JJ has no where else to go....
Hawaii and thats it....
So if you are talking about JJ as Heavyweight as Urban Meyer or even f'in gary patterson, you are sorely mistaken....

A&M might come sooner. Rumors are that they are trying to buy Sherman out.

I don't think SMU is a highly desired job but it is a good job. JJ was the national coach of the year. I don't think we will get a big name coach with the type of fan support we have in the stands. We are not going to get get Nick Saban or Gus Malzahn (Malzhan would be really good here). I do think Hugh Freeze, Cristobal, or Adrian Klemm would be getting interviews.

i am usually in agreement with you but you are off on this one. 2+ M buys us lots of love - many existing HC plus solid coordinator options. June hire was brilliant (i think he was better then Nick is describing but not like he was nick Sabin or something) - we were basically Rice back then - so very lucky to get a rebuilder.
Hope he doesnt leave but our situation is far different then it was. We might lose a QB recruit but nobody else - they come for the chance to play and that wont change, nor will our committment to win through "creative" admissions and tutors out the wazzo. This is a great job for the next guy whenever that happens.
Much as I love Klemm he is not our next HC, or anyone else's. He will need to go OC first - If it is one thing we have learned you hire someone who brings a competent staff with them, which rules out all but a few coordiantors.
I hope this job is as attractive as some are saying it is but I just don't see it. I think at best we get stuck with some unproven up and comer from the Sun Belt/WAC/MAC like the ones Nick listed that will excite very few people. I don't think we can touch the high profile coordinators like Smart, Malzahn, etc.

IMO June wants to come into a situation where there's absolutely no pressure. He has the ego where he would be viewed as the savior to a downtrodden situation and everybody would cater to his demands.
There's certainly not the need for him to be constantly looking over his shoulder. At his age (58?) would he really want to even do that? Maybe but then there would be instant pressure and expectations from a huge fanbase.
Personally, I think he knows his Spew N Blow offense won't translate to a higher level WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK.
Obviously, none of us really know what he wants to do. But given his track record, that's my belief.

Houston Nutt tied to the Memphis job and he said last week he has one more run in him.

Texas guy, monster on the recruiting trail in his days as an assistant but that domestic violence thing is a killer.

Just putting up a note about Sherman's situation. Nothing more since we're talking a lot about coaches. Maybe the wrong thread to do that.
