I hope you're right. Good hires.

I am content with Rich Rod, fun offense - his defense is garbage which equals more offense, and 8 win seasons is good enough to be tenured at Arizona.

I thought, maybe think, these rumors are coming from RR's agent to get a better deal, but it's coming from too many people at this point.

I heard Zippy the chimps name mentioned.

Narduzzi turned down UConn. Just signed extension at MSU.

[jjgold]

Schiano maybe

[ChalkyDog]

I have no where else to put this:



Worth the watch, if you must fast forward to the 32 second mark.

Louisville is 10x the job that UConn is.

[ChalkyDog]

Louisville is 10x the job that UConn is.

How good of a job is Louisville really? I mean, they're going to the new big east - so they have that going for them as far as quality of conference.

In all reality though, it seems like a middling job.

[jarvol]

Louisville is 10x the job that UConn is.

Not really.

They might back to the Petrino well.

[ChalkyDog]

Keep seeing this all over the interwebz. I think it's simply just fans being fans though.

[BigdaddyQH]

Lousiville will be a middle of the road team in the ACC. They will not beat Florida State or Clemson with any consistancy at all. They are also going to have to play Va. Tech and others in the Coastal Division.

Going to ACC aren't they? I am a huge big east guy and it goes without saying the big east is dead and Louisville job is 10x better then uconn job.

Yes, I am talking specifically to how much of a "powerhouse" the Big East was in football, and how well that lines up with the ACC.

[Dr. Gambler]

Louisville is not a great job at all. Basketball yes..but football no way

[CMNoney]

Louisville has really good facilities.

They are also surrounded by a great recruiting area.

I see absolutely zero reason they can't consistently contend in the ACC every year.

Probably the 4th best job in that conference.

Anyone can compete in the ACC. Place is not a good football conference.

No idea about Louisville's football facilities. Their basketball facilities is borderline cheating they're so damn nice and create so much revenue.

LKid1 coked out of his mind, just ranting about Strong...could be quite the motivator.

Big East had Miami, Va tech, when they were powers. Big east was never able to keep the big teams.

Louisville pays coaches a top ten coach salary and of course is not yet a top ten prestige program, not by a long shot, so they are clearly motivated . ACC has enough good teams that a power team in the ACC could absolutely become a national power. Lets not forget Clemson fla state Miami va tech they have some strong teams in ACC.


this was less then a year ago and players can't move around LOL.....

Long paste but worth posting..

Texas longhorns football made 71 million profit in 2011. They can afford Charlie Strong. Listed is 50 most profitable programs in any sport of 2011 most recent data available.




Over the past week, we’ve posted financials for every football and men’s basketball program in the FBS, with the exception of the military academies. Here are the links: ACC, Big XII, Big East, C-USA, Big Ten, MAC, Pac-12, SEC, Sun Belt, Mountain West and WAC.


Below you will find the top 50 most profitable programs. We’ll post 51-100 later today. The “% Invested” column shows how much of the specific sport’s revenue goes back into that specific sport.


Please read below before viewing the financials.


About the data: All of the data is from reports each school files with the US Department of Education. It is the only available data for both public and private universities. However, there can be variances in how each school chooses to report data. For example, each school can decide for itself whether to break out television revenue by sport or leave it in a generic revenue category, which causes variances. After speaking with dozens of schools the most common practice appears to be attributing the majority of television revenue to football and a portion to basketball. The most common split is 65/35.


There are also variances from year-to-year, so be careful when comparing this data to last year’s data. For example, Florida State’s football program showed a gain of approximately $14 million from ’09-’10 to ’10-’11. When contacted for comment FSU explained that in ’10-’11 they broke out contributions by sport, which they hadn’t done previously.


Although far from perfect, this data is the only available data for all Division I programs (with the exception of the military academies). We just want to make you aware of the possible variances and will let you draw your own conclusions.

L'kid, this is gaining a lot more steam.

[ChalkyDog]

Interviewing with the UL AD tonight?

[navyblue81]

Schiano maybe

I think this is a very good possibility

[jjgold]

nobody is irreplaceable in any occupation other than a few legends like Jordan, Lebron, etc

[Louisvillekid1]

LKid1 coked out of his mind, just ranting about Strong...could be quite the motivator.

:Banghead:

[Big Bear]

Charlie Weis, Tom Cable, or Tony Dungy perhaps.

[15805]

I think Louisville should hire Mack Brown he'd be far better than Strong was.

Yeah he might help in recruiting.

Although Charlie Strong had a pretty " strong " squad this past year..

not sure why they would let him walk

Brown got lazy and consistently failed to evaluate talent. On top of that, he failed to develop the talent he had.

There was nothing keeping Strong away from Texas as soon as that offer came in.

the Louisville AD shouldnt have been so cheap. What are they doing with all that money they got from winning
the BCS game last year and College hoops championship.

anyways i know Mack Brown is not a great coach. I was just thinking
maybe he could pull in some Texas recruits.

Hopefully not pay for Rich Rod's $1 million buy out.

[Louisvillekid1]

I don't want any part of Rich Rod

Big time Boosters are calling for Petrino

I Just want Kirby Smart

[jjgold]

Cards cant win without a big time QB

They do not get them all the time

Coaching not a big issue
