I wish him well if he gets the job. He's always seemed like a genuinely good person without a fake bone in him. It would be interesting to see if his recruiting prowess holds up at New Mexico St.
The best time to take a job is when it is total shit and nobody expects anything. If you do just a little you're God.
It does not take much to win in that crappy conference. Look what Menzies did there.
Ever been to Athens or Tuscaloosa? I have twice to both most recently this Nov for Alabama vs Auburn football. Tuscaloosa is a little (still not good) better but Athens is an absolute dump. Alot of the Southern cities are horrible (Knoxville, Auburn, Starkville and others but it doesnt stop good coaches/recruiters from recruiting to them. Hell Tark recruited to Las Vegas in the late 70's and early 80's.
What all of those crapholes have is a great enviroment to play in for a lot of reasons, rabid, to the point of way too rabid fanbases that care way too much, but for a couple of years not a bad spot to be. Remember when UNLV was the greatest show in town, when the players where celebs, thats how those places are.
With that said, Yes, I know we are talking NMSU and Las Cruces... and by no means am I comparing them to the SEC just pointing out colleges can thrive in some really crappy towns. NMSU has in the past.
Rice redemption time! We should just hire him back and call it a day….if he’d have us. Recruiting would go nuts.
I wouldn’t wish UNLV on him in a million years. Too nice a dude.
