Discrim Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 So the grass eater fancies himself a miracle worker now, eh? I'd imagine a coach who valued his sanity would run away in sheer terror from the KU job.

RichO Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 UNC brought back Mack Brown because the college football needs to give checks to more ancient men I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it probably saved them money too. Surprisingly, he's the same age as Nick Saban! He might get you a few more 3 and 4 stars in the door, but who's going to be coaching them? By the time he left Texas he was viewed almost like Jerry Lewis. Roll him out in front of the boosters a couple times a year to raise some money for the athletic department and make sure he gets to the sidelines on Saturdays.

His buyout is reportedly VERY low and after the need to pay Fedora $12M with $3M to be paid on or by January 15, 2019, they're just buying time for ACC Network money to start flowing. Law firm HKM has many of the contracts. https://hkm.com/football/contracts/larry-fedora/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Matt Wells to Texas Tech? Seems early for him to move. Could've waited, even with Early Signing Day in three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've waited, even with Early Signing Day in three weeks. I get it: Higher profile school, better-paying job, bending the truth for the sake of PR, yada, yada, yada. He pronounced his loyalty to Utah State and said that it would take something big to pull him away (implying a school bigger than Texas Tech nad that he would have to think long and hard about it, given his ties to Utah State). He then takes a couple coordinators with him and rumor has it that his brother is already trying to recruit would-be USU Aggies to Texas Tech. What really gets me is that Utah State hasn’t even been selected to a bowl game and he’s already flown the coop.

Seems like it should have been as long as the Ole Miss bowl ban (or longer), though I guess it effectively was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
