Penn state screwed this hiring/firing up pretty good but lucked out in the end. I think he’s a really good coach.

Not sure if it's a better program, but definitely in a better conference with a higher ceiling.

Also, Jason Candle to UConn? As a BG fan, I was hoping he'd stay at UT forever :-D

Nothing like going to a school where your football team is 3rd banana to not only mens basketball but womens basketball as well. And it is not even close.

Fingers crossed that Jacobs doesn't get a job this go around and we get him next year should we have an opening. 4 more spots available.

Coastal Carolina is probably heading toward Clemson
Sothern Miss might promote from within
Wash State is probably not going that direction as there are a ton of successful FCS coaches out that way.

That leaves Toledo. Jacobs is a Maumee native. Fingers crossed he doesn't end up 15 minutes north

Drew Cronic is another really interesting guy but not sure how his offense with translate.

Brian Wright is on the short list as well.

if you could ever get JT Barrett away from the NFL that might be amazing too.

Depends how big of a buyout Jacobs has at Mercer. I'm inclined to believe he'll be staying there given the extension he received last year, WSU would be wise to hire Vigen.
