Change a Part of the Off-Season

We had another amazing season of NCAA Football. And now is the time to reflect, and the time for change.

The teams we watched last year will never be the same again. And for just about everyone except the Florida Gators, that’s a good thing.

Last year is over, and each team starts fresh. Unfortunately we say goodbye to some great players and coaches.

LSU’s JaMarcus Russell is taking the cannon on his shoulder to the next level going to “whoever picks first and whoever pays the most.”

Hey, makes sense to me.

USC’s Dwayne Jarrett is also exiting stage left. Jarrett was emotional at his press conference and visually confirmed head coach Pete Carroll’s insistence that “he knows he has to leave but he doesn’t want to leave.”

Carroll apparently doesn’t either. After being wooed by the Miami Dolphins, Carroll says he’s staying put at the college level, which is good. There are some coaches who just fit the mold of a college coach, and Pete Carroll is the mold in today’s NCAA Football.

Another coach that fits the mold of a college coach, and one of my favorites this year, is Bobby Petrino. But he’s decided to try and solve the Atlanta Falcons mystery which opened the door for Tulsa’s Steve Kragthorpe.

Kragthorpe is tabbed as an up-and-coming coach in the NCAA, time will tell but the folks at Papa John’s stadium certainly have gotten used to a lot of points, and wins.

With every death there come’s rebirth. It’s the circle of life.

Ok, NCAA Football is not that serious, but the off-season ‘tis the season for change. I’m sure it will be interesting, fans will get upset, other fans will be happy. And by the time August rolls around, all we’ll be focused on is that opening weekend of NCAA Football.

And I can’t wait.
