As for the Tebow discussion - you know I like the guy and the Gators in general...but seriously last night was nauseating. He's such a leader, nobody tries harder, he cures cancer, he feeds the poor, etc...ridiculous. Look, I get he's a helluva guy and a great person, but seriously stop with the mentions of it every 2 minutes. I bet he'll come back and we'll get Tebow love fest from day 1 next year, but I kind of hope he leaves...even though his NFL future appears to be bleak at best. As far as being Top 5-10 all-time...tough call. 2 Nat'l Titles, potentially 2 Heisman's and maybe an extra Nat'l Title...that would be tough to top. These FLA teams are incredible, loaded at every position, so it's hard to put all the success on Tebow. But he does everything for this team to push it to victory, yes it's overplayed and quite cliche', but he's their unquestionaed leader. I think it's tough to not like a guy like that, I just wish the media would lay off a bit. Right now he's fringe Top 5 for me, but surely Top 10 in my lifetime. If nothing else, just for his pure accomplishments and dominance...especially if he comes back and we're sitting in the same place again next year - then he could actually be Top 3 if not #1 all-time on this list. Scary to think, but w/3 NC's and 2 Heisman's, it would be impossible for anyone to match that.

On to our favorite club...we have a DC. Cosgrove will be announced today as the new DC. Some on the Gopher boards are calling this the final nail in the coffin of Brew and starting to speculate who we'll hire in 2011 when he's fired. Call me crazy, but I think they might be overreacting a bit. Yes, the guy has had a spotty track record at best in his last couple of stops...but he's also had some nice success. I like going to co-DC route with an internal promotion of Ronnie Lee as well. Hopefully, this will keep Cosgrove in check a little bit and become more of a dual effort vs. the stories of his drill-sergeant ways in NEB/WIS. He's Brew's friend, his son is on the staff, and he has WIS ties (which is always the kicker for Maturi), so it was an obvious choice. While I'm definitely skeptical, I will give the guy a chance. Our talent should be okay on that side of the ball with more depth next year than we had this year. But if things so South in a hurry, I'd be very scared to be Timmy Brew or Maturi at this point.

Sounds like word on the OC will be coming sometime soon. Rumor is that he had ties into the game last night - thinking Heupel (OK QB Coach) or the OK WR Coach/Asst OC Jay Norvell. He's been around, and is supposedly a big-time candidate...so we'll see. I like the quick hires, let's hope it works out.

Later.
