    I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that his statement after practice the other night that "I've been offered a job and that is all" was a complete line of bullshit!! Colleges don't offer jobs without contract negotiations. This is all going to end badly for JMU no matter how this works out. He set JMU and himself back years in recruiting no matter where he ends up.

    Dude,

    Houston said he is honest and up front in his dealings. It is Charlotte who should be ashamed of themselves. They should send Coach a $750k check as reparation.

    I'm not shocked at all. He has a great job and like Klieman, will get a lifetime contract. He is holding out for a better situation. Charlotte may pay more short term but the odds of getting fired go way way up. Hes making a half million right now. Hold out for triple or quadruple so if you get fired, you can retire

    at this point, he has to take whatever is in front of him now, be it ECU or App. No way he could go back to JMU and do any sort of meaningful recruiting.


    I think it just became a buyers market.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Houston might have just “built” his own coffin. Can not stay at JMU anymore and save face and other schools might punt on him. Dead Man Coaching

    Would you trust him to negotiate honestly?
    I sure wouldn’t. Jmu needs to remember he doesn’t care about his contract (although they would get buyout).
    He said the team is focused. Sure, will he, won’t he makes it easy.
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    If the time comes this would make a great sign.

    Does anyone know for sure if this whole thing was released, or was it leaked?
    If it was leaked, then I see no problem with how things are going down. Info is getting out before it was suppose to in that case. And negotiations for contracts and which school he goes to had not yet been finalized.
    If this was released but made to look like a leak, then it is a whole different ball game. Trying to play schools against each other, and now one has backed out completely. Thus leaving him potentially with less bargaining power. And, making JMU look like chumps. Even if things did fall through, and he stayed with JMU, he will lose all credibility with his returning players.
    The whole thing seems like a mess, but I hold final judgement until further or more accurate facts come to light.
    From the movie THE PROGRAM

    Regent Chairman: This is not a football vocational school. It's an institute for higher learning.
    Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ass?

    Wow! Just Wow! It appears greed trumps morals, loyalty, character, ethics and common sense. Who knew?

    You have a safe and secure 10 year contact to build the team of a life time and for a few dollars more you screw everything up.

    Exactly, it's gonna be one of those things where everything seems fine until adversity hits. Then we will see how his kids respond to his message knowing what they know.
