    I already heard Matt Campell's name being tossed around this year, so he will be likely on his way out. Kiffin will either implode the FAU program or leave. It's hard to remember when I last saw an adult with the amount of self-sabotage as he exhibits.

     

    I think stability is under-rated. As long as we have an AD and University President who appreciate stability, being a competitive team within the MAC, annually, and  a good reputation, Bowden will be around. The minute someone wants the flash if Lane Kiffin, Bowden won't be around. Finding these flashy guys us a deep shoot, and when you do find them, they are usually gone in 3-4 years. Ask WMU who returned to the ranks of being mid to upper tier MAC with "elite" in the rear view mirror.

    WMU just had the highest ranked recruiting class in MAC history. They'll be fine

    I can understand when people say "we Exceeded Expectations" this season if this was for example New Coaching Staff. 
    The problem is 6 or whatever years in we shouldn't be exceeding expectations We should rather be Living up to expectations

    And with this staff I don't see that at all. 

    The depths at which we were at when they took over really needs to be taken into account. You couldn't convince many good players to come be a part of a program that won 3 games over 3 years. Now they finally have somewhat of a foundation

    I think its all supposed to be public records being that he is employed by a public U. The best way would be to go through the U somehow. Not sure if its worth the hassle though. I have trouble believing newsday is correct.

    If only we had a reporter that could get us some answers.

     

    TB's comment about how he and Chuck knew they were coaching for their jobs a few games back confirms to me that there was no extension. Unless there was one in the past couple weeks that was unannounced, but I don't believe that would happen

    I wouldn't expect too many more today. The real Signing Day is in February. The fact that we got as many early signees as we did is fantastic. This class is looking like the best we've had in a decade.

    I don't know. A lot of programs inked most of their recruits today. I'd hope we get some more in before February

    There are multiple issues. We were on our 3rd and 4th RBs, eventually just our 3rd when Edwards went out. We were on our 2nd QB, making his 4th start. The line couldn't run block, and we had 2 okay receiving options, after the departures of Lane, Natson and the injury to MTB. And obviously, Milwee isn't great. I don't think he's as bad as some make him out to be, but when you put it all together, last night is what you get.

    If there is no announcement tonight does it impact us tomorrow on early signing day?

    Eh doubt it, players that are skeptical probably weren't signing tomorrow anyway. I am a little surprised an extension wasn't worked out before this game so perhaps there is the possibility of no extension, but I would disagree with that.
