Which then begs the question on who McElwain targets for the offensive side and who other new coaches will target for their staffs.VisorHair wrote: Lol.. I would be ecstatic if he came back to Laramie. But that staff will probably stay in FoCo. Mac won't bring very many to Fla.
I think that Bronco Mendenhall at BYU would at least be marginally interested at coaching at the school he played at. I would love to see BYU scatter to find a coach and it would serve their fan base right as they want him gone. I know I would kill for his record as a Uw fan.VisorHair wrote:NOW OPEN:
Oregon State- Pelini
Michigan- Thinking their AD screws this up and gets someone from left field. No clue. Originally thought Mullen, thinking thats still a possibility, or will try to bring in Harbaugh. Definitely have feeling of Schiano.
Colorado State- Man.. Thoughts? I think their OC will take the reins for bowl game.. But this will have to be an important hire.
UNLV- Obv Sanchez from Gorman + hearing Orgeron and Nutt in the mix. The AD there is a lunatic, assuming she turns down the $30M offer with Sanchez and goes with a older coach. Gut tells me Nutt gets it.
Tulsa- Who cares.

I hope CSU gets a good coach. I'm of the opinion that a rising tide lifts all ships in the conference.

No. They are a team we can actually beat.McPeachy wrote:UNLV should just drop football and focus on basketball and such...ala Gonzaga.
Ooooh...good point. On topic, maybe we can dummy down the conference a little further with the next round of alignment, and really be able to compete (now)? Think how proud Burman would be of our budget compared to these fine institutions...I can just hear him say it now, "It is great that we now have a conference we can compete in with similar athletic budgets".

Probably not a great hire for immediate success, but he really can't do any worse than his predecessors.
I have no reason whatsoever to base this on. I have no idea who this potential coach is or who the potential donors are, so this next statement is 100% irrational. Still, for some reason, I can't help myself from predicting a drastic rise of UNLV football followed by NCAA sanctions
Exactly my thoughts lolWestWYOPoke wrote:Hell, if they use some of the money to buy an OC and DC that know what they are doing, he can just take a back seat and let them run the show.
That's what it's sounding like from initial reports. May have not been getting along with people wanting traditional Wisconsin run-it-down-your-throat football and his spread offense.TSpoke wrote:Gary Anderson to Oregon State...WOW....Nice get from them. Must have wanted out of Wisconsin bad.(I say that as a OSU fan)
