And Mississippi St to Miami.

I know it is fun to crap on Miami, but Miami is a good gig. Mississippi State is a decidedly low tier SEC school--probably in the worst position in its division.

[Eddie Teach]

That makes it a more challenging position, not an inferior one.

Being in Starkville as opposed to Miami makes it an inferior position.

You could say the same about Tuscaloosa.

Miami has won 5 national titles since 1980 and a bunch of big games. Recent performance notwithstanding, Miami should be competing to win the ACC much more often than Mississippi State competing to win the SEC.

[Eddie Teach]

SEC schools have unreasonable expectations, so they all expect their coaches to be competing to win the SEC every year. Past titles notwithstanding, I doubt there will be any more pressure put on him at Miami than Mississippi St.

How does that get back to Mississippi State not being an inferior position?

[Eddie Teach]

He's no longer got Alabama, LSU and Auburn every year? By some metrics, this is a step down. It may be a more pleasant job, but it's also easier.

I don't think playing a bunch of elite programs in a second tier program with a fanbase with unrealistic expectations makes the job a better one.

Also, trust me on this, expectations at Miami are not lower than at Mississippi State--they are much higher. There may be empty stadiums, but the fanbase is very quick to turn on coaches. Including the NFL alumni. The fanbase--I think realistically--expects to get back to competing for national titles.

Larry Coker resigned as head coach of UTSA.  Overall, he went 26-32 with a conference record of 15-15.

You could indeed. I have no idea why kids want to go there.

So a new Head Coach will lead UTSA against the might Aggies next season 

I hope they realize they are carrying the honor of the UT system on their shoulders.

RichRod fired Casteel.

Going to some games would be a good start. Recruiting is harder when the seats are empty.

There's a lot of talk among the Michigan fanbase that next year is the NC year.  Harbaugh belief is hard to resist. I'm getting psyched myself.  It's definitely possible.
