Why is John Martin pushing Fuente to a power 5 school
We are in the middle of having a great year in football and this kid keeps pushing the button of Fuente bolting to another job. I know whatever happens happens but lets us try to enjoy this season to the end without throwing this out there after every win.

John Martin was brought in as a Calkins and Verno punching bag, with an opinion.

Why does this board have a creepy fixation on John Martin?

RE: Why is John Martin pushing Fuente to a power 5 school
Where is he pushing him to a P5 school? I'm not being funny, I am actually asking for a link/tweet/whatever.

Feels like people are discussing Fuente to a P5 school b/c he deserves the consideration with the job he is doing here. I hope we can retain him, but Fuente will have options at other programs after this year. It is my hope he stays here for a while, but the man will have options without anyone pushing anything.

I find it refreshing to have discussions about a coach being poached, in a weird way it means we're moving in the right direction! 03-wink

RE: Why is John Martin pushing Fuente to a power 5 school
Outside of the whole local radio garbage...in terms of Fuente...

Let the season play out. If our team had been under performing, many would be calling for his head, which would be incorrect, as we need to let the season play out. Similarly, before over worrying about him headed for another job because the season has started out well...3 dominating victories with two close losses to ranked teams is very good...let the season play out.

Certainly will be fantastic that after the season, our kids are sitting at 9-3 or 10-2 and nationally other schools take notice...but that will still be difficult to do.

It's called agenda. The sheep can't help it and it's always the same 4 or 5 "ewes"

RE: Why is John Martin pushing Fuente to a power 5 school
I'm hoping Fuente build a program here...and that he has the loyalty that his old boss Gary Patterson does.
This CAN be a P5 program with the right people running the show.
I think with the new UofM president they just hired, Tom Bowen as AD, and Justin Fuente running the football side of things, we are in pretty good shape to be included the next time realignment rears its head.

I don't see it on his twitter feed. Do you have a specific example link since it bothers you? Again, just curious about context. Often when people say a media person is trying to make a case for something, a link is given.

Thanks.

Fair point, but if this trajectory continues, it will be a discussion.

We'll see, I plan on enjoying the ride for now 04-cheers

Why do we get on here and look for answers to questions instead of asking the person who caused the situation for us to be asking the question that we are looking to get answered by a bunch of people that are just speculating what the answer really is?

RE: Why is John Martin pushing Fuente to a power 5 school
I'm just glad to finally have a football coach that will be in discussions about other jobs. It means he has done a great job here. I was trying to remember the last football coach Memphis had that was hired away from us because of the outstanding job they did. I'm drawing a blank.

The intent and spirit of your comment (an often reiterated one, I might add) is all well and good right now, but how do you think stAte feels right now? I'm just jumping ahead to that situation, and saying I don't want to get that bolder rolling down hill because it seems like a biotch to get it to stop.

RE: Why is John Martin pushing Fuente to a power 5 school
side note: Why can't John Martin just come out and say he is 'x' on here like Matt Stark / Keith Easterwood does? Why lurk around? what's the downside? Why not just name yourself 'John Martin' and be done with it?

There is only an upside here, John!
