[QUOTE="oskeewowwowboomtime, post: 1315053, member: 631447"] I agree with everything that you have said about Heirman but for whatever reason Underwood chose not to pursue him for his staff at this time, even though if he had wanted him it appears he could have gotten him. I am intrigued about your idea about adding him in the future as an assistant as I also think he is an up and coming coach. Nevertheless, for those of you on the Board suddenly concerned about DePaul, here is a reality check: DePaul has not had a winning season since 2007, has averaged less that 2200 in home attendance for over the last 5 years and is making the same mistake of moving into another "off-campus" arena far from campus with no good way to get there and with only 10,000 seats, which hardly qualifies as a major college draw for recruits. Hiring a high school coach who can bring a couple of recruits for the short term is not a long term solution to this mess. [/QUOTE]
