The unofficial online home for fans of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

I believe he's here for the foreseeable future and this will be different than what UC fans have come to expect. Why?

• He's an Ohio guy - born and raised in Columbus.
• He played Ohio high school football.
• He played at Ohio State.
• He's never coached outside of Ohio [Akron, Ohio St, Cincinnati].
• He can build this program up with HIS stamp - much like Brian Kelly did - and take it to the highest level. I'm talking "erect the statue" territory.
• He's realizing the advantages of being in the center of a pretty damn good, fertile recruiting region. Area high school coaches are taking notice and bridges are being built/maintained.
• He can be the first coach to stay here more than 4 seasons since Dantonio.
• He has the ear of his wife who made the suggestion to him to consider interviewing for the Cincinnati job if it became available.
• He's Catholic and that fits demographically with Cincinnati.
• He's a family guy with roots and puts his kids above other things.
• Mike Bohn/University Leadership will do everything they possibly can to keep him happy within financial reason. If he continues this winning clip there is no reason not to pay him what Dana Hogster is making at Houston.
• He won't leave unless Notre Dame or Ohio State wants to hire him. Neither job will have an opening anytime soon.
