Re: JMU Inks Mike Houston to a 10 Year Extension
It is interesting to watch this play out having lived through this exact same situation a number of years ago ourselves. Makes me feel kind of reminiscent reading all the complaints about timing and level of school he's going to.
For all of our complaints about the way Bohl left, it appears Houston is managing to do an even worse job of it so far. His statement refusing to confirm he's leaving is really bad. Almost certain that he's gone. Now that the cat is out of the bag, just admit it and move forward however that will be either coaching through playoffs or not. The longer he leaves the "will he or won't he" floating around the worse it is for everybody.
Re: JMU Inks Mike Houston to a 10 Year Extension
JMU fans haven't gotten to the point yet of realizing Houston is likely taking the majority of his coaching staff with him along with possibly a chunk of their current recruiting class. Does anyone know if Houston's contract contains any provisions like Bohl's had prohibiting him from contacting recruits who had previously verbally committed? They have to deal with the early signing period which makes this concern worse than when Bohl left.

I take it that he hasn't denied it either. If so more likely than not he has confirmed it.

I bet this was going to be announced after the Colgate game.

This is a perfect built in excuse for when the lose this weekend. Which sucks. I wanted them to lose and have no excuses for why they dropped off a bit this year. Now they can always claim they only lost because of coaching turmoil.

I’ll never forget that weekend. Surfed my phone all through church and my wife gave me a ton of shit about it. Have to say, though, I like CK better as a coach. So chin up JMU fans!!

If this had not happened and they lost they would come up with some other reason.
Re: JMU Inks Mike Houston to a 10 Year Extension
Just reading their comments you can tell they don't understand it's not isolated to just Houston, it's the entire staff that's likely going with him. Patiently waiting for that second tidal wave to wash over them.
