Three new coaches have entered into the ranks of the NCAA
Harry Potter, the new coach of the Utah State Aggies
Dre Pierce, the new coach of the Western Michigan Broncos and lastly
Dan Marino, the new coach of the Army Black Knights!

These three coaches actually were all on the same coaching staff for a Utah Highschool team. Potter was the Head Coach, he just simply had the most experience, Dan Marino ruled as the OC, he could not be stopped and Pierce rounded them all out nicely with some nice blitz's and defense. Now those three friends are all going to different teams and trying to get them to a BCS Conference in the new NCAA's Promotion/Relegation system!

I actually sat down and interviewed Dre Pierce and this is what I got from him
INTERVIEW W/ DRE PIERCE (WESTERN MICHIGAN COACH)
Q: Why did you choose to coach Western Michigan?
A: I chose Western Michigan because they were one of the only schools that believed in me when I was coming up, I�ve always liked their program and I really admire their running backs skills and I aim to improve them to a higher caliber.
Q: What do you think about the new BCS Conferences?
A: It makes things better for small schools that don�t always get the chance to go anywhere, bowl games, or BCS conferences. Promotion/Relegation is a good system and I think it�ll throw us all a curveball!!
Q: What do you think of the 2 new coaches, Harry Potter for Aggies and one for Army
A: The guy from the Aggies has been a long time close friend of mine, actually they both have. We shared a lot of memories over the years and being in the same conference is going to only bolster our competetiveness
Q: Playing the Aggies in the first game do you feel nervous or are you feeling it�ll be a breeze
A: I am nervous! The Aggies have a good organization, especially under coach Potter. I�m nervous for every game though, because winning doesn�t have to do with how �good� your team is. Because teams that look good on paper, don�t always produce.
Q: How long do you think it�ll take for you to move up to a BCS Conference or get a better job somewhere else?
A: It�s gonna take awhile, you can�t just pop up on the scene and be like �Yeah winnings what I do.� You have to be good, but also consistent.
Q: What kind of recruits are you looking for this year?
A: I would like to get another RB to back up and take the load off for our current starter, we are also looking for a SCRAMBLING Quarterback. I want them to be like me, confident, ready to play, never give up.

He seems like a confident man, ready to win, but only time will tell.

Potter has actually already updated his depth chart to show who is starting this year and it is as follows

Potter has said he chose to go with Freshman Alex Hart based on his talents from High School and is hoping that it will excel the team into a different breed. He wants to make the BCS Conference his second year, which is quite a feat considering Boise State most likely will go this year.

Potter's first game is actually versus his long time friend and rival, Dre Pierce.
