More info about Leach!
Mike Shula's resume is impressive IMO.
We mention Terry a lot but what about Tommy Bowden?

I have siad all of these names and would be happy with any of them.  Tommy would be the best though.

Mike Canales, the offensive coordinator at UNT, is another person I think deserves mention.

He took over for Todd Dodge as interim coach last year and the quality of play improved dramatically.  Many felt he should get the HC gig there fulltime, but he lost out to McCarney.

Canales was OC previously at South Florida 1996-2000 and again from 2007-2009 under Leavitt, so he certainly knows the area.

Its probably gonna be between Leavitt and Shannon….both would do a fine here….Leach is a real longshot….If Zona or UCLA comes calling we are out…If its between us and New Mexico, its a coin flip….we'll have the potential, they will have the money

Re: Angelos talks about next coach/Leach and Shannon

If its between Leavitt and Shannon, then I seriously hope we get Leavitt. He showed he is a great recruiter at South Florida and has such a fire to him. Another thing: we are in a similar position as USF when he first got there. One exception: we have a new beautifu stadium that i can't wait to see in 8 days!!!!!!

But really, Leavitt > Shannon. Maybe if we can get shannon as a coordinator. (that is a joke)

If Howard has a lot of say in the matter I truly think Nord is the front runner.  He sees Nord as an understudy type.

With the names Angelos has put out there, I doubt Nord would even get the courtesy call

Agreed, but that was almost a decade ago.  And the saying is that you have to be a head coach once before you are really ready to be a head coach.  I dont know that I want Nord, just that he might have learned a thing or two in the last 10 years.

Spoke with an assistant coach today at length.  Those are his words.

If not Leach, I'd hope Mike Shula and Terry Bowden get considered and I'm certain there will be others though that I'm sure we haven't thought of yet.

I seriously doubt Nord gets this job, but I wouldn't write him off completely just because of his first head coaching stint.  I'm sure he'd do better at the job now that he has that experience, and UTEP isn't exactly an easy place to win…plus he knows the school and the area.  Angelos is clearly aiming higher at this point, and Nord wouldn't make my top 5 candidate list, but I can see why he'd at least be considered.
