That makes sense about not needed the DFW market - but who would the B12 go for if they suddenly needed to replace Mizzou? I admittedly highly, highly doubt that will happen - just curious.

No worries man, I don't get hung up over conference as much as you guys.

Here is what I've heard around the years. First the Big 12 would go after Arkansas. Now before ronnie spits out his afternoon latte, that ain't going to happen. Next, attention would turn to its left flank. Colorado has often been considered a weak link, so Colorado State could be an option to secure that region, or the conference might go as far west as Utah.

TCU could happen, but the league would work through other options first. Take that for all it's worth, not like I'm a Big 12 insider for anything.

Nor am I a Big Ten insider - just a rumor-monger

Actually though, Colorado State makes GREAT sense. Instead of a 5th Texas team, which TCU would be, to add to the Colorado presence. Make sense.

This is why I like Pitt in the Big Ten - makes 2 PA schools. That would make 2 each in PA, MI, IN, and IL. Plus of course Pitt is strong in FBall and Hoops, which is a plus.

It wasn't latte, it was Diet Coke and I am still trying to get it off my screen.

Texas Longhorns have money to burn...........

Can somone explain the twisted logic why Mack Brown gets a 2 million raise?
There is 0 chance he is going anywhere else, who is the genius that decided to give that money away?

Cincy goes back to the well again.....

Groundhog day lives as Bearcats hire Central Mich coach Butch Jones to replace Kelly, runs same offense system as Kelly, feel sorry for Chippewas being used as "stepping stone" for Cincy two times now

Cincy is getting killed by this Kelly stab in the back, many highly sought after recruits were lined up to for Cincy and are now going elsewhere, no love lost for him in Cincy..........

Sheesh DA...he didn't stab anyone in the back. You act like he was bound by blood to Cincy. He earned and was hired for a better job. That simple.

I think that's a good hire for Cincy. Should provide as smooth a transition as possible, and will give them a head coach for the bowl.

Yes I think he is good fit for the Cincy program he will inherit, Collaros has tremendous QB talent and most of offense will return......first job is to try to keep as many recruits as possible from defecting and upgrade defense next year

Butch Jones had better record than Kelly at Central Mich and had two years offensive coach at West Va for Big East exposure......will get nice facility upgrade with bubble dome all year practice field under construction (Kelly demand from Cincy)

Is Quinn still going to prepare the Bearcats for Florida?

I did some digging into the Cincinatti program since a couple of Oklahoma guys were mentioned for the job. It is amazing what has been accomplished there. Put it this way, Sumlin wouldn't even interview for the job for good reason. Houston is a better situation than Cincinatti. Good to hear they're building a dedicated practice facility. That is a good step.

Unless we hear otherwise......
I would like to see Butch Jones step right up and assume coaching job immediately

Not sure why Houston coach Sumlin stayed put, salary upgrade and gets team that last 2 years went to Orange bowl & Sugar Bowl........how do you top that? Stay in conference USA?

Still I think Cincy made best of bad situation in record time with Jones

As an ironic twist I heard rumor that Quinn is now interested in the Central Mich head coach job

I agree - he should. However, CMU is in their own Bowl. When is Jones leaving?

Still awaiting official news release, sources say 5yr deal with Cincy, CMU confirms Jones is negotiating contract with Cincy

CMU plays in GMAC bowl 1/6/10 against Troy (Sugar bowl vs Gators nice upgrade)

I'll take the opposite viewpoint. Jones should take over recruiting and more of the administrative side. However, where the bowl game is concerned, Quinn should stay to prepare and coach during the game. First, he is familiar with the team and how to prepare it. Second, he is familiar with the scheme and implement it. Third, he has operated in this situation before. Fourth, he is hungry and would tackle another opportunity to prove his worth as the head man.

Don't shoot the messenger, but he has chosen to sew more seeds and wait for a better opportunity. Houston is one of the better mid jobs in the country. Because of how fertile the Houston are is, he will be able to bring in the same caliber athlete, if not better, as Cincinatti.
