No, no, no, nooooooooooo. If you haven't read into the absolute vile he involved himself in at Ole Miss, look into it. I would like to say I am surprised by him getting even interviews, but nothing about ethics or lack thereof in college football surprises me. It's good old boys club at the highest level of the slang definition. It's disgusting, to be frank. These dudes can literally do WHATEVER they want, but if a program thinks they can either help them win or recruit, someone will find a place for them. And it's wrong. Dead wrong. But dumbass fans (looking at you P5, specifically blue blood fans) do not give one shit about any of it. Win. At any and all cost. They want to eat the sausage like fat overpaying pigs, and do not give one iota of a shit how it's made.

That has been decided, or at least I am told, that he is not getting that job.

I don't like watching the MAC either, but only because I almost always catch their mid-week games and atmosphere on TV, as dumb as it may sound, matters at least a little to me. I can't get my football juices flowing when I see 47 people in the stands.

lol...no need of your brain to hurt. All of what you said is correct. Boise State is not P5 or is considered a P5 for scheduling purposes. They are without doubt the most respected G5 'program' far and away and that gives them leeway when dealing with the media and 'perception'.

I mean it's not even an argument though. The ACC wants all of their membership teams to play an additional P5 program each year outside of their normal conference slate and their conference office decided to allow BYU as one of the "P5" games as a OOC opponent.

We and the Belt are the worst. MAC, in terms of data, is a better conference as CUSA. And I as well want nothing to do with the MAC because it will probably be vs Buffalo and they would push our nose up into our brain. In terms of recognition, attention, support...It'd be more of the same as playing Troy last year. Like I said, I would prefer a BYU or Miami type team for obvious reasons in a regional bowl. As a far and low secondary option I'd take a good MWC team (preferably the loser of the MWC championship game) in New Mexico.

Technically, you are right...they are not. But again, they are have P5 talent and are considered by 30 or so P5 teams as a 'P5' opponent type team in terms of scheduling. They certainly have the name recognition, following, and money as many P5's. Either way, point is, I'd happily rather be matched up vs BYU/Miami than any FunBelt or MWC team.

BYU has P5 talent and I think they are one of the de facto "P5" teams that 2 or 3 P5 conferences consider a P5 team for scheduling purposes.

No to both. We have a team that can get hot quickly and meddling P5 teams uninspired to play can and have folded quickly in bowl games. I want to see a match up where we are without doubt underdogs...a la vs BYU or Miami.

Ruffin would be disastrous. It would be hard to hang in with that hire. I mean I would obviously, but I'd be grinding teeth. Ugh. I know you didn't suggest that JD, but just posting off of your reply to wagtag.

#itjustcostsmore should be their real slogan.

A coach staying would've already put these fires out in most if not all cases. A coach contemplating a departure will let the fire rage on.

Deep

His chin looks like plaster caked on for a character in a new role.

KState board is saying that Bill Snyder is set to announce his retirement today, "Supposedly."

Not to over analyze, but did our poor performance on the field coincide around the timing of fat Jimmy Sexton putting his hand up Littrell's skirt?

I don't think he gets on Twitter and folliows our top 3 offensive minds on a whim post from joeBlowPurpleCatPride2003.

Well...that's telling.

He kind of won. 7-5, 5-7, 8-5. He did what Texas Tech does, mediocre.

I think there will be a lot of people who would want this job. I think we could cherry pick a G5 coach from say, Troy? I think we could name our coordinator from any school in the country to come here and take over the program, outside of the Venables type coach (son in the program he's at and is a well known loyalist). Or maybe go after a struggling P5 HC that has let the rope slip where he is at and maybe looking for a fresh start, like a Gus Malzahn (It is being reported that his agent is telling him to accept any job that he is offered). That scenario is far fetched, but reports are reports. This is a good job to be had, and there would be candidates lining up at the door.

Maybe not, but our beat writer and their boars or beat writer are singing the same tune. That can't be orchestrated I would think. That would me lead me to think something must be going on.

Kind of agree. Smoke = fire.
