Okay, you knew I had to comment on the new fashion in College Football. The "Coach in Waiting." I have only one comment. And it is this: Please! Look at it this way. Let's says next year, or over the next two years, the Texas defense gives up big points. And let's says they continue to lose to Oklahoma, and the Sooner score BIG each and every Red River Shootout. Do you think that old former UGA walk-on Will Muschamp will still be the coach in waiting? The answer is no. College football may think they're fooling someone, but it ain't me. Texas AD James Vilade will morph into Dave Housel and Muschamp will be out of Austin as fast as you can say Bobby Petrino.

And while we're at it, what in the world has Joker Phillips done to earn "coach in waiting" status at Kentucky.

All this bunk was brought to the limelight by that living monument to great football owners everywhere: Jerry Jones. Jason Garrett is the Dallas Cowboys coach in waiting. And after Wade Phillips is fired at the end of this season, Garrett will take his place and the King Almighty of Coaches In Waiting. Good luck, there, Jason. If you're lucky, Jones will bring in Odell Thurman and then DeAngelo Hall to go with the likes of Pacman and T.O. Great bunch of guys.

So during all this talk of Joker this and Jimbo that and now Muschamp this AND that, a though has occured to me. We ALL are coaches in waiting. The only difference between us and the current crop is a vast lack of experience and the fact that we have not been lied to by overzealous AD's. Oh, and also the fact that when Texas defense crumbles and Kentucky can no longer score points, that our record will still be unblemised.
