All FB coaching rumors and speculation

[cyIclSoneU]

UVA opening is very interesting. Bronco was never a good fit for the community; UVA is a pretty unique institution that thinks of itself as Harvard academics with Duke basketball and a football program on the side. Very snobbish but some good people. Already heard that Virginia is reaching out to Campbell and Fickell. No idea if either will so much as pick up the phone but take it for what it is.

Should we be worried that Colorado State fire their coach?

LOL....i can see it now. "Matt Campbell shared that it has never been about the money and saw an opportunity to make his wife happy who dreamed of raising kids near the mountains"

edit nevermind, I'm an idiot who can't read the internet correctly

And he lost to Bowling Green this year, wow.

I said decent. I didn't say good.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

Virginia is his alma mater, what are you talking about?

Uhh... no it's not.

I'm pretty close to some UVA folks who are plugged in and they never thought he ingratiated himself to the university very well, plus there were always concerns about his (mostly Mormon/Utahn) staff in a school that tries to be New York cosmopolitan but is south of the Mason-Dixon - neither of which jive well with Bronco and his people.

I was too slow on my edit

We should hope that Tony Alford gets that gig (or any HC gig). He's due.

I had thrown his name out (and Golesh) as a possible CMC replacement. No idea if either or both are ready, just familiar names if you are trying to keep the band together.

His performance is overvalued by you, absolutely. Particularly jsb who is cliff diving without a parachute at the thought of CMC leaving. You have not been able to support your adornment without brining in irrelevant history.

Do people usually cliff dive with a parachute? You’re dumb.

Tony has been ready for 10+ years. He’s long overdue.

It's not exactly a charm school.

Guessing Wolken talked to the same guy at UVA that I heard from second hand. Like I said I have no idea if Campbell even takes the call but there are people at UVA who thought of him immediately.

Well if he takes that job, we know he wants the hell out of Ames. Hell if he even takes a second phone call from Virginia, we'll know he wants the hell out of Ames.

Hey JP - Campbell wants mountains built in his backyard. Get on it.

 

[RedlineSi]

If he goes to UVA I’ve got some ocean front land to sell in Arizona.

If he even talks to them, he must want the hell out of Ames

If Virginia is reaching out to CMC then that’s disrespectful to CMC, like seriously. Virginia? They should be calling me.

I figure he takes one call from anyone.

It would be interesting to know what he's thinking after this week. I'm guessing this was the first time since he started getting good here that he was absolutely not the pick of a school that talked to him. We know he would have taken ND and it seems pretty possible that he would have taken USC.
