I was wrong with the PAC new coaches predictions

I thought that in 5 years the only coach from this new batch of coaches in the PAC that would still be with their respected teams was Mike Leach.

I think I might be very wrong here.

Leach has struggled greatly his first two games.

Graham, Mora and believe it or not, even Rich Rod have been looking good.

UCLA, Arizona and ASU all have looked good so far.

Could this be the "changing of the PAC guard"?

Not likely. It will be more competitive though. "we just beat each other up"

I was reading about Jim Mora and the system he was putting in place during the offseason and was impressed. Washed up NFL coaches sometimes make excellent NCAA coaches (see Pete Carroll). However, they can also be total failures too, Bill Callahan anyone?

By "changing of the guard" I assume the question was directed for the PAC 12 South. That's why I say not likely. USC has inherent recruiting advantages that aren't going away. Their facilities just went through the roof. They will be the team to beat in the PAC especially when they get back to full strength.

more than not NFL coaches do no translate well in the NCAA and NCAA coaches don't translate well in the NFL.

Mora looking good in his first two games. But we will see how they finish. Their schedule sets up for them to be unbeaten going into the final two weeks of the season vs USC. Insane, but it could happen and if they keep playing like this there will be no doubt they get there unbeaten.
