Weird. Head coach at 8-4 Nevada to Head coach at 3-9 CSU? Why?

He's one of the lowest paid D1 Head coaches:

Weird. Head coach at 8-4 Nevada to Head coach at 3-9 CSU? Why?

He’s one of the lowest paid coaches in FBS and last in the MWC. Hard to believe but CSU could almost triple his salary. I can’t believe he’s still there to be honest.

 

[Darth Snow]

Crazy how you can hire a young OC from a g5 before the end of the recruiting period

Would be a very good hire for CSU. My first thought was that this was to get Norvell a raise at Nevada. But I really doubt they could come anywhere close to what CSU can pay. If he wants to leave, I’m sure he will

I thought he would be in the pac 12 soon so seems like a weird time to move and reset.

The Mountain West just seems like a great fit for a guy who can throw a football over them mountains.

Norvell when he gets to Ft Collins: “Where’s the Buffalo?”

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

So basically CSU just hired the last guy that kicked their ass.

Works for me. When does Whittingham get announced as our new HC?

I think he is taking an offer in hand right now over a chance. He is 59 years old and I wouldn’t say he is the “sexy” hire most AD’s are looking for

[J.R. Ewing]

He did well at Nevada, but not that well. He's still a lot better than what CSU had.

florida to build an "army" of support around new hc to compete with uga and alabama.

Staples: New Gators coach Billy Napier has plans to build an army, and AD Scott Stricklin evidently plans to pay for it

Unlike his predecessors, Napier had no trouble convincing UF brass that a massive infrastructure is the cost of doing business in the SEC.

that's how you do it.

Norvell coached Nevada teams have finished 2nd (2x), 3rd (2x) and 4th out of 7 schools in their MWC division. BSU isn't in that division either. And yet this is probably the best hire I could see CSU possibly make.

 

[Big Jim]

Careful. Midget jokes are bad luck.

Nevada is a tough job though. Seems like he did a good job.

Utah is clearly a lot better, but hard to win with your HC and OC having one foot out the door.

 

[Agent Dave Kujan]

Oregon search is going to be interesting. I have no idea how that is going to go.

Utah is clearly a lot better, but hard to win with your HC and OC having one foot out the door.

Utah seems to improve through the year every year but they always drop several games that a good/great team shouldn’t. I find it interesting that some people around here (not you) rip Cristobal for dropping games but slobber all over Wittingham

 

[Big Jim]

UO will take steps back in recruiting, probably bit steps back. They also have a chance to take big steps forward in coaching.

 

[Big Jim]

USC stands to be the biggest winner with Cristobal leaving UO. Virtually no Pac-12 program to recruit against the Trojans now.

I bet Oregon goes with an offensive guy in this hire

I think that has to play a role in Cristobal leaving. He’s recruited better than any Oregon coach and they still got dominated by Utah.

The name that's popping up a bit that would scare me most for Oregon is Jeff Halfley. That dude can coach and recruit
