ESPN Insider Mel Kiper has published his latest Big Board, and Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly is now regarded as the nation's top interior linebacker.
More Head Coaching Ideas (Around The Res)
Next I have a question about one of the candidates Mike discussed in his second installment of the New Head Coach Power Rankings. Number 7 on the list was Navy Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo. My question is how does the triple option offense Niumatalolo runs affect his chances at getting hired as the next BC Head Coach? Would Gene and the other decision makers be willing to bring in a guy who runs the option?
BC football not as bad as it looks (The Boston Globe)
"We’ve certainly got a long way to go to close that gap to get some W’s, but we’re making improvement. We’re getting better, and if we can get ourselves healthy and get the same guys out there practicing every week, they will get better that way, and once again, it’s not an excuse, it’s just that’s the fundamentals of football.’’
Big plays killing Eagles defense (BostonHerald.com)
"When it’s third-and-8-plus, that’s something we as a defense must take advantage of," said middle linebacker Luke Kuechly. "That’s tough yards to get and it’s primarily a pass, so you have that to your advantage. Anytime you have an advantage like that and you have an idea what they are going to do offensively, you should be able to capitalize on that a large percentage of the time."
Friday Four-cast: Back for Seconds (Inside College Hockey)
Denver at Boston College (Friday), at Boston University (Saturday): Rare are the seasons in which Denver eases into its schedule, and this year is no exception. The Pioneers travel three quarters of the way across the country to face two teams fresh off great opening weekends. The Eagles won the Ice Breaker Tournament in impressive fashion, downing Michigan State and host North Dakota, while the Terriers blanked New Hampshire at Agganis Arena Saturday. DU fans will focus on goalie Adam Murray; the inconsistent junior is the Pios’ go-to guy between the pipes with Sam Brittain expected to miss most (if not all) of the season with a serious knee injury.
Doyle: 'I feel I can be a Division 1 quarterback' (ESPN Boston High School Blog)
Two quarterbacks from the Class of 2012 have committed to Western Michigan, but Doyle said he kept in touch with UMass even after he committed to N.C. State. He said Boston College, Connecticut, Harvard and Penn State are among the schools that may have interest in him as a quarterback.

so strange
The irony of Skinner with BABC is that BABC never sends any players to BC. Maybe Jermaine Watson played for them, but otherwise all the players skipped BC during Skinner’s era and went elsewhere. I assumed he had a bad relationship with them.
Eastern Clothing of Watertown must be ecstatic.

Kuechly in NFL?
Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly is now regarded as the nation’s top interior linebacker.
I was listiening to WEEI this am and they had on an NFL guy on. The NFL guy said that LBs were no longer as desirable as first round picks — CB, S and DT were more desirable. They were talking about how Curry was a bust as an NFL LB..
I am wondering about Keuchly. Is he really NFL 1st round material? He is without a doubt awesome against the run. But what about pass coverage? He is not a star in that department. What about blitzing? Not really. an NFL Lb must frequnetly drop back ionto coverage. Can you see Kuechly covering a top NFL TE in the middle of the field?
I am thinking, Mel Kipper aside, Keuchly is really not first round material. (and, that he stays another year at BC!) maybe a second rounder.
Just one coach....
One coach doesn’t make a trend, but Belichick hates wasting early round picks on LBs because they usually take years to learn the system and be ready to be starters. It can be addressed through free agency just as easily. There are some exceptions of course.
Rumblings
That Big Al might be interested in heading west to Amherst if Derek Kellogg doesn’t improve this year. Could be a good retirement gig for him and most UMass fans would be happy with NCAA appearances every few years.

It’s your blog and you can write what you like but you’ll notice I think its lowbrow to denigrate my school with no provocation. Notice I didn’t lead off with Chestnut College references.
And for the record, I don’t believe I’ve ever denigrated your school in a post.

maybe a generational shift
Current students may like it but alumni despise it. No hard feelings then if you didn’t know. Your blog is solid.
