I’d totally take Koetter to the hole, especially in his own back yard.

Former ASU head coach Dirk Koetter has his former home listed on the market at a whopping $1.595 mil. I’ll not get into how Valley real estate has swollen to retarded levels, but this McMansion with small-fry back yard depicts exactly what has been wrong with ASU football. Over-priced, too small, drab, uninspiring, and a severe lack of swank. Today’s recruits need greased-up stripper poles, fully stocked wet bars, and a pool/hot tub- NAY! pool and hot tub, each in the shape of Courtney Simpson. JoePa is still getting the PA catholic kids to sign using the ping pong table in the garage, but this is Sun Devil country. This is how we roll. The Erickson era has begun, and it’s time for the next level. Coach E’s wine cellar (and you know he has one) is twice the size of this dump. Somewhere, Pete Carroll is laughing.

Pete Carroll could not be reached at his Malibu home (pictured above) for comment. We couldn’t find him, even if we could get past the guards.

The great architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham once wrote:

“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably
themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work,
remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long
after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing
insistence.”

He’s talking about his famed White City and other monstrous designs like Washington DC’s Union Station, but can’t we apply this to a football program, specifically the one at ASU? Go after the big name recruits. Schedule and upset power programs. Win a game in California for a change. Win a conference championship. Win a national championship. Doing these things will stir the blood of the fans and will not be forgotten anytime soon, but you have to be able to dream them first. Watch and learn, Dirk.
