Admins please post this in the football board as well.
My dream scenario is the following:
Our football team shows up this weekend, like they have every week under Canales, and beats ULM.
We are competitive against KSU.
If we beat ULM, there is no way that you dont hire Canales. I dont care about a name, or hype. This guy has proven he knows how to win. Sh-t, he would have won half as many games as Dodge in onloy 4 games, and with the same injured team. What else does the guy have to do to impress some of you. he's motivated a team that pretty much knew they had no chance at a bowl. I'm not saying sign him long term, but the guy at least earns one more year.(I know that doesnt happen)
ok, enough rant,
If this happens, we will probably be able to get him cheaper than all of the "name" coaches that have been discussed, The reason this is big............ We can take the money that we save, and put it towards JJ. I know that there are only a few programs that pay BB coaches more than FB coaches, but JJ has more than earned it. We really have to figure out a way to come up with enough money to keep him. Outside of LSU, I really dont think he wants to go anywhere. Maybe not even LSU if we can put together a competitive package. He is so close to breaking us out, and if we can figure out how to keep him, we will be the next Gonzaga, Butler, St. Marys. Kids love this guy, and we are 2-3 more recruiting classes like the current away from being a top 25.
