Not even if he improved statistically in many categories?
Somebody on this site seems to think only W/L record matters. Statistics be damned.

The last time Houston Nutt left a school on his own terms it was Boise. I can see him returning to a non-power and having a respectable 8-10 years before retiring if he chose to. He's 57, which is actually younger than I figured he was. Maybe he gets hungry for a bigger job if he has a good run there but he was never Spurrier status in the SEC so I see him being seen as too old to get back on that level as a head coach.
Tulsa of course may choose to go with a younger assistant and I think Norvell fits the bill. OU fans aren't as enamored with Josh Heupel the coach as they were with Josh the quarterback but being in-state I think he'd be near the top of their assistant want list to have a young man lead the program back to some degree of relevance.
Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if ASU lost a top assistant, especially if he is one of their hot recruiters.

Terry Frei doesn't know what he's talking about as far as the Josh talk-Foley is one of the best ADs in the country.......and he can't wait for a guy who could be coaching in the NFL into February. I still believe this gig will go to Sparkles.....can't understand why they won't talk to Dan Mullen though.
Supposedly Mullen and Foley did not work and play well together when Mullen was at UF under Suburban Meyer.
If I could do something I genuinely loved, knowing my superiors had my back in an off year, I would do it until the end at $850k/year. Something to be said for that on both sides with the right leaders involved at a Service Academy.
Calhoun played at AF, knows the culture in and out, and is cut from the same cloth as Fisher DeBerry. He's successful at his alma mater too . I don't see him leaving but anything is possible.
I get the impression that it would take something very special to get him to leave, and that something special isn't about the $$$. At AFA he gets to work with a unique group of athletes. They are very bright, highly focused, and highly competitive. He doesn't have to deal with prima donas and it is more important to turn our officers than draft choices.
Ultimately for Calhoun if he wins the COC trophy it is a good year. Anything else is gravy but he is getting his share of wins.
Imagine a light brown piece of soft dog crap floating on a fetid green pond of sludge. I give you Josh McDaniels. Hire away. Lightweight doofus. Overpaid homunculus. An OK OC, but not an HC. Would possibly be a good recruiter because he's so full of ****, but things would fall apart rapidly after the kickoff. Take the college team you hate the most and pray they they hire Josh Mc. Holy ****ing ****.
Bold prediction, MCElwain or someone else.
Well McElwain or someone not on the list right now
So... you have the field against McDaniels?
Gator fans knocking Mountain West talent. Doesn't the Mountain West have the best record in BCS bowls out of all conferences?
I hear you, just giving you some grief...:thumbsup:
Michigan has reached out to some and surprisingly, they have not been well received. Supposedly Jim Harbaugh and Butch Jones, although part of discussions, are not going to be candidates. that seems surprising. Hoke is all but gone...
Les Miles is in play, but some are worried he will diss UM and stay at LSU.

One thing I've learned is that much like Todd Graham, Jim Harbaugh and Butch Jones will always be candidates until someone else has signed the contract.

A jet is enroute from Gainesville to Fort Collins right now...The Lambs may be looking for a new coach very soon...
Would certainly brighten my currently bleak CU off-season.
Sheepnation could be very entertaining for a while.
I wonder if UF is waiting on something to happen with Muschamp. I have heard there is a interest from both parties in bringing him on as the DC at Auburn, and I have also heard that some other high profile programs (South Carolina, FSU, A&M) may want him in the same capacity. if a bidding war gets his salary up into the 7 figure range, the buyout for Sparkles may be more palatable to UF as they'll have less committed to Muschamp.
:lol: I suspect that the UF AD is leaking this to mitigate any bad press from Ole Miss beating them out on an HC, but I bet Freeze and his agent are glad they waited until the ink was dry on the new contract.
