Elko first, huff second. Everything else is just noise that isn’t happening

Why would a coach want to stay at a basketball school first? You think Duke has an advantages to keeping Elko because of this I assume?
Hadn't read this before my reply. Elko would be a good hire but maybe the Cameron Crazies convince him to stay?
Certainly possible that there could be some wealthy alums that drop a bag, but the conference is on the verge of collapse and I know that he has been very receptive to overtures. Maybe the winner of the champions classic this year gets Elko lol
Agree. Stoops is another example like Klieman where people feel hamstrung to bring someone in with a previous Iowa connection. Why? Iowa has a young, energetic, sharp AD who's embracing NIL and where the game is today. Give me a young climber HC who's going to bring some new life to the program.
Speaking of that, does it surprise any one else that Jason Candle hasnt been offered a P5 job yet?
Not really, he started hot but has some really bad seasons in there. You can’t have multiple bad seasons with zero recruiting prowess and get a decent P5 job. A lot of coordinators are much higher then a Mac Hc.
Those would be great hires too. I think Oregon State coach with him playing there would leave but would probably take a bigger job than Iowa
Christian McCaffrey says hello.plus we all know had bad the squaks play in the rose bowl stadium
I wonder just how good of a job the EIU position really is? Granted being in the Big Easy conference they can pay well, but they also have only had 2 football coaches in the last 45 years. Both won enough to keep the fanbase happy, but there is also many that are wanting change. A advantage of the job was being in the Big Easy West division, but that is now gone. Why would a coach like Klieman or Stoops want to go to the B10, when they are calling the shots at the school they are at. No reason KSU cannot be at the top of the B12 most year, and like others have said UK is a basketball school so Stoops is not getting the crap that he would get at many of the other SEC schools, both make great money, why leave.
Gonzo, in your opinion, just how good of job is it? Level of Penn State, Michigan or more like MSU and Illinois? I never said it was a horrible job, its better than ISU, but their largest advantage is going away, so just how good of a job is it.
Obviously it's not a PSU, tOSU, Michigan level gig. But it's an upper-half B1G program that has a whole lot of money, elite facilities and resources, and historically offers ridiculous job security for those who want it. Still, if a young climber were to come in and achieve great success, I have no doubt it would be a stepping stone for them to something bigger/better in the B1G or SEC. But there's no denying it's a pretty plum job that's going to be able to throw a lot of $$$ at any new HC.
Money can’t buy happiness. Or wins on the gridiron. After all, half of the teams will have losing records. Not the best use of money, but hey, live it up.
You're the guy who equated women's college wrestling to "midget" wrestling, right? Lol.
