    I've been more pro Huff than most but I don't think he's vindicated yet. Pass blocking looks good but sacks are a QB stat primarily, Huff isn't the reason Penix is great at feeling the rush and getting rid of the ball. Run blocking is improved but not great. And he has gotten his ass handed to him in recruiting of late.

    I didn't think the line issues last year were his fault. I'm not ready to give him the credit for the line improvement this year just yet either. I think scheme has had way more to do with it than Huff both years.

    I will say Huff recruited these guys and for that he should get credit. It's a talented bunch at the top.

    I'm in LIPO mode with him right now.

    In the weekly press conference when speaking of zero sacks of Penix, KDB publicly acknowledged the kids playing on the line, Penix himself for making quick decisions and Grubb for calling great plays. Is it telling that Huff wasn't mentioned? It's telling me that he's not in the top three reasons why the line has improved.

    Sounds like I just made Race's "it's never about the assistant's it's the HC, stupid" argument for him.
    Race Bannon never said it better than when he talked about how Kent Baer had the Pac-10's worst defense three years in a row, but when he got fired and Willingam/Emmert hired NFL assistant Ed Donatell for 2008, and suddenly Donatell becomes the worst coordinator in college football and the Huskies finish last again in the Pac-10 in defense (plus 0-12). "It's always the head coach and never the assistants -- it always starts at the top" became a life lesson for Stalin.

    EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAER/DONATELL!!

    Get Connerly back from Oregon and we can talk about another year

    Also LIPO

    The problem with Huff is that it wasn't just Jimmy that he sucked under. We? can easily blame Jimmy for recent recruiting failures but the goal line blow ups go back to Auburn and before when the head coach was pretty good

    So LIPO

    So LIPO regarding LIPO?

    Also when Wilcocks became DC with our high powered Sark offense we were set to roll

    Or were we?
