Not sure I would call it fair just the JSU standards are high.

...Mullens should be available in a few weeks... seriously, Gary Patterson, if he wants to still coach, would be a VERY 'splash' hire for JSU...

I don't believe Helton sells positions.

Lol

If he does, I need to figure out how to buy in!

Fixed it. Thanks!

Makes sense, and it's a good time to do it with the transition to Division 1-A FBS.

UTSA hired Larry Coker for the transition to FBS. Makes sense that maybe JSU wants someone experienced in FBS football.

he was in Bill Clark's wedding. He ends up in Birmingham in some capacity next season.

I figure he'll be hired as HC somewhere in fcs.

Jody would be a good hire, in my opinion. He has the outgoing personality needed at a (future) G5 school. He was running backs coach at UAB in ‘14 when Jordan Howard was unleashed & OL coach in ‘18, when we had the best OL of the Clark era.

I thought he would be hired away by someone not in a P5 by now. But maybe he is a KC Keeler or Danny Racco, more suited for a small college or IAA school.

Major Applewhite, Kevin Steele, both UAB coordinators amongst other names mentioned for the JaxState opening

Thats not an exciting list.

Please take our OC. UAB fans would thank you.

Sure you would and South would probably be happy to replace theirs too.
The DC at Memphis isnt too hot looking either.

Just not a good list for a new FBS program to starting building a foundation.

We'd really hate it if they took our OC but best of luck to him if he goes. Not saying he is but interesting name out there Butch Davis. JSU willing to spend while FIU isn't, good coach to bring them into FBS.

Coker was hired to build a start-up program. His name brought instant credibility to the UTSA program.

UAB’s first coach never had a losing season in his four years 27-12-2. He was fired so we could bring in an experienced coach for the transition. The experienced coach had THREE winning seasons out of twelve finishing 62-74. Dumping a successful coach to bring in higher level coach can go both ways.

Any they hired Watson Brown who has the inglorious distinction of being the all time losingest coach in history ever!

RICH RODRIGUEZ likely to JSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


source FB scoop

Would be an OUTSTANDING hire if it finalizes.

CONGRATULATIONS to the GAMECOCKS!
