tpsjugglerdude Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Matt Campbell is leaving Toledo to take the Iowa State job. The MAC is losing a great coach. Interesting that Toledo beat Iowa State earlier this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he has them ranked for their 2017 visit to Akron. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 I'm surprised someone could make Iowa State this bad. Quote
Jrship35 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Babers, Fleck and Carey are next Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Babers, Fleck and Carey are nextMark Richt was fired today and Virginia's coach resigned. There is also the opening at Memphis now that their coach is heading to Virginia Tech. I fully expect one or more MAC coaches to get plucked away. Quote
Jrship35 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 I'm guessing Muschamp down here in Gawja !!!! Quote
LZIp Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing Muschamp down here in Gawja !!!!That would be a horrible hiring.As for Babers, I'll throw his name in the ring for UCF. No clue for Fleck and Carey. This year may not be their year. Edited November 29, 2015 by LZip Quote

LoyalZIP Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 WMU is going to make Fleck the highest paid coach in the MAC. He's not going anywhere yet. http://footballscoop.com/news/source-western-michigan-working-on-new-deal-for-pj-fleck/ Quote

He's not going anywhere yet.http://footballscoop.com/news/source-western-michigan-working-on-new-deal-for-pj-fleck/I think I saw him linked to Rutgers, but if that doesn't happen then great for WMU. The MAC needs a new bar set. Losing coaches to P5 conferences is one thing, but losing them to other G5 programs and/or having salaries much less is a bad look.Edit: See exhibit A.http://www.hustlebelt.com/2015/11/29/9816274/dino-babers-new-ucf-football-head-coach Edited November 30, 2015 by LZip Quote

tpsjugglerdude Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Posted November 30, 2015 That said buy those season tix for 2016. Time to win the division.The East just got a little easier to win with the departure of Dino Babers. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 The East just got a little easier to win with the departure of Dino Babers.IF (big if) Matt Johnson does happen to get his 6th year of eligibility, I wonder if he follows Babers? Quote
ewbrooman1 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Last coach to leave Iowa State with a winning record was Earle Bruce. Six seasons, last 3 were winning. ISU has a .375 winning percentage since 1979. Good luck Coach Campbell. At least you will be paid well. Edited November 30, 2015 by Rooman81 Quote

LZIp Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 or not.Interesting. That same guy also said Babers to UCF, though. He's bound to get it right sometime. Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I still expect Babers to go somewhere this year with so many highly visible jobs available and the domino effect that typically ensues.As a Zips fan, it is great to be going into the "closing time" of recruiting season with the quarterback position solidified, a winning staff in place, a bowl berth and a winning record. Couple all of that with our facilities, and I'd expect we'll have a great 2016 recruiting class.To quote Charlie Frye from his Frenchy interview: "If you're a high school football player, why wouldn't you want to come here?" 1 Quote
LoyalZIP Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Babers isn't going to UCF. It's Scott Foster named today. 1 Quote

With our current lack of commits, I'm expecting a pretty strong ending relative to the rest of Bowden's tenure. Those decommits from MAC HC vacancies should be ripe for the taking. Quote
