_ Turbine -

I cannot disagree more with your DIII theory. Those guys have never signed a scholarship player, nor recruited a DI athlete.

I know nothing of your FCS guys, but we should do their research. _

That is why I put "otherwise" If they are extreme winners at DIII you offer a 1 year contract with major incentives to get beyond that point.

What I said aout FBS doesn't apply to DIII

An FBS coordinator is no better than a DIII head coach except he will demand the big bucks and is actually less qualified because you have no idea if he can run a program.

Not true. DIII is a glorified high school program. An OC from Boise State would have witnessed the growing of one of the best midmajor football programs ever. Also, he would have DI recruiting contacts.

Your mentality of paying someone 125K is extremely short sighted. Also, no coach would take a one year contract, it just doesn't happen.

You want to go for a DIII coach and we wonder why we're terrible? Harsin has been there for the rise of Boise from peon (UL) to an elite football program. It's not 100% but it's better than just accepting mediocrity.

UL has never hired a DIII HC so "why we are terrible" doesn't apply. Besides "otherwise" meant last resort.

But and however, every UL head coaching hire in the last half century has been a Coordinator from the top level so "why we are terrible" would apply there.

Every keeps talking about Terry Bowden at N. Alabama. I say to hell with that. Let's go after his daddy Bobby!!!

He did it at a program that refused to play money games with the fans.

I think "money games" will be the biggest hurdle in finding the next UL head coach.

ps Home and Home does not constitute a money game.

I'm talking the mindset of settling on DIII coach and others who want to hire Lewis Cook. I also wouldn't compare Rickey Bustle to Brian Harsin. Just my opinion.
