Woah wut? So CP going away from the option?? This is a strange move.

Hiring Beau Baldwin is a strange move? Huh.

[clenz]

Maybe Beau found out offense was harder when you aren't facing big sky defenses.....xwhistlexxwhistlexxwhistlexxreadxxrea dxxreadx

Upset that you guys still have Bubba instead of Beau?

[Professor Chaos]

Was he on thin ice at Cal or something? This seems like an odd U-turn for him.

[Schism55]

Something fishy going on here...this makes no sense for his career trajectory xeyebrowx

[F'N Hawks]

Take it to the gutter, like usual.

Which FCS defenses shut him down consistently?

He didn't face any single defense outside of the Big Sky consistently.

inconsistently, which defenses did well vs. EWU?

[dbackjon]

Good hire for Cal-Poly.


Maybe Beau really wanted to be a HC

[clenz]

Set your parameters for well

[cpalum]

I'm hopeful but suffice to say Cal Poly does not have a roster that will mesh well with his talents.....If this is true I'm guessing we will see some transfers and heavy recruiting on the O-Line.

[wapiti]

Will CP stay with the Triple Option?
If so, does Beau know how to coach the triple O?

If CP change's the offense then I expect CP to be down for at least another 2 years.

[Silenoz]

Can't imagine they'll stick with the TO

They'll suck for a couple years, but if he could build up a program in Cheney, Washington, I can't imagine he can't create something in Southern Cal.

Do admission standards at Cal Poly start to play into it though?

Isn't that place tough as hell to get into? Isn't it like only 27% of people that apply get in?

Tend to see schools that can't recruit the same broad type of athletes due to admission issues stick with the triple option for that reason.

That isn't intended as a shot at anyone institutions or athletes academics, rather as an extreme compliment to Poly's standards

[BisonFan02]

Take it to the gutter, like usual.

Tell me that a good chunk of your fanbase isnt thinking that exact thing right now..... xlolx

Well he sucked at Cal so what else is left?

[slostang]

If true it is a home run hire by Cal Poly.

[Grizzlies82]

If true it is a home run hire by Cal Poly.

Agreed!

Press conference tomorrow at 5:00 pm.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Not the coach I expected CP to go after but maybe he can produce there. I doubt the option stays.

The Triple Option is gone with this hire ....I think that's just fine.

But then where are the other Big Sky teams going to get game reps prior to playoffs against the TO teams like Furman, Wofford and KSU??? Playing CP earlier this year directly led to BBQ narrowly beating the Hooters!

Big fluffy will be ****ed against the likes of Wofford, Furman, Kennesaw etc

[kalm]

He didn't face any single defense outside of the Big Sky consistently.

His offensive numbers against the Valley CAA, and P12 weren’t too shabby.

[cats2506]

It will be really interesting to see the staff he puts together.

[slostang]

Cal Poly football is definitely headed up under Baldwin’s leadership. Watch out Big Sky, watch out FCS. Here comes Cal Poly!!!

[Bison56]

Nice hire, I know I am excited to see how well he can do at Cal Poly.

[100%GRIZ]

The Big Sky Conference just got better!

[Professor Chaos]

Well, the entire FCS will be ****ed when going up against the likes of Kennesaw... at least so I've heard.

[Chalupa Batman]

Baldwin's 2nd game as head coach will have him back in Berkley on Sept. 12.

You heard right. Hooty Hoot should go ahead and buy a condo in Frisco, Texas. Kennesaw will be a permanent contender now.

You are getting a great one. Good recruiter who knows the state and an outstanding developer of talent.

I heard their triple option is like no other.

[slostang]

It will be really interesting to see the staff he puts together.

So far:

OC/WR: Nick Edwards
OL: Paul Wulff
QB: Erik Meyer (2005 Payton winner)
TE/ST: Casey Petree
RB: Aristotle Thompson (retained)

LB/ST: JC Sherritt (2010 Buchanan winner)
Defensive Assistant: Josh Letuligasenoa (retained)

Three more defensive coach yet to be named.

[Professor]

Seems like an interesting coaching staff. I wonder what impact will they have
