Dude. I enjoyed my time in CUSA with UAB. But lateral move? In what sense? It's an upgrade in terms of pay, conference affiliation, recent on-the-field success, fan support, etc. I'm not saying he'll take the gig if offered. But the Memphis job is clearly a step up.

If it's not a BCS school it's a lateral move. Wake me up when an SEC school comes calling.

Sure, but I doubt like hell it's a big ENOUGH step up.

1. Not a BCS job.

2. Birmingham > Memphis (city)

as I assume you've noticed, that one has sort of blown back. the baseless, fact free rumor mill is speculating that memphis will poach either monken or wku's coach after the CCG. there is a thread in their team forum where they weigh the pros and cons of which guy they deign to accept.

I remember when college football was mostly about college football. I also remember when I thought that espn was a very, very good thing.
