Walker and SDSU

Pete Carroll, another class move by this first class individual. Has any ohter head coach in America done more to promote his assistants and former assistants?

Gotta Love Pete Carroll

So is Pete Carroll just a wonderful guy or is he looking out for his (& his Trojans) best interests (i.e., not having to face Walker's defenses in the coming years)?

VB, agreed. That is a very classy move by Coach Pete Carroll. You don't hear Karl Dorrell doing the same thing, do you?

As an aside, I am sure that the SDSU AD will put GREAT WEIGHT on the recommendation by Coach Pete Carroll. In legal terms, certain evidence is accorded heavier weight than others in a court of law. Here, Coach Pete Carroll's recommendation is a heavy as lead anvil.

Pete Carroll = Class, Integrity, Honesty & Toughness

Best wishes to Coach DeWayne Walker as he rides off into the San Diego State Sunset.

LAWYER JOHN

I'm sure he doesn't want to face a Walker defense with increased talent. SUC has issues playing the our defense with the talent level we have had the last three years.

pfffffff. Pete Carroll.. What a bafoon.

DOHN!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU LEAVING? YOU CAN'T TAKE A VACATION!!!!!!

Bring on Jill!

:)

Pete Carroll has put in calls supporting just about every assistant he's had that moved on to the League or elsewhere in college football.

Of course getting Kiffin the Oakland Raiders job and moving Sarkisian to Washington may have been in USC's best interest.

LAWYER JOHN: Spoken like a true Trojan! Class, integrity, and honesty? Really?! Class and integrity really pop up when you recruit thugs and allow blatant intimidation tactics to run through your program!

A couple things:

-I do want Walker to get a HC gig because he deserves one. I just don't think SDSU is the best he can get. Sticking around UCLA for another 2-3 years while the offense picks up will get him more attention than coaching at a dead end SDSU. SDSU is not going to launch him to a better HD gig.

-Sarkisian wasn't exactly an offensive mastermind at usc, sure Petey has no problem losing him to UW.

-Carroll would be considered a reference because Walker worked for him before, so this isn't like Carroll is calling out of the blue recommeding Walker.

come on vb, remediation/and or spelling help should never be necessary for bruin grads, or uc grads in general. you're making us all look bad. the word is buffoon.

Not a big deal. Pete knows that Dwalk is a great coach just like everyone else does. Pete worked with him for awhile and knows he deserves to be a head coach. Pete DID NOT do this so he does not have to face him. Next year SC will have a new O coordinator, and we will have a new D coordinator. I dislike PC but not everything he does is bad. Now his players are a different story...

Good luck Dwalk, you deserve a better job but I will root for you to turn that program around, just like you did our defense.

You guys maybe right, but if Carroll thought Walker was so great why did he fire Walker after one year @ USC? Just say, Carroll always does something for a reason.

WALKER SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE UW JOB. That was HIS job. I like UW and Seattle is awesome, but I hope Sarkisian bombs up there and they can him in two years and then hire D Walker after the Bruins catch some wind offensively to match the defense.

Let's not also forget that UCLA plays SDSU next season. Should be interesting to see Walker go up against his own defense.

Gross. Stop with the "class" nonsense.
Pete did it for selfish reasons. He doesn't like having to face Walker. Walker is the biggest threat to usc. Pete wants him gone, and out of the pac-10. That is his motive.

ucibruin,

don't worry, VB is NOT a UCLA grad. Your instincts and reasoning are totally correct.

It hurt Pete Carroll when he lost Ed Orgeron after putting in a good word for him at Ole Miss.

But, I do agree with Bailey in that Walker should have gotten the UW job.

VB never said he was a UCLA grad. But rest assured, VB will be an attendee next Fall. Sorry guys.

And VB comes from a long line accomplished (and famous) Bruins.... so he has standing.

That, and the mere fact that I tailgate with Brian Dohn gives me relevant standing.

Hey Now, Good times are on the Horizon, I always wanted to live in a college dorm!

Nice call VB, Its not always about coaching.

We LOVE you, VB!

God forbid I ever work for the Daily Bruin. You will all be screwed. My blog will be called "pfffffff."

And yes, I did predict after the Tennessee game that our team would still SUCK. And everyone crucified me. All the homers on here were thinking we were Rose Bowl bound because we crept by Tennessee. I saw right through that delusion. Even though that game was pretty fun.

Nobody denied that the team would struggle. Many people did take a more mature approach to the topic though.

What's next...you're going to predict that tomorrow is Tuesday?

Congratulations. That relentlessly positive thing went right over your head...

Considering the smart money is on UCLA hiring Norton (one of SC's best recruiters) if Walker leaves, I doubt Carroll would recommend him out of his own best interest. Also Walker wasn't fired at SC, he took an NFL job.

LOL LOL LOL... "NOBODY denied that the team would struggle."

Are you kidding me? You must be new to the blog? People thought we were Pac10 champs after the Tennessee game. People were yelling at Dohn for saying that our O'line was horrible. People asked don't to recant his statements! Bruins were in front of the Rose Bowl after the game yelling at Petros Papadacus for saying we suck. I'm sorry, Mack, but the Bruins were complete homers after the Tennessee game. VB was one of the few who saw THROUGH the win.

Oh yeah, and Tennessee sure had a great year too. pffffff...

VB isn't even a UCLA ALUMNI? pffffff...

People criticized you because you approached the topic from the point of view of an 8th grader.

Some of your points may have been valid but you articulated them like Beavis. Some of us seem to have a little tact. Some of us seem to realize that Rome wasn't built in day and it takes time turn around a program.

We forgive your myopic point of view and inability to see the big picture, let alone remain relentless positive.

Hey, VB does not tailgate with me. That's an insult (to him and his group). I tailgate with VB and the group, and man, they are good at it.
I wouldn't mind them packing up the family truckster and joining the Dohn family for the Rutgers bowl game later this month.

Dohn got pretty upset the last time someone impersonated him...

Thanks, Brian. You are welcome anytime. We are still trying to decide the menu for the home opener next season. You'll be the first to know!

And that invitation extends to EVERYONE on here. But none of you jerks ever come by the tailgate! If you wanna talk to VB, and see that i am not as big of a jerk as I come across, please stop by next season.

Have a good vacation, Dohn! I'll take care of Jill for you!

This is the same Carroll who advised Walker NOT to take the UCLA job. I'm sure Carroll is doing everything he can not to have to face Walker's D again.

LOL. "Impersonated him."

Whatever you say, Pink Panther.

Poor BruinFBBB, you must feel like a big idiot. VB merely pointed out to all of you homers that we wouldn't be that good this year. It doesn't mean he sat around at the Rose Bowl and rooted for the Bruins to lose. He just simply stated that despite the amazing win against Tennessee we still weren't going to be that good. I know you are upset that VB was right and you were wrong, but hey sometimes it's okay to not be able to know everything.

I'll say it again:

I don't have a problem with the point VB is trying to make at all. I just wish he'd use a little tact.

But hey, the blog is what you make of it. Keep up the 8th-grade shenanigans. Knock yourself out...

Thanks Anon. Whoever you are. Welcome to the UBTA!

Look, I love the Bruins. Not in a gross way. But I bleed blue and gold. I want to see us succeed more than anything. But I am also not afraid to leave the homer syndrome once in a while and look at our teams objectively. Try it, BruinFBBB. You'll find that you will enjoy the sports a lot more.

Saying, "WE SUCK," is 8th grade shenanigans?

Some of us take the relentlessly-positive approach to objectivity.

Some of us act like 8th-graders.

Its possible to take different roads to arrive at the same conclusion. I drive my big-boy car while you stick it out on your tricycle...

Brian and his family probably haven't even gotten on plane for their vacation and the blog is getting out of control. We the cats away the mice will play.

I'm with you on this on BruinFBBB. We can all cheer on the Bruins but we can do with tact and not just make posts to try and get a rise out of people.

BTW, I really hope Walker doesn't head to SDSU. Hopefully something will be announced shortly!

I drive a Ford Explorer. I'm not sure who makes the "Big-boy" cars. Japanese?

I was making an analogy. Try to keep up. I'm getting tired of explaining things to you. But I'll keep at it. Since you'll be a Bruin next year and all...

I'm already a Bruin. I'm a community college Bruin. But hopefully next Fall I'll be an UCLA Bruin. I'll find out in March or April. I'll let you know.

*Fingers crossed*

I thought you were a married 22 yr-old with a real job and responsibilities?

I am. Took a 3 years off after high school, but returned to community college a year and a half ago. Got a decent office job, but obviously want to do more with my life, so I went back to school. I have the GPA and all the other elements to get into UCLA, but sometimes you never know. We'll see.

But yes, I am married. Almost 2 years now.

... And I turned 23 on Friday.

I wondered who the gal watering me was!

Thanks for the invite VB. And BruinFBBB, once again. How is saying we aren't going to be successful this year 8th grader like? I'm confused. It would be one thing if VB was running around here typing expletives left and right, but he isn't. He is simply making a point and having an opinion. He isn't attacking anyone and certainly isn't being rude to anyone on this blog. After all this is a blog, on the internet. If you don't like it stop visiting it. Oh and are you sure you know what tact is?

You know what BruinFBBB...what was I thinking? Supporting VB's rants and pulling a "its the free internet, if you dont like it then go elsewhere" really is stupid of me too. If I had any sort of guts then I wouldn't be Anonymous, but until then I'll continue to be a coward and type like this.

...and be way hypocritical.
Pffff

If I designed shirts that said "pffffff," would people buy it?

VB didn't you predict 8 wins? And you're calling people out for being homers?

True. But I predicted 8 wins while the rest of the people on here predicted 10+

Next?

Now I'm starting to get confused

Don't worry it will soon become clear to all of you still on the other side

Pete Carroll is a coward. His reasons for doing this were purely selfish: he doesn't want to have to face Dewayne Walker's defenses ever again. I can't blame him though.

Hey VB how about a T Shirt that says:

My Passion Bucket is full of pffffff

So you still a big homer, but slightly less so than the homers you're calling out. Nice.

So do you think Pete hasn't made that same telephone call on behalf of Nick Holt who is also interviewing for that job ?

My Passion Bucket is full of pffffff

I will buy a dozen in XL!

Man, can I just say that I love you guys? Seriously. I think it was last week Dohn rated the commentary on here something like a C, but I think it's awesome. I LMAO on pretty much a daily basis. VB, you rock! Pffffffffff is classic. Sign me up for one of those t-shirts! I stopped going to Bruins Nation a long time ago, but I can't get enough of Dohn's blog and the commentary here. Keep it up guys!

Dohn's going to slap our wrists when he gets back. Or maybe he'll finally take away the "anonymous" posts to hold people back...

One thing is for sure...we're all Bruin fans and can share at laughing at this:

http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/miller_percy00.html

walker shoulda been our HC. Now we have slick new weasel

DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY THINK PETE IS AFRAID OF THE UCLA DEFENSE....WOW IT MUST REALLY SUCK TO TO BE A BRUIN!!
