He has built a good program at Marshall, I was at the C-USACG last year at Rice. Rice beat them good, but I do like his style. Has a good resume. His name is and will be coming up for jobs. They play La Tech this week. Most of his time was spent in West Virginia, short stint at Fla. I could see him staying that way, some talk with him and the Fla job, don't think it was much, or just one sided. I think he was at Fla for 5 or 6 years and made friends, kind of like Jimbo at barn.
I spent the first 22 years of my life in BR and have spent the last 35 here in the Bay Area. Whenever I am asked what the worst thing about growing up in Looziana is my response is always the same. It's too damn close to Texas.
I know a guy from Texas who is remarkably subdued for someone from that fine 'ahem' state. I once told him that I thought he was a pretty good dude even though he was from Texas and he retorted "You know, there's only two kinds of people in this world. People from Texas and people that wish they were." I replied "No, that's just the people with their heads up their asses" Shut his ass up.
