Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 4:57 pmWhat I find amusing while musing is that I personally think that Gus Malzahn is going to someday be a very good Div 1A coach. I think that Rice could have been a good match for him and they could have taken a chance on him for limited money, gotten Mustain, Cleveland and expanded their spread offense. Now I guess that is out of the question for any consideration.
I do realize it would have been a tremendous risk, but at this stage it might have been worth the gamble.

By all accounts, however, he can really coach.

Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 6:49 pmOK, I'm kidding.
Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 6:54 pmHis interview at Rice did not go well. TRANSLATION: He told Rice officials the concessions he would need in order to run a competitive program and they didn't like what he had to say.

How about Ron Meyer? He knows HOW to get a recruit's attention. Just put your card on the school's bulletin board and attach a $100 bill to it. Works every time!

Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2007 9:26 amI think Valdosta State is Championship Division (1-AA). Johnson worked out pretty well for Navy didn't he? Cavan didn't work out for us. That's the risk you take with 1-AA coaches. Some pan out, others don't. I think when you're looking at this type of hire late in the recruiting season, its not the time to go out on a limb. Because, if next year he has a bad year, his tenure is doomed. A coach with some credentials would at least get a chance to right the ship and could have a better chance to hold on to the recruits you've got committed.

Hal was at Valdosta State but Chan was at Troy State and later Samford.
