Fritz was just recently hired by Tulane, so I doubt he will be in the picture for us next year.

I don't get the draw of Fleck. Why would a guy who wen 7-5 in the MAC be better than Cubit who went 5-7 in the BIG TEN? If the draw is he is a good recruiter, look what he does in the MAC with such "quality" recruits.
I think comparing records is a mistake. Apples and oranges. WMU lost to MSU and tOSU and had some very good wins in the MAC and a good bowl win for them today. That's a great season for such a young team filled with freshman and sophmores 2 years removed from 1-10.

I think next year will be a good indicator how good a coach Fleck could be as he should have a fully established program. With all the decent talent he's bringing in WMU should be at the top of the MAC next year.

Plus, Campbell and Babers both left so the door is wide open for Fleck to dominate. If he can't do it next year with a full crop of his own highly regarded recruits and a MAC undergoing coaching changes at the top then we don't want him.
Not me! I was just repeating what a reputable source (as far as the Eason situation goes) told me. Once Richt was hired at Miami, they were more of a threat then FL.

Not sure where to put his but Chip Kelly is looking for a job. . .
He doesn't strike me as a guy who would ever want to take a break from coaching....lol

so...how bad would we look if we dumped Cubit if we could bring on Chip Kelly???
About as bad as the Cubs looked for dumping Renteria for Maddon, which is to say not really bad at all.
I felt bad for Renteria, but if that guy is available and you can get him, you get him.

Not that there is a remote possibility of this coming to fruition, but if you can get Chip Kelly, you get him. That would be the wet dream to end all wet dreams.
We would look genius. We are not geniuses.

I agree, I would give everything to get him in champaign...that would be a program changing hire!
It won't happen and he wouldn't step so low. But we would look both smart and like we are jerks. I could live with that.
I think we already made a program changing hire.
Bingo !!
Smart move by Miami. Look several post down they've added American Heritage HS (FL) head coach Mike Rumph to their coaching staff. American Heritage usually has several D-I prospects.

Former Hurricane player as well, former 1st round NFL draft pick kind of a no brainer hire for them.

I wonder where Lovie Smith will end up?
Lets not be silly. If Lovie wanted to coach here, you'd be pumped, as we all should be. He did NOT get a fair shake in Tampa Bay and is not a bad coach.
