The best aspect of Carroll's coaching...

is his ability to take "reloading" to a literal meaning.

Sure, he still hasn't put together a "best team of the millennium" since his last "best team of the millennium," but quite a few programs over time (even ND) have been said to be able to "just reload" and not really do it with the efficiency of SoCal in the 85-man limit era. All because he seeks to make practice harder than most of the games the team will play. Makes it so their red-shirt sophs are like tested juniors.

(Of course, he's still dealing with that "lose one you shouldn't" problem. Not that I wouldn't mind that single problem these days.)

I fully agree with the "it's time" motto for 2009. But it's time for a few reasons beyond what's on paper. In particular, it's time because Weis sort of dug himself a hole the last 2 years and needs to make good on some debt now.
