Butch Davis is now available :lol:

Not sure how I feel about a 70+ year old HC, but he's got top-level experience and looked like he wanted to coach for at least one more year.

The fact they have not announced an opening for the position, and that a team has been put together to do a national search is already scary to me. Why wait to get the ball moving and try to be ahead of recruiting and putting coaching staff's together.

Look at what Missouri St did, they hired Bobby Petrino, he has a checkered past, but he has Missouri St heading in the right direction. How long will he stay at Missouri St, who knows. I would think probably not long. I could seem him getting a job at a Mid-Major (Group of 5) school after this year. Then again maybe he is content at where he is at and maybe he has burned his bridges at the higher levels.

I presented that to my son on Friday.  He coaches at LSU and Coach O was his step dad.  That’s right…Coach O married my ex wife.  They divorced back in February.  He didn’t think Ed would move to Macomb. 😊

Where did you see this - about the national search, I mean?

Regardless of whether it's officially been posted or not (I don't see it listed on the list of open administrative positions yet), word is out and applications are coming in. They may not legally be allowed to post it until after this weekend though, just fyi.

For example, Coach Shields at UNLV has officially applied...
