A new installment. I'll post every week.
Three and out...
1... GHOST OF WILLIE TAGGART: At the back of the room during last week's Pac 12 Media Day I got a chance to talk with former Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti. Our discussion turned to the dynamic shift in the conference with five new head coaches, and how that all might play out this season.
Mario Cristobal (Oregon), Jonathan Smith (Oregon State), Chip Kelly (UCLA), Kevin Sumlin (Arizona) and Arizona State's Herm Edwards are all new.
Some of the coaches in the conference are known as great recruiters.
