Hearing the same thing from a few close to the USM program. I'm not sure Tulsa is a step up for Fedora, but they were paying Graham $1.3 million.

Talked to my neighbor this morning, who is a huge "booster" for USM, and he said that Fedora is looking to get out after their bowl game. My neighbor also said he talked with someone (he wouldn't say) close to the USM AD's office a week ago and that the Nix bros will probably come back to H'burg. Tyrone being HC and Derrick being either an assistant coach/position coach/or co-coordinator.

Especially in CUSA where scoring points and running the spread is par for the course?

I'm still amazed that so many people consider him to be a good coordinator.

I think USM should definitely give him a shot, and if they don't, they'll be really missing out on a great opportunity...

...to help my program out.

All 10 of them circulate a daily group email using the 'Reply All' button. They found that to be a lot easier.

Sounds like Tulsa is going to either promote Chad Morris (the OC) or hire former Tulsa coach Steve Kragthorpe whom some of the big money boosters still are close with and really like. I highly doubt it will be Fedora. However, I could see USM hiring Derrick Nix as he is a USM fan favorite, however most USM fans I know want nothing to do with Tyrone. However, I'm not sure he's any worse of a DC than what USM currently has.

If Nix wants another job at USM, he'd better have a little more success. He has many critics among the USM faithful. Some of the criticism is deserved, some not. He's a better DC than what we have now, but I doubt we can afford the Nix brothers now.

Here's hoping a FCS school takes a chance on him as a HC, and that he does well. THEN, those critics might be silenced.
