Move on

Jeff Mason quit Seminary. Stunning news that he just gave me permission to share. Weird. I think he is really happy with his decision but at the same time he feels a great loyalty and did not arrive at the decision lightly.

In other news, Dick Campbell is not long for this world. He has suffered over 14 years with Parkinson's Disease and recently underwent brain surgery to help relieve some of his symptoms with disasterous results. We wish him and his family all the best.

The Devils play tomorrow. Oregon. I predict another loss at the hands of a great Pac-10 team. I have never understood why it is that a coach gets fired when the players are the ones who do or do not win. Until now. Our coach, Dirk, is not qualified to lead a Pac-10 team in my opinion. Why do I think that? First, his teams don't ever seem ready to play. Second, they jump offsides, and commit other mental errors that point directly to coaching. Third, I have never seen a Dirk-lead team come out of the locker room the second half and change one thing about their execution of the game. They don't come out more fired up, they don't change their schemes, they don't play with more despiration, they don't play more motivated. Fourth, I can't understand why our defensive secondary won't turn around and look up for the ball. Yes, this is the secondary coach, but if I'm the head coach, I have seen some good players do it right and I watch my players do it wrong and I kick some collective buttocks.

I put all these things on an aweful coach.
