Pac-12 Networks is creating a series “The 12 Greatest,” trying to determine the 12 leading football players from every conference school. It asked me to submit my vote. Here’s what I sent: 1, Ricky Hunley; 2, Chuck Cecil; 3, Tedy Bruschi; 4, Art Luppino; 5, Chris McAlister; 6, Byron Evans; 7, Darryll Lewis; 8, Max Zendejas; 9, Rob Waldrop; 10, Mark Arneson; 11, Ka’Deem Carey; 12, Mike Dawson. The league also asked to vote for the UA’s top coach. I couldn’t decide. From 1980-86, inheriting an NCAA punishment and total chaos, Larry Smith was superb. But from 1992-98, Dick Tomey was the Pac-10s premier football coach.
