This is not a shot at Al by any means and just an observation. This time last year we were all holding our breathe hoping he would stay. This year his name hasn't come up once. Poster above brought up a good point that many jobs he was never in contention for. Just figured USC or Texas would have his name in the mix especially with him winning the Lombardi award.
well....USC filler their position last week, Award was this week, Texas has no opening?
Nice troll job really
The award didn't need to be announced for him to considered for USC since he clearly is very well respected among his peers. There are a lot of schools that held on to their mediocre coaches this year where last year they got rid of them. There haven't been as many jobs open as last year that would make sense for him to leave us. However 2 of the "greatest jobs in college football" opened up (USC)/will open us shortly (Texas) and we haven't heard his name for those.
Both schools he was never in Play...Texas is going to hire ( if position even comes open) a 100mil guy...Al is not that guy...
Al was looked at by schools needing overhauls...Penn St, Tennessee and Wisky ( not as much overhaul)......Texas is not that bad and USC is close Haden just listened to the Fans instead of making a rash decision 4 years ago when Pete left...
So Al is not an Elite Coach...we all know that, but at 44 he is looked at as a good coach, and staring at 10 wins and a Bowl win..something this school has not had in years..
