Seriously. Evidently Florida hasn't cracked down on student fee spending like some of our states have.

Your TRASH AD hires his buddies so he can sell 7 more tickets and have it blow up 2 years later.

oh druggie, go away, focus on your budget limited coaching search which is going to produce our sloppy seconds as your head coach.

Budget Limited?
We are raising our pay and we about to break ground on a 40 million dollar facility.
Cool you can pay an extra 200k because your students make up like 70 percent of your athletic budget.

Ha! This guy is something. Give him his medicine, please!

That athletic facility sure is going to house some 3 win talent. Oh and nice try bashing the Butch hire. You'd be jumping for joy had he gone up to Boca.

Ikr? Me rn:

Leavitt basically said that the job was beneath him, LOL! We got our first choice and you get what? Larry Scott??? Yeeesh, even our leftover Cristobal would be better.

Quote:Florida Atlantic
The latest name out there for the FAU job is Tennessee TE Coach Larry Scott, which is not a name that will strike fear into Conference USA opponents, and is nowhere near the splashy hire made by rival FIU this off season. It is starting to feel like FAU is treading water in their search, with Jim Leavitt falling short of calling this job beneath him.

Yea we never asked Leavitt to interview.
Also if you look at both programs from a far you're beaneath us.

Again you have had two OC'a quit and Butch Has been the coach for a month.

Not according to Leavitt.

Wasn't there someone on the fau board, begging and pleading for Jim Leavitt? Who was that guy? Oh yeah, it was YOU....guess what...fau is BENEATH the consideration of Colorado's DC. Our first choice, is our Head Coach. Welcome to the real world where we have money to spend and you get Larry Scott.

Also, in order to quit, you have to be hired first. No one has been hired as an offensive coordinator. Kind of like no one has been hired as a head coach at find another university.

For the sanity of the stout hearted FIU fans (how ever many there are)...I hope all the cash being spent on FB is recouped and then spent on the stadium and the other sports...IMO some cash spent on MBB and WBB would help you guys

I like the low key insult. Thanks. Football is clearly the king of $$$ in NCAA sports. FIU is trying to build up the football program and will expand from there. Baseball should see a sharp rise with the recent hire of Melendez too (number 1 recruiting class in America).

no insult intended, I read these boards (and so do the guys I work with in sports media) and we all comment on how resilient your fanbase is, the common remark is that you guys deserve better than you admin tends to give you.

I'm with you Fish, in everything.

Basketball coach has been a disappointment, and if things keep going the way it has, I expect another coach soon.

With Butch Davis, we landed a high level coach with experience and a keen eye for talent. We have a new baseball coach who is doing everthing right until now. We just had the #1 rated recruiting class in the nation for 2017 and are already ranked #9 for the Class of 2018. There are very bright spots in FIU Athletics.
