There's something we haven't had before: a coach ranked in the top half of our conference.
Never get the Ellis Johnson love.
Nobody else was knocking down doors to hire Johnson.
I like the revisionist history. Now, McGee feels bad that Arky didn't offer him the interim HC job.
What a joke.

I believe we interviewed him.
how can anyone rank a coach that hasn't coached a down of competition?
don't get me wrong, I like everything I've read/seen from McGee.
But, all coaches will ultimately be judged by W's/L's
So Southern Miss got our rejects?
I bet that should really excite the USM fans.
I am drawing a big blank on who all we interviewed.
Was that ever made public?
I recall Lance Thompson & of course McGee, but who else was interviewed?
(Assuming Johnson was as well)
Ellis Johnson = Neil Callaway

:iagree: Now's the time to even the series against USM. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Callaway on their staff at some point.
I am slowly starting to remember things.
Turner Gill along with Tyson Helton were also interviewed for the position.
I have a habit of forgetting or tossing aside useless knowledge that provides very little value to anything.
As a UAB fan I am happy they hired Ellis.

Does that mean they'll lose almost every game except when playing us?

I was wondering the same thing. It would almost be worth losing to them ever years to watch them implode
I don't want to see them implode. If you've ever made the trip to Hattiesburg, their fans are great. I just want to beat them, and I think for the first time in time as fellow conference mates, we've got a better coach than they do. The pendulum may just stay swung our way for a while.
