In case anyone is interested in UAB's situation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not only was Jimbo nixed by the BOT, but they are forcing Neil Callaway on us tomorrow.

Neil Callaway is the relative of a very rich exBOT member that has pull with Paul Bryant Junior, who practically single handily controls the BOT

He got a DUI in 2003 in Georgia and supposedly 2 other DUI's in 2 other states

He was on Auburn's staff when they got cought cheating under Pat Dye

He was on Alabama's staff when they got caught cheating under Mike Dubose

Not a single UAB fan is for this hire.

Insiders say not a single UAB administrator is for this hire.

I envy you guys.

Could be worse.

Alabama is having problems getting a coach...and Alabama is (supposed to be) a really good job.

Alabama's problem is that they are still living in the past and the Booster's / Alumni still feel that anything less than a National Championship is a failure. It's a No win situation for their new coach , even though Im sure whoever it is will get plenty of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If bama would just go out and pay Houston Nutt what Arkansas is paying him, they could have a new coach, and those of us Hog fans would have a very merry Christmas.

Sometimes I think I dream too much about Nutt being gone, but I dream just as much as I did about DD and he is gone, so....

So Much for NUTT leaving Arkansas I see he just got an extension. Maybe they read the board and got scared of losing him to Bama. :lol:

They'll figure it out sooner or later. It didn't take Nebraska fans very long to.

      bad night. ECU loses bad...at home. RJ Felton goes 1-12 with 5 turnovers. could read that as a fluke, or maybe that ECU is pretty spare. High Point loses to UNC-Greensboro...who again, don't look awful...but a W would've helped our resume UTSA, down 14 at the half storms back to force OT against an infinitely better program. I'm gonna assume St. Mary just started coasting and let their guard down USF barely beats 1-7 Stetson Evanston lost. McNeese lost. AAC looking like a 1 bid league again.

      UTSA (3-3) in OT vs St Mary's (7-1)

      Even forcing overtime is something of a miracle.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I hear you, and I appreciate that you're reading deeper than surface-level statistics. You raise good points and have valid concerns. To further add to the context of all this, I think it's worth noting that UCF was Sam Houston's second game of the year, which means it was the second game of Cassity implementing his system. Similarly, Texas State was Sam Houston's fifth game of the year, so both UCF and TxSt were within the first half of the season. While we all wish and hope for instant change, it's impossible to have a unit firing on all cylinders with a new scheme in the first half of a new coordinator's first year. When you take that into consideration, I think the important thing to look for is growth/progress/improvement throughout the season. After holding Texas State to 39, they held Western Kentucky to 31, Jacksonville State to 21, and Liberty to 18 as the season went on. WKU and Jax State are #1 and #2 in CUSA playing in the championship game, and Liberty finished the season 8-4 with a win over East Carolina (a team we lost to with an interim coach). Further, Texas State put up 28 on now 10-2 Arizona State (who's likely headed to the CFP) the week before they put up 39 on Sam Houston. An 11-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston isn't terrible in game 5 of a new coordinator. If you wipe out TxSt's defensive touchdown and consider it 32 points given up by Sam Houston's defense, that's only a 4-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston's defense. I know this isn't all an apples-to-apples comparison, and I agree that his decline from year 1 to year 2 at ACU is concerning. However, I think there are some arguments to suggest Cassity's defensive unit did pretty well in year one of implementation and showed respectable growth over the course of the season, which makes me skeptically optimistic.
