A few months ago we started The Winning Point, a newsletter created to provide our readers with even more in-depth information about the game, the sport and the business of football.

I thought rather than tell you about the newsletter, I'd give you a sample of what is found in each issue. The March edition included The Terranova 5 - a summary of who's hot and who's not in the world of college coaching.

Here is a taste:

The 5 Best Hires Following the '99 Season

Mike Leach - Texas Tech: One short year after stepping out from the shadow of long-time mentor Hal Mumme, Leach proved at Oklahoma that he is a teacher with a system that can and does produce results. OU was one of the nation's most prolific offenses, and Leach had to get it done without the benefit of having a single assistant who had any familiarity with his system. He now gets the chance to run his own show, with assistants who know his agenda.

Mick Dennehy - Utah State: The Aggies' new coach is bringing a high-flying offense from Montana to the moribund Utah State program. Dennehy experienced outstanding success at Montana, and given the time and administrative support needed, he will no doubt get it done in a conference where he can win. He may be the next John L. Smith because he can flat out coach.

Joe Glenn - Montana: Given his run of success at Division II Northern Colorado (national championships in 1996-97), it was somewhat surprising that Glenn did not move before this job at Montana. But then again, Glenn did have perhaps the best D-II job in the nation, given UNC's great support and its second-to-none facilities.

Chris Hatcher - Valdosta State: This was an interesting choice by the VSU administration. Hatcher is only 27 years old and has just two years of full-time college experience under his belt. But he was the most decorated player in Valdosta State history (1994 Harlon Hill Award winner) and is a product of the Hal Mumme system. Three years post-Mumme, VSU Blazer fans want a return to glory, and who better to lead them than a favorite son?

Bobby Williams - Michigan State: In one of the post-season's most surprising moves, Williams was elevated after Nick Saban took the LSU cash. The fact that Williams has not been a coordinator raised more than a few eyebrows, but he was able to keep almost the entire MSU staff in place (word is they could have gone to LSU but chose to stay), beat Florida in the Citrus Bowl, and put together a great recruiting class, which bodes well for the future of Spartan football.
