In other Conference USA news...

Seriously? I would've given him another season, but I guess with the move to CUSA they want to start fresh. Cristobol won't have any trouble finding work
LMAO!! Thug u, takes a hit.. Dude should have bailed when he had the Rutgers job in hand.

Didn't see the other thread, and I looked too. :(
Wow, just last year, he was a "hot" name in college football. Seems little quick given that FIU has no tradition/ history to live up to...

A coach that built a program and had one bad year got axed. I'm sure most coaches without Florida ties would avoid a job on that precedent.Quote:

True. I was just considering their conference situation vs ours, their apparently lower admission standards, new stadium and bigger budget u to student fees. Not saying he would look at it as a longterm solution but as a better short term gig.Quote:

The last line is quite interesting. Butch Davis? Wow.
There are some really crazy names flying out there. I almost choked on my lunch when I read the rant sports article and they mentioned Gruden.Quote:

Is this a CUSA thing; you get in and you get stupid? Are they trying to take the heat of la tech?Quote:

You fellas enjoy cusa.
So typical for FIU. They started with Don Strock, then local legend Christobal, let's not forget Isiah Thomas in basketball. This is a university that thinks if you played it at a high level you can be a head coach at a high level. Yea, how has that worked so far?Quote:

Also let us not forget and not to be outdone FAU hired Howard Schnellenberger for their celebrity coach to start the program, followed by Pelini brother of a rather infamous coach at Nebraska.
Cristobal = USF Perhaps??? Per NBC.

Get over yourselves, CUSA trash...
FIU's AD is not an easy guy to work for. Garcia had a personal problem with Cristobal. Apparently he was fired for refusing to make a change to his coaching staff (just like Isiah Thomas last spring), with the 3-9 season being used as additional cover. Cristobal will likely stay in south Florida because of his strong family ties there. That's the reason why he turned down Rutgers last January. Wouldn't be surprised if he joined the Bucs and coach Greg Schiano. They worked together at Rutgers.
If they had a fan, he would come on this board and give you crap about this post. :)Quote:

And an athletic director named Rick Mello?
One can see why Rick didn't stay around, but how about Shakey in a program as stable as theirs?
