillips, Taylor flies to Triple Jump glory


Daegu, Korea - Trailing the defending World champion going into the fourth
round of the World Championship Triple Jump Christian Taylor didn't panic.
Instead he remembered what his coach at the University of Florida had told
him.

The result was a spectacular World leading performance of 17.96m that
earned him the gold medal at the age of 21 and left the silver to Phillips
Idowu.

"I am a competitor I feel any athlete knows to turn on that switch," Taylor
explained. "Coach Dick Booth was always somebody that uses the analogy
of a race car, the drag race, and you have that red switch and you had to
hit it on. I did that on my fourth jump.

"I do this event because it's the closest thing I can get to flying and I felt
it when I hit that last jump. Coach Rana (Reider, his new coach in Atlanta,
Georgia) got me really pumped and I looked at Dwight (Phillips) and he gave
me a little salute and with those two combinations I had what it took to get
me where I am."

After leaving the pit he ran in front of the camera and made a puzzling
gesture. Turns out it is the University of Florida "gator chomp" employed
by students at college football games. Incredibly, he has another year of
Hospitality and Tourism studies at the Gainseville, Florida institution.

I think that's a pretty accurate assessment of John L. Smith.

John L coaches Special Teams and Outside Linebackers for the Razorbacks. He plays the 'good cop' role to Petrino's 'hard ass' role.

I'll see him on the sideline with his arm around a player after Petrino chews them a new asshole. The players like him because he has a 'fun' personality and keeps their spirits high.

Which is amusing because Petrino made his bones working under Smith at Idaho, Nevada, Utah State, and Louisville from 1989-1998, save two years at Arizona State.

Funny how things are reversed now.
