The following article is a pretty good preview of the 2007 Weber State Wildcats, written by Neil K. Warner of the Daily Herald. The news from this article is the insinuation that sophomore Alabama transfer Jimmy Barnes has won the starting QB job. This is a good read, and you Big Sky folk should check it out!

Don Bailey, former offensive coordinator for Montana State, is reported to be heading to Weber State to coach WRs.  Bailey was scrutinized in his time in Bozeman, for a vanilla playback and predictable calls.  But then again, that just described every fanbase’s opinion of their OC.  Bailey was highly thought of in regards to recruiting, however.

ISU has announced they have hired former linebackers coach and defensive coordinator Rob Christoff.  Christoff will coach linebackers for the Bengals.  He was promoted to DC last year when former DC Pete Kwiatkowsk left the team to accept a position at Boise State.  Many Cat fans were hoping Christoff would be retained, but that was not the case.

The Wildcats report that Jimmy Barnes is transferring to Weber State to play next fall. Barnes is a 6′5 240 pound sophomore quarterback, who was highly recruited out of high school. He only played once last year, in a clean-up roll. He was 6-11 for 45 yards and one score in a 38-3 rout of Florida International.
