That’s funny it was just there. It was Jordy Cullota (not sure who that is) saying he has it on good authority that CBN has said he is not talking to any team until LSU hires a coach but In the same sentence he says CBN will be a player in the UF job.Quote:

Because Florida is one of the Top 4 or 5 coaching jobs in the SEC, have the funding and facilities necessary to challenge for a national championship. Not to mention one of the top recruiting states in the country.Quote:

He's been mentioned for every SEC job that has come up since year two. Yet he's still here.Quote:

There is also an old saying when it comes to college coaches, you can only say no to so many jobs before they stop calling you.
I hope he stays until the stadium renovations are completed and he wins an outright conference championship. But I'm not naive enough to believe he won't interview for a position if the right job becomes available just to remain the Coach of the Ragin Cajuns.
Yeah, the inner workings are things none of us really knows.Quote:

Let me add several things to your list, and this comes from a top assistant that is no longer with the program.Quote:

The third one is key along with eventually being close to family because that is what the man believes in.

35,000 is the perfect size from growth. They could reduce it slightly below that as well by chair backing the entire stadium with larger seats. Creating a more comfortable fan environment. But no way we should ever seat anything less than 32k.
UNC and FSU.Quote:

We have a shot at beating FSU and going undefeated to a NY6 bowl with a better QB. A NY6 bowl is usually the height of some of these coaches that move on. Get the man another raise after this year!
I still do not see him going to LSU.
I keep hearing about him getting close to home, he was born an hour and a half from Atlanta...he is less than 2.5 hours from home living in Lafayette. UNC and FSU are both 6 hour drives to his hometown...or you also fly into Atlanta which is no different than living here. There are only 2 places that would really be “closer to home” Alabama and UGA
Two. Tennessee and Auburn.Quote:
