JMU coach Mike Houston leaving for Charlotte?

[Hammersmith]

I'd think the brakes may have been pumped a hair on the UNCC front. Unless he already signed on the dotted line with Charlotte, I'd guess that he's heading to ECU (assuming he interviews/is offered the job). Their HC made over $1M this year, better conference, etc. Either way, he gone!

Keep an eye on Louisville. If they go with the guy from App St, the Mountaineers might be in play.

They'd have the least to offer as far as salary. UNCC is looking around 900k and ECU is north of a million

ASU paid Satterfield something like 400-500k last year. It would test Houston's claim that he wants to be closer to his parents who probably live in the western part of the state.

Wouldn't be surprised if App St is ready to bump up the salary to at least UNCC levels now that they're established in FBS. Satterfield has been there since the end of the FCS days.

Anyway, just repeating what people who know much more than me are saying.

No matter what happens for the next few days....

And whom ever buys Mike Houston will get all comfy with him and happy that they have him. Fast forward two years and and he still has yet to coach a team that consists of his recruits and boom, HE GONE!

Such a coaching wh@re!

For a team of JMU's stature, this will NOT be a distraction at all

ECU is the better job far. It is in the 6th best football conference, huge stadium, and has the best fan base in the G5 outside of BYU. It's a better job then a lot of P5 schools as well.

what? UCF? Boise? Cincy?

Their stadium may be huge but it it nearly always half empty.

Still doesnt change that AAC is vastly superior to Sunbelt and CUSA. but I'd rather go to App state with a rabid, but smaller fan base, with more competitive success and much more of a national pedigree (at the moment)

Doenst mean that ECU cant be a sleeping giant that is waiting to be awaken by Houston and the most attractive job offer, but lets not pretend that their fan base is nationally relevant

Nope, it isn't. If you are a fan of over exaggerating what the term "a lot" should mean, as in many or majority of the teams. Then you are way off. However some folks will say "a lot" when they are only talking about a few or a handful, which would probably then be true. So when you say "a lot" are you speaking about more than half, or only a handful or less?

name.... idk.. 4 P5 schools that this is better than?

Keep in mind that Kansas, who is widely considered the worst P5 job, just hired Les Miles. I dont think Les Miles would flip his commitment if ECU came calling
