    Dustin Fox suggested they hire Fick immediately. I agree.

    BGSU should hire Fick immediately if they want to fall back to an average MAC team. They do currently have talent, though. QB and RB are studs. Not sure what they are losing on defense and Joplin is a great MAC receiver. Dont know if he returns, either.

    I know money talks, but lets be real, Wake Forest is a step down. He will probably go there, fail, and then end up coaching Presbyterian or something like Turner Gill.

    Grobe seemed to do just fine there and he came from Ohio (which is why Wake was comfortable going MAC). Yeah, they've been horrible the past few years, but he did take them BCS once

    If fick wants to go to BG, I'll volunteer to help him pack.

    Boise State is a much better position.

    Surprised we havent heard, "only in the sec"

    BGSU should be very good next season, a young head coach could step in and lead them to a 12 win season. They won't win in Madison but I don't know another game they should lose

    Ok? You reckon there might be more than one young coach looking for a head coaching opportunity?
  • se-alum
    Also, seems like Stan Drayton is a hot name going around, he's been linked to FAU and BGSU.

    I'm just saying that BGSU isn't an incredible position

    Seems to be a good stepping stone though.

    No real point -- just that by bringing up how OU and Akron had the same conference record with Akron having a tougher conference schedule, it sends the impression the teams are equal and possibly slanted a bit towards Akron.

    And as an alum, I will not stand for that sort of thing. NOT IN MY HOUSE!

    Not at all, even though I am happy with Akron's improvement this season and disappointed/surprised by OU's play late in the season. I didn't realize ECU actually seems to be a pretty good team, so it probably doesn't matter who gets to play them.

    Yeah, I have a feeling I'll be leaving work early on that day to watch OU get steamrolled.

    But I'll be leaving work early. And getting drunk. So I'm not complaining.

    Hard to step down with a bunch of hands shoving you in the back.

    Probably because he is going to be fired.

    He should be. It's Texas for christ sakes, with a loss to Oregon they'll finish the last four years at 30-21 with only one season (2012) ending in a ranking. This program has totally fallen apart, they aren't even competitive with top teams
  • se-alum
    If I were Mack, I'd make them fire me.
