FOOTBALL FEVER ANYONE??

Well after a hiatus for a few weeks, The ArmChair Coach is back and he has a very bad fever to deal with. The doctor has diagnosed me with a severe case of FOOTBALL FEVER! Does anyone else have FOOTBALL FEVER? For those of us who are suffering from it I would like to look at some of the interesting story lines that I am looking forward to seeing how they will play out as the season gets underway in a few weeks.

(1) Will he or won't he? I am talking about Brett Favre and his status of retiring from the NFL or playing for the Minnesota Vikings for a second season. The ArmChair Coach feels like that he will play if his injured ankle heels enough to allow him to suit up in the Vikings purple again. It will be very interesting.

(2) How will the Clemson Tigers do without star C.J. Spiller? Being a big Clemson fan The ArmChair Coach is really interested in how this story plays out. I feel like that Andre Ellington and Jaime Harper are very good backs and will do a good job. The Tigers will probably have more of a power running game and ball control offense. Stay tuned.

(3) Will Interim Head Coach Dan Jones get the permanent job with the Gaffney Indians? I am a huge Gaffney Indians fan and I was very upset when Phil Strickland left back in the spring. I feel very strong that the Cherokee County School District did the right thing keeping Dan Jones as the Interim Head Coach for the 2010 season. Dan Jones has been a very successful Defensive Coordinator for the past seven years and he knows what it takes to win State Championships. The ArmChair Coach says The Pride and Tradition Continues. Stay plugged in.

(4) Will Carolina Panthers Head Coach John Fox keep his job past this season? With no Jake Delhomme on the team this season, the Panthers have to find a new QB. Matt Moore played well at the end of last season and goes into the season as the starting QB. Will he be pushed by second round draft pick Jimmy Clausen for the starting job at some point during the season? The play of the QB's could be a major factor to John Fox keeping his job or not. Do I see Bill Cowher roaming the Panther's sideline next season? Maybe.

(5) Will the SEC win another National Title this season? With LSU, Florida and Alabama winning titles the last three years, who wins this year? I see the SEC being a little down this season. Could Arkansas or South Carolina sneak into the title picture this season? Probably not. Could we be crowning Boise State National Champs this year? With the SEC's big three down a little this year you never know. It will be a very interesting season. Stay tuned.

These are some of the many intriguing stories we will get to see unfold as the 2010 football seasons begin soon.

Until Next Time.
