I don't think they can. If they win, I'd expect him to resign and have a coach in an interim role. I'm sure the AD is already putting together a list of coaches and will have an agreement quickly. JMU will soon be putting another school in an equally horrible position when they snatch away that coach.

Or they're telling JMU's fans to hold off on sending in that check to Rockingham County Circuit Court for restitution and instead send it to the AD to try and make Houston an offer to stay.

Houston leaving for Charlotte screams "JMU is an FCS program and has no intention of moving to a FBS conference." Their fans must be sideways right now.

Especially since many on there had their nose in the air with the attitude that Charlotte was beneath them. They got humbled in a hurry.

The angst on the JMU board is going down two different trains of thought:

1. Who leaked the news about Houston? JMU fans say it was UNCC in order to force Houston to make up his mind sooner. 49er fans are countering that by saying it makes no sense for UNCC to embarrass itself by leaking early.

2. Appy State apparently has a coaching vacancy (I assume that their head coach was hired away by a higher level program) and so rumor has it that they might go after Houston. Even more interesting to me is that now that the Houston news is out, ECU has announced that they are firing their coach (originally they were going to announce it after Saturday's game but now they are announcing it early so as to get into the Houston sweepstakes). So Appy and ECU might also be vying with UNCC for Houston's services.

Of the three, Appy currently has the best program, so that is in their favor. Otherwise, I would think Charlotte has it over living in either Boone or Greenville. I think a coach could probably work more wonders at UNCC than at ECU.

With all of the HC's being shown the door, sure glad and understand Huge finishing the transition last week, and glad most, if not all of the staff is set. Otherwise, the coaching waters have gotten muddy very quick.

Funny, my wife actually says the same thing. She says that she would rather live in Boone than Charlotte. However, the point was that rich young folks with families would find more to do in Charlotte.

(By the way, we are neither rich nor young and we don't live in Boone or Charlotte now).

Maybe Coach Houston is holding out for the Ohio State job:)

So Charlotte's pulled their offer so Houston can "pursue other opportunities": https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/stat...3055719424

ECU is interested. The timing and being in the playoffs may keep Houston at JMU this season. I don't think anyone can perpetuate the myth that Houston has zero interest in leaving JMU.

I hear you (and don't disagree) but there were a lot of butts in the seats then. Student section as well.

Holy Cross game = Gordie Lochbaum's visit to the Colonial Capitol. A rainy, dreary day as I recall.

Holy Cross game = Gordie Lochbaum's visit to the Colonial Capitol. A rainy, dreary day as I recall.

That was a GREAT schedule at the time.

Colgate, our opener, had Kenny Gamble who was considered among the top running backs at the time in 1AA - which he showed in the 1H. This game was Lambiotte's coming out game, which as I remember we won with a 2H rally in exciting fashion.

Both Harvard and VMI were sellouts or close to it. There was an article written about the Harvard game, it was independent and taken by some larger papers, describing the game in positive terms, a football game with perspective.

I still have the newspaper write-up on the Holy Cross game - which was homecoming. They were undefeated and #1 in "1AA". We had just come off a win vs Princeton - that followed our huge win at UVA, 41-37. Gordie Lockbaum was in the running for the Heisman. Their head coach, Mark Duffner, a Tribe football alum who later took the job at Maryland, was the HC head coach. Holy Cross had sold 3,000 tickets for the game. The article mentioned Cary was overflowing with 17,100 at the game (we had huge end zones then) despite the rain.

If you were trying to make a point of sarcasm about a bad schedule, you failed miserably in this example.

Sitting Bull is right. We were independent then and had to play almost anybody we could get. Don't forget that was also the first year that we made the playoffs!

Edit -- I also love the game times. A sensible time of day when football should be played!

1:30 game times in September in W’burg, sitting in the student section, were hotter n ....

I do not miss them one bit!

1:30 game times also cut it too close with Saturday morning activities which didn’t exist back in the 70’s or 80’s.

3:00 is the best game time as far as I can tell. You can do your morning errands, go to lunch or tailgate and be home by dinner time. I don't like the night games.

I'm confused. This is at least equal to (if not better than) our current schedule.

2019 1986
JMU > VMI
'Nova EVEN Harvard
Rhody < Princeton
'Gate EVEN 'Gate
Towson < Holy Cross
Laffy EVEN No One
