I wish people would stop doing articles on him. It's going to be hard to keep him.

Fantastic article, and pretty sobering. He really is the next big thing in college football, and we all need to pack the Liberty Bowl next year to show our gratitude for what he's accomplished at our school.

Enjoy it while we can. If we lose CJF we simply have to hire a really good replacement and keep supporting the program.

He has the whole package; swagger, confidence, gambler, that growl and he loves his kids.
And most importantly he knows what he's doing and how to do it.

“That’s the decision that we’re trying to make,” Fuente said. “We’re going to do whatever we can to make sure we build a football program, even if we are in the middle of SEC country, just the way Forth Worth, Texas, is in the middle of Big 12 country. We want to have that work ethic and blue-collar attitude that, hopefully, people will take notice of.”
This guy gets memphis.

I'm hoping that real soon we're in the Big 12 with CJF still leading the team!

Unfortunately, the days are numbered for CJF. If he wins 8 to 9 games this year, he may be gone.
