With SMU, TCU and UNT all getting new coaches in the same offseason (and throw LSU in for fun), it'll certainly be interesting to see who emerges as the leader in the clubhouse 4 years from now.

They aren't excited about it at all. If he does well there we can hire him when Brown leaves.

They wanted a proven head coach, see Fran Fraschilla

Well, I guess it's time to see just how good Benford is with X's and O's.

I wouldn't be deflated. Of the assistants, we preferred Collins over him.

That's the kind of job that the top assistant at Marquette should be getting. I would have liked for him to be a head coach in waiting candidate but you can't take away from someone who aspires to be in the lead chair.

800k for a coach in waiting to be behind Larry brown who no way will last more than two seasons.....or head coach at unt....honestly, a tough call. Previous coach at unt did well enough to get a head job at lsu
