Feldman: FAU shortlist: Cristobal, Shannon, Leavitt

[gogeta4]

Is FAU a better job than FIU?

Yes. Has always been a better program..with facilities, etc

Mario? Isn't he being groomed to take over for saban?

No. He's grooming Saban.

My dyslexia in kicking again.

Add Schiano to the list and they would be BALLIN'

 

[QuattroCane]

I'll never understand why people want to bag on Shannon. He did the best he could, he wasn't a "used car salesman", and he didn't hire himself.
Was he supposed to pass on the job or quit??
He was a stand up guy in over his head, I wish him well.

All of this. He's not capable of being head coach at a big time program but a job like FAU would be a perfect fit for him.

Don't think Bud Foster has ever gotten HC offers?

I've heard more than once that Foster has a serious personality defect. I think that's the reason he's been so content/unable to do anything else .

He's a drunk

He's a drunk

That would be the defect.

 

[BearThatAteDBC]

I don't know why anyone says Leavitt wouldn't take it because it isn't a good enough job. He started USF program from scratch and never had a losing season. Skip Holtz ruined what he started and Taggart is just now repairing it. He would be a great fit.

Norm Chow syndrome

It's perfect actually. All three are second chance hires. Even Petrino took a gig at Western Kentucky before Louisville, post Arkansas. FIU and FAU are opportunists, good for them.

That's a pretty ambitious list for them.
