Anyone have BSU/SFA/Murray St/etc fan forum links? Curious to see what the fan bases of our "targets" are saying.
Seth Greenberg doesn't have a coaching job right now. Could probably turn Jameel into a pretty good role player.
I'm not very good with these things but can someone please throw up a double face palm on this comment. Put us in this "mess"? Holy crap. May be the worst comment I've read yet. A mess of a top 10 if not top 5 team? I wish our football program was left in such horrible shape!
Sorry, I had to step away from the computer for a moment... Can I get a quick update on what has transpired in the last 10-15 minutes? Has anyone been killed with a trident because last I checked in it looked like we were headed in that direction?
I like how they call ISU the Armpit of Iowa.
As opposed to Murray, Kentucky (had to look up where that was)
The jewel of Kentucky!
THIS EXACTLY. I am so completely underwhelmed by the list of coaches being tossed about. With Hornacek out, do we really have to go to a half way successful guy like high major Dana Altman, or a relatively unknown low level mid major coach??? For those with short memories, Dana Altman actually has already coached in the Big 12, at KSU, and left because of fair to middlin' success (for Creighton). The guy from Stephen Austin - REALLY????? He's working on his 3rd recruiting class - EVER, ANYWHERE - at the lowest of the lows in Division 1 conferences. The Murray State guy - SAY WHAT??? This is about as LOW MAJOR as it gets. And if anyone says Jerod Haase again, I'm going to vomit all over the place.
This is a big time university with the makings of a big time program. We need to quit approaching this like a bunch of self conscious middle schoolers at the end of the year dance. Good grief! If that list is the best we can do, then I am 100% in on Tim FLoyd. Fantastic coach - probably to the point where he won't use us as a stepping stone. So what if he doesn't play Hoiball. Would a return to a small amount of defensive effort kill us????
If it isn't FLoyd, Xavior's coach Mack, or someone better this will be a complete debacle. CAN ANYONE SAY WAYNE MORGAN????? This is starting to feel exactly like that.
TJ may be the next Izzo - I have no idea. And I would prefer him over any of the mid major wanna be's people are tossing around.
UNBELIEVABLE. Quit excepting second rate status when you don't have to. Of all of the candidates currently considered likely I'd take TJ. But that is just because we still think that no one can love a Cyclone. And, if we decide to hire a mid major type coach, I'd take Ben Jacobson over any of the guys being mentioned. Oh..... I guess we've already done that too. Just like we have already hired Wayne Morgan, and thought we were lucky to do that.

SFA - This one seems their most "active" one. Google "Steven F Austin message boards" you'll get some ancient results. http://www.lumberjackfans.com/home/
Murray State - Active. http://www.racerfans.com/board/
BSU - Couple of em, all seem decently active.
Valpo - They got an active thread on it. http://www.valpofanzone.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0
Oregon - Couple active boards.

The surprise candidate is Mark Few. When Pollard was visiting TJ last year in Seattle, Few drove over from Spokane and they struck the deal there. The deal is done, but they are waiting until Monday to make it official.
