    "I had opportunities to be a head coach and to be an assistant, actually some pro opportunities," Toledo said. "But I wanted to be somewhere where I really enjoyed being around the people."
    Lobos coach Rocky Long worked under Toledo as UCLA's defensive coordinator in 1996 and 1997, just before he became New Mexico's coach. Toledo said the reversal in roles won't be a problem.
    "I was the head coach and he was the assistant. That's not a concern," Toledo said. "We're both here for the same reason, we want to win football games. I've sat in that chair. I know who's the boss."
    Long said he expects Toledo to make New Mexico's offense much more productive. The Lobos last season ranked 40th nationally in scoring (29.6 points a game), 43rd in total offense (397.4 ypg) and 86th (197.4 ypg) in passing.
    "We need a spark to get us to the next level," Long said. "I thought we underachieved some this year."
    The Lobos finished second in the Mountain West Conference three straight seasons (2002-2004) and went to three consecutive bowl games. New Mexico was expected to contend again for the conference title this season, but finished 6-5 and failed to get a bowl bid.
    "We've come real close three times to winning a conference championship and haven't won one yet. That means we're missing something," Long said. "It might not be very much."
    Toledo said he plans to run an offense with multiple formations, while emphasizing the running game.
    "If you can run the football, then you can make big plays with play-action passes," he said.
    The 59-year-old Toledo will begin work early next month. Toledo will replace Dan Dodd, who has been New Mexico's offensive coordinator since 2000 but is expected to be reassigned to another position.
    Toledo coached at UCLA from 1996-2002, compiling a 49-32 record that included a school-record 20-game winning streak and two Pac-10 championships.
    "I think Bob Toledo is one of the best offensive mines in the game," Long said. "I think he's one of the best play callers in the game. To get a guy of his caliber gives you an automatic spark in your program."
    Returning quarterback Kole McKamey said some of that spark is already evident.
    "Something different is always exciting," McKamey said. "But when it comes down to it, it's still football. We've got to learn a new offense and we've got to make it work. There's a pretty good buzz around here."

    For What It's Worth
    by Bob Toledo
    I don't like what you seem to becoming. You must always stay "you". You say you don't care. Nonchalance is both good and unusual but don't jump the thin line that separates it from apathy. This is truly an I-don't-care attitude that can and will destroy both society as well as the person. This would be such a waste when all it takes to overcome is a little thought.
    "Know yourself." Once this is done, everything else comes calmly, freely and as a matter of cours. In knowing oneself there must be, first of all, honesty. Complete honesty. If you don't like what you see change it, to suit yourself and no one else.
    Next there must be self-love, for if we do not first love ourselves then we can not give a meaningful love or receive the same from others. Now, in this process we must always keep this first basic honesty. Never try to become as you think others want you. It doesn't satisfy, but takes precedence over, and therefore destroys, anything you may have accomplished. Then comes caring. To care...those words are so important in every aspect of living. "To plant a seed in the earth is to be a mother. To feed a bird on a snowy day is to be a host to God."
    After feeling must come thought and action for without them everything so far accomplished will stagnate. Stagnation is one of the greatest evils of man for it is nothing. Even death is a more complete action for it is a definite end. Stagnation is wandering aimlessly. becoming foul form, lack of action.
    Lastly, I think, comes pride, the respect for oneself to do and to be the best. This is the very quality of living. Never mistake it for vanity, for this is futile and gets us nowhere, whereas pride is a dignity and respect for oneself and one's achievements. After this you can say, not, "I don't care" but "I don't care what anyone else thinks," for you are now what you want, doing your best for yourself and others whether they know it or not.
    This is truly being an individual. Anything less is a facade; anything more is superficial.
    Does all this seem familiar? It should. It is the way we all are born and it is what we let ourselves and others destroy with apathy.
