He fought the good fight in a lost cause.Quote:

So was Rich Rodriguez (asst under Scelfo and current WVU coach). I wonder if we'll see Scelfo in a WVU shirt next year on the sidelines. I am sure he will be somewhere.Quote:

Isn't he from Abbeville? He got a million dollar buyout. Is he good at offense? Perhaps we could sway him to come home?Quote:

So I know they know each other.
He would make a nice OC. But then again, so would Steve Spurrier or Urban Meyer.Quote:

I am new to this site and I am wondering if anyone can confirm or has heard rumors about either of the two.
I tried to start the rumor about Scelfo. That would be cool. but I haven't heard anything for real. Someone said something about bringing in a really strong DC and letting Bustle run the Offense, while bringing in a younger coach to work under him, perhaps as a QB coach or something like that. I guess one of the ones you named would fit under that season. It would be really good for them, not sure how good it would be for UL.Quote:

There are higher qualified high schools coaches in this area, if Bustle wants to go in that direction.Quote:

Nevertheless. She was saying that she was kinda sad about the coaches leaving, I explained to her that its a business and stuff. Then she said, unsolicited by me, that she believes that we are looking at the Tulane coach (Scelfo). She says that she doesn't know for sure if they've actually had direct contact with him, but, she says that they have made trips to NOLA to watch him coach.Quote:

I think it does give a glimmer of a possibility that Scelfo would come. i think anyone who has been an HC at a bigger school with some success would be great for us. Anyway, let's just hope that the best hire is made and that RB can get who he wants, be that Scelfo or somebody else who he thinks fits.
Rumor has it Troy will be looking for a new DC as well due to a departure. Wonder who they will try to get.
Not jumping :rolleyes: but that comment seems kind of squirrelly. Who would have gone to see him coach, and when? Having someone with his experience and local ties would be great; but that one comment just didn't add up for me.Quote:
