ESPN rolled out its much-ballyhooed Blog Network last Fall, and we’re hearing that while “higher-ups” were pleased with what the NFL writers produced, other corner offices were less-than-thrilled with the production of the college football staff.

During bowl season, we don’t recall too much news (any?) being broken on their end (coaching hires, players leaving/staying), and a source tells us that there’s concern about whether or not some of the writers have the ability to crossover onto the TV side, which can be difficult.

The same source tells us that ESPN editors have thrown around the words “complete disaster” to describe how the first season of the college football blog network went. But of course that’s just one season, and taking accomplished newspaper writers and turning them into bloggers isn’t going to equate to internet gold in just a few months.

It’ll be interesting to see how productive they are in the offseason, which lasts from now until August, with a few blips for spring practice and recruiting.
