      Does he have a history of being a locker room issues?

            I'll have to go back and find a link, but I read an article a month or two back with an interview from his JC coach, who I believe was also his high school coach. He described the kid as brash, headstrong, and a risk taker. Basically, he has been successful when coaches get out of his way and let him do what he wants on the field (coach's words, not mine, and provided partly as an explanation for why he didn't succeed at Washington). As I read it, I couldn't help but think that he is everything that Kyle Whittingham doesn't like in a quarterback. It will be interesting to see how that gets resolved.

              • Williams has said he didn't get a fair shot from Washington head coach Chris Petersen after Steve Sarkisian — who offered him midgame when he was a sophomore at Narbonne High — left to become head coach at USC.

                Williams played in five games as a redshirt freshman and started just the one, when sophomore Cyler Miles sat out because of a concussion.

                Against the persistent blitzes of Arizona State and in the wind and rain at Husky Stadium, Williams didn't fare well. He threw for 139 yards and two interceptions, was sacked five times and lost a fumble. It would be his final appearance as a Husky.

                A handful of sources close to Williams felt Petersen and Williams were a poor match. Petersen was too controlling and conservative for Williams, they said, and Williams — such an "alpha dog" that even Kaub's assistants often deferred to him — was too outgoing for Petersen.

                Kaub, who reunited with Williams at Santa Monica after calling plays for him at Narbonne, said Petersen has "a distinct type of quarterback he likes."

                "He doesn't like the guys like Troy. Troy's personality, it's not abrasive, but it is aggressive."


                He sounds like a perfect fit for a Whittingham offense.

                      So, not much different from what Kyle's done as head coach.

                          That's easy. Whittingham's offensive philosophy: Don't screw up.

                          • Anyway-- looks like this 2 star WR from Alta, RM and former Hawaii commit is going to sign. Mack Richards? Maybe not too noteworthy, but since Kalani cut a bunch of schollies loose that were presumably OK players, he must have something going for himself...

                              Mack is in.

                                That particular recruit doesn't sound too exciting.

                                Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
