JSU takes the prize in college football this season for unexpected twists, unlikely upgrades and questionable decisions after the school announced it was joining Conference USA (and moving from the FCS to FBS) on a news-dump Friday, and then, A DAY LATER, announced that it was firing coach John Grass.

This is the same team that started the season being shut out by UAB 31-0, BUT THEN went on the road the next week and upset Florida State 20-17 with a walk-off touchdown.

Jacksonville State, we love you, and so we’re worried.

And also really excited.

But also definitely confused.

Jacksonville State was already leaving the OVC for the ASUN but was going to compete in the WAC in football until, well … somebody please help this make sense. I feel like I’m at a Jacksonville State frat party and someone just walked in the front door with a chainsaw, handle of rum and a pet goat named Randy Owen Rides Again.

The desperation of Judy and CUSA on full display. Sam Houston State isn’t going to upgrade anything anytime soon and neither is Jacksonville State. Horrible decision. She has presided over the complete collapse of a once prestigious conference. This is an FCS conference now in everything but name.

my question is, what is SFA, ACU, and Lamar going to do now.  WAC is essentially out of football w/ NMSU leaving.

Maybe they could merge with the Southland for Football only?

They just said goodbye to the Southland, so it will be interesting to see if they let hurt feelings go and do what's right.

Business decisions should prevail over hurt feelings except in the state of Louisiana. ULM should be in Southland, La, Tech in Sun Belt, but not going to happen. Best thing for CUSA is if MTSU stays put holding W.Ky. back with them.

CUSA should have been left to die. FBS needed less teams, not more. Now Judy is just perpetuating the issue of segregating the G5 from the P5(or 6, now that we totally 100% embrace the moniker, right?) with weaker teams.

I can't believe the NCAAF actually allowed this to happen... But maybe I can if they intend to see a new CFB league appear from the P5 (or 6, cause HELL YEAH). All signs are pointing to Tier 1 CFB, Tier 2 CFB, and FCS

I have always thought that college football divisions should similar to high school except separation based upon Athletic Budget instead of enrollment.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
