Nothing makes me happier than when I see a guy we "maybe" wanted as an assistant coach is being considered as a candidate for head coach at nUTSAck. This is too much.

This! The reality is that UTSA is in our conference and therefore needs to be as competitive as possible. That makes for a better conference and a better rivalry.  Now, if someone can figure

UTSA should have never been added to CUSA. They have no facilities and no track record. CUSA bought into the "TV market" B.S. that is the current state of college athletics, and CUSA will pay for it

KFC is about THE worst fried chicken joint out there. Appropriate that they are so closely tied to Craphole.

And for all the Craphole fans that will enevitably show up in this thread, I told you this would be your fate when you were busy claiming to be the next S. Florida. 

Welcome to hell.

KFC has good mashed potatoes and gravy though.

On that we agree. The chicken is gawdawful grizzle-filled crap. I actually had one of their chicken pot pies, cause I like chicken pot pies. When they brought it out, I realized it was a knock off of the REALLY cheap Swanson pot pies that were around when I was a kid, and tasted just the same. 

Never been back.

Not difficult to recruit to Oklahoma State, Auburn, and TCU. nUTSAck not so much.

That can be said for any coach that comes from a P5 school. For example: not difficult to have an explosive offense with the athletes at UNC. UNT not so much.

There's only one name there that's even remotely worth looking at... and we were talking about him coming on board as a position coach or OC if we had gone with Meacham.

Y'all wouldn't have been able to afford him as an OC and definitely not as a positions coach so the fact that y'all wanted him for either position is irrelevant. He was making $400k at Auburn and probably making around the same at TCU.

Fact remains that nUTSAck has a list of coaching candidates that makes Dan McCarney look like Bear Bryant. The funny thing is that you'll hire Hal Mumme and get a few years of 4-8 football followed by probation. Enjoy your interviews with a stunning group of has beens and never was.

Oh hey, fancy that; we're paying our coordinators in that range. That's what you're talking about paying your next HC, no?

No, 800k

Then you are overpaying for the candidates mentioned. Luper wasn't making 400k at TCU. Hell Meacham wasn't making close to that. Luper had very close ties with Meacham and they probably would have came as a pair.

He made 400k because he is a coordinator and the 800k is HC $? It also seems that to go from a fbs playoff team to essentially a G5 startup would require per$uasion. Yes a gamble, but if he is the recruiting assets reported and utsa and tcu run same schemes (tcu poaches utsa recruites constantly) it would be a good investment. Lets say Luper and Littrell are the guys we hope they are- chances are they will be gone 4 years and the G5 carousel will turn again.

This is my point, as well. If either of these guys accomplish a big turnaround in the next 3 years, they are going to get hired away. If they don't, they each probably have no more than 4 years at their job and will get fired.

There are exceptions, of course, but G5s are usually training grounds for the P5s to buy them when they like what they see.

Why would Bailiff want to make this move?

From what I've seen, Bailiff is sort of like Rice's Johnny Jones. So job security would seem to be the only thing that makes sense.

53-60 at Rice is not too bad considering where they have been. He's gone backwards since 2013 though. Rice gave permission to interview so they must not think very highly of him. Most schools would tell other teams wanting to interview your head coach for a lateral(read downward) move to STFU and GTFO.

I heard they have been in contact with Chester's, golden chick, and Bush's for the small town pipeline.

What?!  No Chicken Express?

So does, almost any place out there.

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
