. . . again, lots of moving parts to that analysis . . . I figured and would like to it have been seven figures . . . I may have posted that then . . . Should be kudo’s to MH for having saved a quarter of a million dollars . . .

To argue it wasn’t the right hire is your opinion and a fair argument. To argue it was done to strictly save money and hire on the cheap, as many do, is just factually incorrect.

Well he was already here, what were terms of his previous contract?

What’s wrong with it? Troy won it last year. SO Al predicted to win the west this year. So Miss a rival in the making. TX St has a new coach 53 transfers and just beat Baylor, they coming, ODU’s new OC who led all of FCS last year with nearly 600 yards per game will win more than most people think. Then you got A State our oldest football rival currently on the schedule and ULM who will play their Super Bowl in Lafayette.

Anyone who has a problem with our conference schedule either isn’t paying attention or just don’t understand where the conference is currently.

They listed those specific characteristics of Des because that was the guy they hired. They wouldn't sit there and name all the things he doesn't possess that others would've provided. So, of course those are the characteristics they "enumerated" that they were after. Otherwise, it would've made for an awkward press conference.

. . . I got it, you don’t like Des so the facts don’t count . . . what a disappointment . . .

Both those coaches are eons ahead in coaching experience. It's not even close.

Yes. Thanks for making my point. You can be Helton with PAC 12 head coaching experience or Des with none. In the Belt you gonna get paid belt first contract kind of money either way. No one is gonna pay a guy like Helton 1 mil in a first contract even with the experience.
