Re: Final Coaches Poll


Roy Lang III ‏@RoyLangIII
.@LATechFB (9-3) receives votes in final coaches poll, even w/out help of former HC Sonny Dykes, who failed to votehttp://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20130108/SPORTS/130108021/Oregon-finishes-No-2-LSU-No-12-USA-Today-Coaches-Poll …



Three coaches, Ruffin McNeill of East Carolina, Mike MacIntyre of Colorado (and formerly of San Jose State) and Sonny Dykes of California (and formerly of Louisiana Tech), could not be reached by 1:45 a.m. ET to provide ballots.

5. Texas A&M
17. Utah State
21. San Jose State
(36.) Louisiana Tech

SD has serious problems finishing things.

Pretty shady, and I think ND should have dropped further too.

What douches... both SD and MacIntryre.

SJSU finished 4 votes behind Vandebilt at #21... they should have cracked the top 20.

Also, we could have finished perhaps at #34 ahead of Rutgers and Kent State.

A douche because he didn't vote in a postseason poll? Really?

Yes particularly for MacIntyre. It shows disrespect for his former players and the program he just left in their deserving a Top 20 ranking.

Too busy with their new programs to glance in the rear view mirror to take 15 minutes to help the legacy he helped create?

SID's or assistants typically handle this chore. Not sure Dykes or MacIntyre would have taken time to vote, but I wonder if the SID at their former school bothered to contact them and ask them to sign off on poll selections.

Bingo, those coaches never got the email.

Exactly. Apparently, Mr. Walsh was sleeping on the job.

My point is Pwalsh's cell# and email have not changed. If USAToday wanted him to get involved, I'm sure he would've have. If he couldn't reach Sonny D to hold his hand through the process then it's on Sonny D.

Unless you know something I don't, PWalsh doesn't work for Sonny Dykes.

What's your angle?

Okay. I've been given the skinny. Here's your answer Dell and Maddawg:

"USAToday reached out to me to make sure Skip voted. They also reached out to the Cal SID to get Sonny's ballot." PWalsh added he got the email about Skip's ballot the day after he was hired."

So . . . whose SID was not doing their job? Find something else to fiddle fart about.

Any coach on the panel that fails to vote in the final poll should at a minimum be excluded from the voting panel for at least two years.
