At least we know now that Chun and Kelly are going after the big names and really willing to spend $$.  I expect most fans will be happy with who we end up with.

If Chun has to explain who the next guy is and convince us why he's such a good pick like he did last time then no I don't believe a lot will be happy.  I was concerned about Chun being involved in another important coaching hire for our program, unfortunately we are depending on an AD that's still learning on the fly.  Hopefully Chun comes thru though and surprises us.

Would you prefer an AD that just goes after the no name candidates like several other schools have already done at our level. Based on the Kiffin rumors it is clear that Chun is motivated to make a big hire and has the backing to do so.  Not saying we won't have to settle for a lesser known candidate in the end but Chun is no idiot and his job is on the line. I have confidence he will make the best hire possible now more than ever.

That wasn't what I was getting at. Was saying if some of these rumors we are hearing today are true then I hope we don't blunder dealings with the bigger names and end up having to settle for someone none of us have heard of.  I'm glad we are at least trying this time around.  I admit I've been hard on Chun and for the good and future of the program and his success I hope he proves me wrong.  Just saying tho, Chun is still young and learning and some of these agents for these coaches can get pretty nasty and aggressive.  I hope we really are giving him all the support we can to make something big happen if it's possible.

Just be prepared to be disappointed at this point because I know I am. 

In other news we offered a starting qb today! Kids deserved second chances!

No need to anticipate dissapointment…

Level set ourselves.  We are FAU.  We are a small school in a small conference with no TV revenue.  We have not had any success in the previous decade on the football field.  

Now that we are calm…

We dont NEED a hollywood star to come in for a year.  Our basketball program had ex North Carolina coach Matt Daughtry here for a stint…didnt do sh*t for the program.

We need a football coach that can come in here and win football games over the next few years.  Period.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
