SMU has an enormous endowment and a ton of wealthy boosters. Houston has a large alumni base of retail clerks and lower management. The bulk od what Morris will receive will come from donations. Houston will pay their new coach from conference revenues.

True dat at SMU ... black gold, Texas T. On the other hand, Houston's maybe a step up from Louisville-community college ... with some possible oil money via flunkies from A&M or UT. Some of those flunkies come with cash of their own, and they'll find money at Houston versus waking up with it at SMU.
 
What's going on at Wisconsin?

One of the top schools in the BiG, and certainly best in the West, and their last 2 HCs have left for schools that struggle to make bowls in the SEC and PAC.

Sources tell FootballScoop that Bo Pelini plans to accept the head coaching position at Youngstown State footballscoop.com/the-scoop/

Not a huge shock. I believe he's from Youngstown. He and the Stoops brothers and one other coach in college football were from this area and have strong ties to it. While I thought he'd land a FBS gig, I'm not totally shocked he went to Youngstown St.

Don't disagree with the connections but I'll believe it when he's at the introductory press conference... been a long 24 hours since this was floated and now the Wisconsin job is open.

Seems to mirror what exactly happened to UConn with Edsall - AD was blinded sided, players had not clue, the coach states the new post is a dream job, is from the area, great for the family, etc. Wisconsin is a top 25 program and it is unusual for something like this to happen to them.

I'm gonna go with Barry Alvarez is a tough boss who most likely gives advice on a regular basis whether the coach wants it or not.
 
Wait did Pelini really take the Youngstown state job? I hope that was a joke
 
Wisconsin can do a lot worse than Bo Pelini. Only issue is whether he'd get along with Alvarez.

I don't get how Tulsa is a popular opening....what exactly does it bring that makes it so attractive?

I think there's a Denny's for every 100 people.
 
I used to go to Tulsa for work. Hated it. Can't imagine it as a favorable destination.

Forget about favorable, having been to Tulsa a few too many times for work I can't even imagine it being a destination.

Baylor OC Phil Montgomery hired at Tulsa.

Will be interesting to see if the OC brings that high powered offense to Tulsa. Not sure who deserves the credit for that offense at Baylor, Briles or the OC, but it was definitely high octane.

Must say, all these AAC teams are bringing in big Offensive minded coaches. I'm a little bummed we have a Defensive minded one. Hopefully he can find an OC that will add to the same level of Defensive knowledge Diaco knows....If everyone wasn't jumping ship I'd almost say there is some hope that the AAC might be a decent conference moving forward capable of unseating the MWC as the best G5 conference.
 
There's got to be a story soon about Wisc. They've lost 2 really good FB coaches in 3 years. To Arkansas and Oregon State. Too hard academically, not enough money to staff, facilities, other? And don't buy the I wanted to move closer to home - his home is Utah. Look at a map. that's like someone saying I took the UConn job to be near my family in the Carolinas.

Pitt's Chryst to Wisconsin

That is such a Hathaway "safety hire" move from Alvarez. Must be gun shy about the next coach bolting again so he hires the "Wisconsin Guy" in Chryst who has underwhelmed at Pitt.

Hmmm....

If Chryst leaves #Pitt they should focus on #Fordham HC Joe Moorhead someone who would view it as a dream job not a stepping stone

BobLichtenfels 8:18am via Twitter for Android
Moorhead is a Pittsburgh guy who can recruit and his system fits the personnel that #Pitt has it would be a seamless transition.

BobLichtenfels 8:20am via Twitter for Android
Moorhead is well liked by local coaches and would put together a good staff of guys with local ties. Todd Orlando would be in mix as DC

If Mooreland does go to Pitt, it's well deserved, he has been great at Fordham.
 
Jaysus, our conference just got much more offensive. Morris to SMU. Montgomery to Tulsa. I expect Houston to go offensive too. Has anyone seen what Tulsa is paying Montgomery? I just searched and couldn't find contract details.
 
Moorhead to Pitt would be an extremely safe hire too. Pitt can't keep a coach longer than 1-2 years and they will likely prioritize "safe" on their list of criteria in their search.

I am starting to read this as Alvarez is the issue. The guy is a legend at Wisconsin, is still there as the AD, and is even going to 'temporarily' step in as head football coach for the Badger's Bowl game. I wonder if he ever left. It would similar to if Calhoun replaced Hathaway a the UConn AD after UConn had picked someone outside 'the club' to be the new basketball head coach. Imagine having Calhoun looking over your shoulder as your boss?
