He was going to take the UW job before, but they wouldn't pay him the money.

He loves/knows the region & it's not a high pressure gig. It's a job he's comfortable with and this time they paid up. It's really not that big a surprise (one of the few jobs he would consider).

12/6/2013 10:05:18 PM

I thought he'd be a lifer in Boise

12/6/2013 10:22:14 PM

Well Boise State has really fallen off the map lately... I'm sure that influenced his decision.

12/6/2013 10:29:43 PM

Boise State was left behind in conference realignment.

12/6/2013 11:40:15 PM

Wake reportedly focused on Lembo and Class on (Wellman has met with both).

Lembo met with UConn today, Clawson's name is being thrown around at Boise.

12/9/2013 6:06:28 PM

Dave Clawson to Wake. Bowling Green has an opening.

12/9/2013 10:06:45 PM

Narduzzi is interviewing with UConn. He's from New Haven but is destined for a bigger program IMO

12/9/2013 10:07:52 PM

Joe Schad reporting that Mack Brown will step down later in the week.

12/10/2013 7:42:19 PM

Regardless of where he ends up Saban will be making 8-10 mil a season by the time this is all done.

12/11/2013 8:21:17 AM

Win MAC -> Head Coach in the ACC Atlantic Division

12/11/2013 9:06:20 AM

Odds of getting Mack Brown to replace this assclown of a coach that we have?

12/11/2013 3:03:06 PM

Don't know if a has-been is any better than an assclown.

12/11/2013 4:11:38 PM

better a has-been than a never-was, AM I RIGHT?

12/11/2013 4:45:34 PM

Bring on Mack Brown as recruiting coordinator. Seriously though Brown is getting a bunch of flack for being old, but he is the same age as Saban. Dude still has another ~5-7 years of coaching left in him if he wants to take over another program.

12/11/2013 5:22:59 PM

Notre Dame DC Bob Diaco to UConn.

Really the football program died the day Louisville moved to the ACC. Basketball can be fine and will win big still but that football program is in the wilderness.

12/12/2013 8:06:40 AM

If we had waited a year, Mac would have been a hilarious hire.

12/12/2013 8:09:45 AM

Rich Skrosky (Ball State OC) new head coach at Elon, as if anyone cares. I'm pretty sure TOB's son is still their DBs coach.

12/12/2013 8:57:51 AM

Saban staying put. State of Alabama to suffer a Brinks truck shortage.

what happened to that $10M/yr texas was offering for a job that isn't even open?

12/14/2013 11:57:11 AM

all that for the 2nd best coach in the state

Mack Brown "resigns" and Rich Ellerson is fired at Army.

Jim Grobe interested in the Army job.

12/17/2013 10:43:31 PM

Texas fans down here are more delusional than NC State fans when it comes to a coaching search. The best available coach right now is probably Mack Brown, too bad I don't think they can land him...

12/18/2013 9:40:54 AM

Was the talk of Saban or several prominent NFL head coaches true? If so, then yes, Texas fans are the most delusional fans.

[Edited on December 18, 2013 at 9:45 AM. Reason : .]

12/18/2013 9:44:41 AM

I am gonna guess they will settle on James Franklin

12/18/2013 9:50:09 AM

Lane Kiffin is available. He's got head coaching experience at two high profile football powers.



ehehehehehe

a little too early to consider them delusional, especially with their resources

availability doesn't mean jack when it comes to being the head coach at Texas

12/18/2013 11:40:54 AM

Yeah that is what makes them delusional. They were talking about people like the Harbaugh brothers and Mike Tomlin as actual options. If you think you can land one of those guys for Texas football you are fucking delusional.

They are likely going to hire Franklin and pay him under 5 million, there is no reason to drop 10 on just any coach just because they can especially when there isn't a coach that would go there worth that kind of coin.

12/18/2013 12:04:53 PM

there have been legitimate things written about Jim Harbaugh going to Texas

not saying it will happen, but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility

12/18/2013 12:13:34 PM

If it happens I will eat my crow but that is fucking lunacy to think he would leave the 49ers for Texas.

12/18/2013 12:20:12 PM

everything I've ever read about him is usually about how different he is

so it would kind of go along with that narrative perfectly

12/18/2013 12:21:30 PM

Petrino to Louisville... yes you heard that right

1/8/2014 1:08:57 PM

So I didnt really follow the whole story when he was first at Louisville, but twitter is going crazy over this hire. What happened last time?

1/8/2014 2:02:12 PM

left UL originally to go to the falcons, then bailed on them to go to arkansas, then got fired because he had his mistress on staff.

and now sounds like he's back at UL, lol

1/8/2014 2:07:50 PM

But did he burn any bridges when he left Louisville? A coach leaving for an NFL job doesnt seem like a big deal.

1/8/2014 2:11:45 PM

IIRC, he pretty much left without any warning and never met with the players or anything when he left.

He's definitely a good coach...but I don't know how this is gonna work out. I'm surprised to see him back a UL.

1/8/2014 2:16:20 PM

I guess they're paying the 1.5M penalty for leaving his old school?

1/8/2014 2:34:27 PM

bout to run roughshod over the acc

1/8/2014 2:38:57 PM

and UL will be taking Maryland's place in the Atlantic. woohoo.

1/8/2014 2:44:52 PM

I live in Louisville, sadly, so I know lots of UofL fans. They are all awful. I know more UK fans that went to UK than I know UofL fans that went to Louisville. Which doesn't make sense because from and undergraduate stand point it's a pretty shit school. Anyway, lots of folks here are pretty upset about this Petrino hire.

Apparently he was a lot like Sidney Lowe (only he won)in the fact that there was no real structure, recruited thugs etc. When he left, 35 players left the team as well. He left them in a wreck, as bad as the mess Doeren was left. Only, NC State wasn't coming off an Orange Bowl victory and Louisville was.

Petrino constantly flirted with other jobs every off season and is basically a huge scumbag like Calipari is in Lexington. Hope its another disaster and UofL feels bad about themselves.

[Edited on January 8, 2014 at 2:46 PM. Reason : wow this is a poorly worded mess.]

1/8/2014 2:45:42 PM

He did well at UL though and had Arkansas in position to do well in the SEC.

He is a good coach...a great pickup for UL again considering he knows how to recruit that place already.

They will be a serious ACC contender in about 3 years.

1/8/2014 3:29:29 PM

^absolutely. He's a great coach. Once he starts winning all these awful UofL fans will be all Bobby all the time. I wish he weren't coming becasue I was looking forward to beating UofL at football next year.

1/8/2014 3:41:41 PM

James Franklin offered the Penn State job.

Doug Nussmeir getting a pay bump and will Bethe new oc at Michigan.

1/9/2014 6:37:29 AM

Franklin accepted Penn State job. $28 million+ over six years.

sucks for Vandy fans.
