And then got shown up by the Rice marching band when Tulsa played them the next year. I would never commit to play for that guy. How could you ever trust him to stick around?

In addition to Fickell, apparently the Zooker is a possibility at Pitt.

I'll never understand why people think coaches are just going to come out and say "Yeah, we've talked and I'll probably accept the job shortly". They always deny, look at Urban, case closed.Con_Alma;1020049 wrote:Not true.

They never say such a thing that I know of. Who thinks they would?sleeper;1020062 wrote:I'll never understand why people think coaches are just going to come out and say "Yeah, we've talked and I'll probably accept the job shortly". They always deny, look at Urban, case closed.
Regarding Penn State and Niumatalolo, both parties have now confirmed that there was never contact and Penn State has no interest in even talking to him.
The rumors are simply untrue and it's common sense. Navy's Coach is nowhere near what Penn State needs.

Ellis Johnson, the "assistant head coach for the defense" at South Carolina, has taken over the Southern Miss Golden Eagles.
Akron will not be getting Paul Winters, he signed an extension at Wayne State through 2016. Unless, of course, he becomes the next weasel coach. Akron will probably be getting Scot Loeffler, the OC at Temple.
Pitt may have hired Mario Cristobal, who is head coach at FIU. He asked Pitt to refrain from publicizing it until after the bowl game (tonight).

Interesting. Hiring a 65-year old, first year head coach. Norm must've really wanted a nice retirement location.karen lotz;1022149 wrote:Norm Chow to Hawaii

Bowden is a legit hire. If Auburn hadn't been under sanctions his first year, there is a good chance he would have a NC to his name.

LOL at saying he's a good coach because LJ said so. Do some reading from sources other than pro Akron people and LJ and see what everyone else thinks.

exactly. We had our own alum, home town guy (Paul Winters) who is a d2 coach at Wayne State turn us down to stay there. I hear mixed reports..some say we offered Temple's OC and he turned us down, some say we never offered him.SportsAndLady;1024022 wrote:Yeah, and LOL @ karen for mocking a coach that Akron hires..as if they're expected to get some top coach.
Either way this came out of nowhere (maybe a little help with Bowden's connection to Faust) and is a really big step up from what we were looking at..

139-63 and 2-1 in bowls and 4-4 in tournys. First coach to ever go undefeated in his first season as a D1-A coach. He ran away because he was going to most likely get hammered for violations.karen lotz;1024023 wrote:LOL at saying he's a good coach because LJ said so.

2-1 in bowl games makes him a bad coach? That's logical thinking.karen lotz;1024050 wrote:He is 2-1 in bowls. Congrats on your new coach.
