I'm going to throw in a guess that he does a season at D2 New Mexico highlands then goes as a package deal to a better school with his 2018 4 star QB recruit little brother. You heard it here first folks.

How is he going to play two seasons with one year of eligibility left?

Was a top three returning WR in terms of receiving yards this past season. Just great.

Underused since his Freshman year, despite having the highest yards per catch average on the team.

Maybe highest yards per catch average per season in NCAA history (minimum 5 catches) his freshman year. Somebody prove me wrong.

I thought he made a mistake on his Twitter when he put Houston--->Las Vegas and then had his actual location be "Las Vegas, NM" instead of NV. Apparently not...

I think it is bush league by David Baliff to do this to Coach Edmondson so late. If he knew he was going to let him go, then he should have done it when he let the other coaches go.

By letting him go so late, it screws him over trying to find another job because most of those jobs are already filled.

David Baliff lost another supporter. I guess I should just have jumped on board with everyone else. Probably did it so he wouldn't lose the recruits Larry was bringing in. Selfish....

Timing would be even stranger if this is the reason, as we could still lose any recruits.

Right. Plus what recruits was Edmondson bringing in? We have the 10th ranked class in C-USA according to 24-7.

I don't think Larry was caught by surprise at this decision; David isn't a guy who would screw anyone over.

I'll ask about the circumstances at the recruiting meeting coming up.

Timing isn't nearly as bad as is being suggested. The announcement came ahead of the AFCA convention which is one of the biggest hiring events for college football assistant coaches. The AFCA convention is where many interviews can happen in a single place and the biggest networking event for coaches.

As davidw points out, these things don't happen in a vacuum. I don't think this was a surprise to any of the principals involved. I would guess that it was probably discussed in advance and I would not be surprised if the timing was requested by somebody. I can certainly see how, if Edmondson was looking for a new job, it could be advantageous for him to still be employed.
