But, that's too crazy to consider at this point.

A lot of smoke out there.

As I've told several of my friends about Fuente...I'd rather lose a coach due to him leaving for another job instead of losing a coach because he got fired.

And wouldn't you think, that with his relationship with Gary Patterson, if any talks are taking place about Memphis into the Big XII CJF would have some skinny on what is or isn't happening now or the near future?

If Fuente gets offered Top 20-30 in a power league, he's gone.

Maybe if he can be successful there right away he might jump to an upper middle tier program. But I don't see him taking on another rebuilding job unless it's an elite program. Why take on the time and the risk of a rebuild when he can ride this thing out to an even better program in a year, maybe two at the most.

If he stays, and my sources say 75% he does, we will join the BIG 10 or the BIG 12!!!!!!!!!!!! Now lets pay the man and hold on for a great ride.

He's way too smart to go to Kansas.

Wow. A position coach hired as HC.

We will see.

Isn't the contract extension with Fuente pretty much done? I've been gliding along for a couple days with that idea in mind...?

They obviously don't plan to pay much and are happy to be a basketball school collecting a P5 paycheck.

Was it "fat", or "man"?

McElwain just got FLORIDA after a 10-2 regular season in the MWC.

Not much difference between that and Fuente going 9-3 in the AAC.

Especially given where both programs were when each coach took over.

Only difference is that McElwain is a former SEC coordinator (Bama at that).

I'm just amazed at how well our last search committee did. They were about to hire a guy that is now the head coach at Florida and, instead, chose a guy who led us to a conference championship.

+XII That's a very gr8 point. ...kudos
