...any chance Canales or Bowen get snapped up? Both have long resumes. I think both could be head coaches in the future. Could they be tapped as OC or DC this go round? We haven't lit it up, but we have improved somewhat. Does our losing record save us from coaching changes for a season?

For whatever reason, I've always believed that Mike Leach would end up in the Pac-12. And, I've always believed it would be at UCLA. Surely, his phone is ringing.

What is Mac's buyout? The Illinois job is open.

Not sure if he'll get serious offers this offseason but I think in years 2 and 3 there is improvement and in dramatic fashion there is no doubt that he'll be looked at by AQ schools and going to the Big Ten would certainly be intriguing with his extensive background in the state of Iowa. Plus who knows if Tubby stays another year at Tech and Coach Mac wins 7-8 games next year I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see them giving a look at Mac.

Tech was not happy the last time they hired a head coach away from us.

Oddly enough, we weren't too upset about it till we found out Bob Tyler was going to be the replacement. Those of you who think Dodge was our worst coach never experienced Bob Tyler!

He was way before my time so I can't comment anything other than according to his Wikipedia page he coached just one season and went 2-9. Obviously that's not good but I have a hard time believing it's worse than what Dodge did here.

Imagine offending fans, faculty, other athletic staff and violating NCAA rule by giving extra benefits to football players. All that PLUS a 2-9 record. Things were a little vague at the time, but I believe firing him stopped the NCAA for doing anything to us. A number of the players loved him, though.

If he's going to give extra benefits to players and yet still produce a 2-9 record that certainly isn't the goal.

Going from a CUSA or Big East to an SEC gig, is going to be a big jump. I don't see this ending well.

As for Hill at Fresno State, maybe this IS his retirement.

This worked really bad for Auburn, Gene Chizik who was the HC of Iowa State and went 5-19 in two years before getting hired on at Auburn..Compared to Kevin Sumlin who went 35-17 at Houston.

If you can coach, you can coach at any school from the sec to the belt.. Its all about bringing on the right coordinators and assistants.

Or in Chizik's case , bringing in the best players $$$ can buy..

I am not a fan of the Sumlin hiring but one thing he has going for him is he knows and understands the Aggie culture. I love the Aggies too (Sis a grad), but I hope this doesn't blow up in their face. I want them to be successful in the SEC. Next year the visitors to Aggieland include the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers. They play at Ole Miss and I believe Auburn.

June Jones should go back to Hawaii. They would welcome him with open arms and then he could avoid the awkward 2012 ahead.

      PAC is back

      It's currently the PAC2, right? What would have to play out for American to pass the PAC2 in terms of performance, media rights, and perception? I have this wild idea that we all hold firm on where we are at, together, and make a concerted effort to figure out how to make this happen. Not that we become P4, just simply pass the PAC2 which seems pretty much dead as it stands.

      Ugh, hate that it’s even arguable we have another game as bad as Cal on our resume this season. Surely nothing more like that, right?

      UTSA and Traylor likely heading to Pac12

      You're not seeing the big picture. Whether we move or not, things will change. A lot of AAC schools close by? If UTSA, Tulane, and Memphis leave, who's left? Tulsa and Rice. Now how many AAC schools are close by? That's it. Two schools. So what are the options: join 3 of the close AAC schools in the PAC or stay with 2 of the close AAC schools in the AAC. My choice is easy. Seems we'll be left in the wind though. More visibility? I guess. Nobody is watching us as is. More money will allow us to keep developing the football program or maybe even start the baseball program to join an Oregon State baseball program who's made all but 3 NCAA tournaments since 2005.

      Wyoming Game Critical

      Rewording this to reflect how I feel about UNT: Be gentle and use lots of lube please. This Mean Green defense is way underperforming my expectation for a championship team and looks lost right now. I was cautiously optimistic to start the season but we are in big trouble with this DC and his 3-man front. You guys may be lost as a team, but our defense is so atrocious that I don't feel good about tomorrow at all.
