Maybe it shouldn't be surprising, but I would have thought he had a shot at a major program if he wanted it.

South Alabama to hire Arrow

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's Ronnie Arrow has reached an agreement to become South Alabama's next basketball coach, a source has told CBS SportsLine.com. A news conference to announce the development could come as early as Tuesday.

It's doubtful Arrow will need a tour of the campus considering he coached South Alabama from 1988-'95. He was 114-93 in seven seasons at USA before being fired early in the 1994-95 season.

Arrow spent the past seven years at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, where he compiled a 108-84 record that included a Southland Conference title and trip to the NCAA Tournament this past season. The Islanders finished 26-7 and nearly upset Wisconsin in the first round.

Arrow replaces John Pelphrey, who left last week to take over at Arkansas. The only other serious candidates were Sam Houston State's Bob Marlin, Alabama assistant Philip Pearson and Charlotte's Bobby Lutz.

Lutz rejected an offer over the weekend.

And someone said NT would have no chance at Arrow if we replaced JJ. He loved A&M CC and wouldn't think of leaving.

Guess they were wrong. USA is going to be really tough with him at the helm.

      Army is an incredibly classy program and playing them and having them in the conference is a powerful boost to the credibility of OUR program. I’ve been to 99% of the games at DATCU and that is the best that stadium has ever looked. It is also impressive how, after the game, Army comes to our side and stands at attention for the playing of our school song. That type of respect for others is missing in our society now. I wanted Army to lose against us, but I will be rooting for them the rest of the season.

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      Guy dropped passes and ran bad routes also. When they caught the ball they were thinking too much instead of going north and south. Not to mention Army got pressure with 3 man fronts. Collectively the offense chocked. Army didn't respect our offense and they were going to force us to score before going deeper into their offensive playbook taking risk. They were willing to give us death by a thousand cuts. EVERYTIME you get Army Offense 10 yards off schedule your defense should be able to force a FG attempt, Punt, or a 4th 6 yards plus they FAIL to convert.

      That and the defense caused 2 turnovers against a team that doesn’t turn the ball over. Our vaunted Top 5 offense scored 3 fn points! 3 red zone trips - turnover on downs with 1st and goal 6 inches from the goal line and two interceptions. An unimaginable disaster. Then factor in receivers dropping sure fire first downs, a beyond pedestrian run game we’re forcing with a 4th or 5th string running back and so on…the offense was a complete failure. In no reality is this specific game on the defense. Sorry.

      Ok, hear me out here…

      Ok, but why? Football teams have understood the simplest way to move one yard for over a hundred years now…and Morris got to see Army do it over and over yesterday…you get under center and run straight forward. Hell, it is now 100% legal to have another player push you forward for that one yard.

      A very long shot to even make a bowl game.
