The marketing of the entire conference and each individual school is horrendous. UW, Oregon (to some extent albeit very faggy but the kids love it), and USC are doing a great job on the social media front (graphics, content, involvement etc.). The rest of the schools are just pure aids. UW's marketing as a whole is yikes, from the uniforms (hopefully they get fixed) to the overall branding. SC is SC. Oregon is just trying to hard.Dennis_DeYoung said:

If this isn't a fucking crisis, I don't know what the fuck is.
The three schools that combined social media content, uniforms, branding, and just general marketing the best are Clemson, Ohio State, and Alabama hmmmm. The best is Clemson however.
The conference marketing as a whole is dreck. It has no identity and is all over the map. The tv stations suck, the social media accounts suck, everything sucks. Fire Larry Scott and please bring in more talented marketers and designers.

Does Washington State even have an in-house designer/marketing department because their social media shit is pathetic. There are MWC, MAC and FCS schools (Eastern WA, and a lot of the bigger east coast FCS schools ) that put out much much much better content.
ASU is turrrrible.
OSU lol.
Cal eww.
USC is boring.
UCLA is decent.
Oregon is good but super gay (their brand is weak and faggy).
Stanford CHRYST.
Colorado bhahahahahaha.
Utah, the most mormon thing I've ever seen.
UofA uhhhh see WSU.
UW is alright but could be amazing. creative staff is unbelievable but their marketing department bahahaha christ. Don't we have the foster school or no?

I've been saying this shit for years. It is never good when Alabama or Oklahoma beats out USC or UCLA for a Cali recruit. Not only for conference perception but for the size of the pool we are recruiting in.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Also every kid that goes to Bama from Cali or Hawaii makes it easier for the next kid faced with that decision and from Bama's perspective makes it a better value proposition for them to expend resources out West. -

Why this is needed is a discussion for another time. This post will deal with the reality we face.
The white fast strategy coach is like a Black coach in that he is known as a "great recruiter" who "rolls the ball out and lets them play". Maybe not a great Xs and Os coach but relates to the kids and is a players coach. Often know for swaggy behavior that is embarrassing to adults but the kids really like it.
You have your fast strategy white coaches who can't seem to win anything like Lane Kiffin or Rick Neuheisel but getting mentioned by Lil Wayne should at least get Kiffin honorable mention. Kliff Klingsbury is on the hot seat.
Who is on Mount Rushmore?
Jimmy Johnson
The GOAT. He finished the work that Schnellenberger started in turning a sleepy white Miami University into the center of hip hop, recruiting violations, and championship football by recruiting anyone that could play regardless of academics or criminal record with a promise of a fast track to the NFL. He enjoyed beating the blue bloods and the whitest of the white Notre Dame got his particular scorn.
Barry Switzer
Barry is second because Jimmy beat him like a rented mule. Not many others could say the same. Barry took over OU when Chuck Fairbanks left to Colorado and Barry ended up hanging 84 on old Chuck. Barry took all the best players from under Darryl Royal's nose and beat him with them. Barry knew Sooner fans wanted national titles or else and coached and recruited accordingly. He played Black quarterbacks earlier than most.
Bobby Bowden
Bobby said he made it a point to never drive past the players parking lot. Bobby knew he had to beat Miami. Bobby turned FSU into Miami.
John McKay
People forget that McKay started a Black QB in the 60's as well as a double murderer Heisman winner.
Bill McCartney, Don James, and others were among those solid white coaches who went fast strategy late to get an elusive National Title. Chris Petersen may be the next one
Hey I'm race I watched college football back in the day like Pup and 2, but what are u fucking talking about?
BTW, Rick won a rose bowl. This program really needed one. Kiffin doesnt belong in same sentence. The legends you speak of were great coaches but just ain't seeing point of post...but what a new?nightyear off. -

Dabo is a clown, but holy shit: results.
Dabo keeps high standards and he does not fuck around with assistant coaches. He creates an atmosphere where he would NEVER protect under-recruiting white dudes. He needs everyone to be great at everything and he demands it.
I have a lot of respect for the way he's done it. Dabo is weird, but he's a fast-strategy guy and he's tuned in with the fast-strategy kids. Chris Petersen has a great personality, but his bullshit tight-ass routine is fucking pointless.
Dabo is open as shit and is winning Natties.
None of our media members have the balls to ask Pete about the fact that literally every other program has a big spring game. We just suck our own dicks and tell ourselves it doesn't matter. -

