That's not the subject of this thread. There are other threads for that discussion.

BV didn’t have many options because there are not many openings.

There were a lot of Offensive Coordinator openings this season:

Arizona State
Auburn
Boise State
California
Charlotte
Cincinnati
Coastal Carolina
Colorado
FAU
Georgia Tech
Kent State
Kentucky
Liberty
Louisville
Mississippi State
Navy
Nebraska
North Carolina
NC State
North Texas
Oregon
Purdue
Rutgers
South Carolina
Stanford
Syracuse
Tennessee
Texas State
Tulsa
UAB
UCF
UNLV
USF
UTSA
Washington State
WKU
Western Michigan
West Virginia
Wisconsin

And he ended up at #130th out of #131 football programs in the country. Come on, man.

Uh, most not open by mid December man. By the time he was searching, good many of these were filled or deep into the process or he wasn’t applying to them. You can’t just throw a list out there as if he had his pick of these to pursue and was passed on them

lol I know he didn't have the pick of these. That's my point. He wasn't going to be considered for most of these. The entire country knew he was an interim - any number of those programs could have called if they were actually interested.

Vincent could have interviewed or entertained calls freely. He didn't have to wait to December. He chose to wait (if he did).

I'm not buying that it's just timing that Vincent took such a bad job (and it is a bad job...but I guess in this economy, any job is better than none). Vincent took one of the few jobs that was willing to take him at the OC position. There weren't any more Bill Clark's out there saving spots for him.

But I admit I've never been a huge Vincent fan...and that's been consistent for at least 4 years...and I think it's clear that his demand was low (which makes the fan push to try and force him down our throats even more egregious). So am I a hater? Yeah, probably...and an ass too lol.

:-) But I also can't say that I won't be at least mildly curious to watch what happens at New Mexico next season. I would be absolutely floored if he's able to help them get even close to bowl eligible.

He had other offers and interest. He chose New Mexico. Fact.
