After Notre Dame got Donkey Stomped in the NC game, I can't believe the coaches voted the Irish #3. WTF? How badly does Notre Dame have to lose to drop in the polls? You would think that a 4 TD ass whipping would have dropped them a few more spots.
With Notre Dame's history in polls they could lose 6 games and still be in the top 25
My point was not to blame P.W., but to point out that Sonny Dykes didn't just stop caring about this poll after he changed jobs. He didn't care about this poll while he was at Tech because it was a delegated chore.
I've been upset about the way the coaches poll is run for years. Many coaches have stated that they don't look at it (translates to they don't care). There's not much we can do about that, but as RC said, if they don't vote, they should have their privileges revoked.
Dooley's take on Coaches Poll. Interesting.....

having watched Coach D for 3 years I am offended by your post You have no idea the genuine support he gave the team during loss of Duplessis and hard work he put in for Tech. He also kept his coaches for 3 yrs -- no one hangs around with a douche for long. Only a handfull of over avid give a crap about final season polls--they are just as worthless as preseason polls and refular season polls. Kansas state and ND could have played for national championship if polls had their way. Both coaches taking over new programs, meeting players and handicapping prospects and needs. Worthless polls last on thier list. Most of us who met Sonny -really liked his as a coach and person. Now Tubby at TT--thats a differrent story--sure he voted
