Have no need for a coach that lost to a 3-3 Texas State.

JMU avg 42.2 points a game allowing an avg of 15.0 a game.

The one thing against him is he's 61. He would turn 62 before the season starts in 2023. Can you get 10 to 15 years out of him? He's been successful where he has been and well trained from some top coaches.

Why could you not get 10 years out of him??? In todays world working into your 70's is possible plus as a college head coach how much is he getting in there and demonstrating drills ect.

Most don't have a choice now days, with Biden crushing their retirement plans.

HMMM HE makes over $400K a year I think he will be OK. After this year he will be making over half a million if they want too keep him but again he will be OK. Or he will move up and possibly make well into the $3+ million mark if he goes to WV or any Power five school. That is on par with the rest of the Big 12 coaches salaries. But as for the rest of us not making that , yea ever since they destroyed the unions it makes it tougher

Talking salaries??? How liberal is that???? Saying that the loss of unions is bad is also liberal??? Wow who knew. Knowing you would run off at the mouth and not back it up , we all knew that. My post as mild as it would seem still angers many . Well Rootmaster I will be in WV again soon maybe we can meet and you can explain how one should post . You know give the the conservative lowdown on how to do things. But again I am sure there will be crickets say around thanksgiving when I am back that way. At least some can see the post for what it is and that my post was on topic

If they offer him $3 million a year he might. No matter what JMU does they will probably never going to get a real invite to the show. Say what you want about WVU if they win the Big 12 and go undefeated or lose just one they are in. That might do it for a lot of coaches

Money isn't always the most important factor for some people. Harrisonburg and Boone are both really nice places to live, and some, like myself, prefer that lifestyle.

Sorry I only wear sports team stuff. I don't treat anyone or political party like they are my team. When you do that you tie your identity into a team. When you identify with say MAGA you are tying up yourself and emotions into that. I cant really do that it kind of what the Nazis did say 1933. In fact the set up was the same the proud boys 3%ers and oathkeepers are the same as the Sturmabeilung. The Brownshirts are like the MAGA wearing people. It's the NAZI part 2020

Nope. Hire the triple threat and make the first triumvirate head coach(es)! Kragthorpe, Holgorsen, and Frost. It may not win games, but it will blow your f**king mind! Also one must become a minority, another gay, and the third transgender to make the diversity committee happy.

One thing is for sure. The three of them would blow each other.

And that better be celebrated lest you be a homophobic bigot! I mean if we could find a half latinx, half black transgender little person in a wheel chair who identifies as "*****" to be HC the diversity comitte would need a truck load of towels.

You are projecting and have it backwards.
