JMU coach Mike Houston leaving for Charlotte?

Is he taking the streamers with him?

I heard ECU's new helmets would have streamers on them.

Just waters down the FCS even more. Too bad he couldn't stay, build them into something great, and give NDSU fans a hopeful "game" every year in the championship.

Really strong FCS program just got worse? Boring.

To be determined.

To be determined.

Also really strong team =/= really strong program. At this point they are about like Montana, 2000.

Not sure he's ever "built" anything. He has mostly won with other peoples recruits and transfers. Take a look at the programs he's left record wise and it's not good. Not sure his style is sustainable long term. Fire and brimstone pregame speeches only work so long.

This seems to be the quickest way to get a decent FBS job (not considering ECU or Charlotte a decent anything) by getting a coaching gig at some good school that is already loaded with talent and win for two years and then take off for the next two year stint.

I can't find my ouija board I'll have to see what TAB's Magic 8 Ball says.

Was Gameday at JMU the year before Houston got there? When they had Vad Lee?

Reports that Charlotte is going to interview Will Healy (Austin-Peay's coach) and Eddie Gran (Kentucky Assistant) for their head job. Side note: A lot of JMU fans were hoping they would interview Healy if Houston leaves.

Houston had to use this offer as leverage for the East Carolina job, or Appalachian St. job (if Scott Satterfield takes the Louisville job).

Either way theirs a lot of turmoil and rumors surrounding is name, hard for for me to believe he will be JMUs coach much longer.

Yes, that was in 2015. And they were also there again last year.

I remember shaking my head watching that first time they were there in 2015 and their old coach Everett Whithers brought their entire team down to the set during his live interview and then made a big show out of revealing the new helmets they'd be wearing for the game that day (with kickoff literally just a few hours away). The players acted like a bunch of pre-teen girls at a Justin Bieber concert when they saw the helmet and all there was to it was a white helmet with a purple strip and purple "M" on the side. I just thought myself I'm glad Bohl or Klieman didn't try a stunt like that when Gameday was in Fargo.

Oddly enough they lost at home that day they hosted Gameday in 2015 to their arch-rival Richmond.

They're really into their uniform choices. Makes us seem boring.