None of our media members have the balls to ask Pete about the fact that literally every other program has a big spring game. We just suck our own dicks and tell ourselves it doesn't matter.
The reason why the Pac-12 sucks is because USC is down and our brand is killing us, so like 30% of good players are leaving the west whereas only 5-7% leave the south.
And Pete wouldn't win shit at South Carolina. USC is like winning at Cal. He would get them good, but never Natties.
I'm so sick of this fucking one-factor thinking. Oh they have a lot of talent there. YEAH BUT THEY HAVE MORE TEAMS SHIT FOR BRAINS.
In 2015-16 the top 4*+ talent producing states were
TX: 59.5
CA: 54.5
FL: 45.5
GA: 33
OH: 22.5
But here are the amounts of P5 schools in-region (overlapping conference ties or adjacent states):
TX: 24 (Big XII/SEC)
CA: 12 (Pac-12)
FL: 29 (SEC/ACC)
GA: 29 (SEC/ACC)
OH: 42 (B1G, SEC, ACC)
So, basically even though there are more players in the south, the competition is much more fierce. It gets even heavier if you consider the amount of tier 1 and 2 teams within a 550 mile radius of primary population centers (this is the length you need to connect UW to LA.
Near CA: (3-4)
UW, UCLA and USC (Oregon?).
Near to TX: (8-9)
A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, LSU, Arkansas, Iowa and Bama (Wiscy just out of range; Colorado sucks, but maybe?).
Near to FL: (12)
FSU, UF, Miami, UGA, Bama, Auburn, Clemson, Tennessee, LSU, VTech, Ohio State, A&M
Near to GA: (14)
FSU, UF, Miami, UGA, Bama, Auburn, Clemson, Tennessee, LSU, VTech, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Notre Dame
Near to OH: (15)
Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, VTech, FSU, UF, UGA, Clemson
So - the teams in the south are competing with 3x the big time programs (or more) on average.
There are no fucking excuses.

Very true. Watch the first 30 for 30 and you get the distinct impression that Jimmy was able to relate to those kids. That whole thing with their prez at the time? That was real shit, not made-for-TV dram. Tad Foote made Gerbs look like a community college dropout. Dude was all academis all the time, he liked Miami lilly white, and had much, much different aspirations for the school than what came to pass. I loved the quote by, I think, Randall Hill: "we put this mother fucker on the map. you don't like us now, then to hell witcha!"RaceBannon said:The dearth of non white head coaches in college football requires cultural appropriation white head coaches who coach fast strategy Black players better than the rest.

Jimmy was no stranger to poor white trash and thus related MUCH more readily to blick inner city than to Tad "Ivy League" Foote. Foote and Johnson fucking HATED each other. The kid knew Foote didn't want them there, and loved Jimmy for being with them. Remember, the U is not in the hood. It's in fucking Coral Gables.
The thing that gets too often overlooked about Jimmy were his technical coaching skills. He made a few blunders as a HC during his time at Miami, one of which cost them the national championship in 86. But Jimmy was as good as they come on the D side of the ball. He may have learned it from someone else, but he is to be credited with changing the way you play D by focusing on speed and quickness at positions where the focus up the then was entirely on size and strength. Compare Jimmy for Switzer for a minute. In the end, the key difference comes down to this: Jimmy had an answer for Barry's offense. Barry had no answer for Jimmy's defense.
That, and he could find talent under a rock. He found Cortez, Russell Maryland, Steve Walsh ... not everyone on those teams was highly recruited. I think next to nobody wanted Maryland, and he found Kennedy playing at a JC in Arkansas with hardly any other programs interested. And what he did in Dallas with the Walker trade - the players he got in the 2nd and 3rd round for what seemed like an eternity - is an all-time move. The guy can spot a player and rarely misses.

Spurrier and Bobby Bowden are on the Mt. Rushmore of white boys coaching up the bruthas.
Jimmy Johnson, Bowden, Spurrier and Switzer.
John McKay should probably get a plaque because he taught the Bear about the value of the fast, dark skinned ones.

I thought of Spurrier too but Danny Weurfell...................

Osborne was actually who I meant when I put McCartney in honorable mention as a white coach who went to the fast side to win a title. Osborne is the poster boy for that
He could go 11-2 in his sleep with roided out white boys but he had to go fast strategy to beat the Florida schools and Oklahoma
He doesn't make the mount because he just did it at the end like our own Don James -
Yeah, but boy did he finish skrong. 2.5 NT's to James' and Promise Keeper's .5 NT's each. And he was at fucking Nebraska so the distance to FS recruiting country was even mor that Switzer at Oklahomo.RaceBannon said:Osborne was actually who I meant when I put McCartney in honorable mention as a white coach who went to the fast side to win a title.
