    That's a solid hire if so. Could definitely do worse IMO, what do you think?

    Oh, and is the Buckley talk more wishful thinking by State fans, or is that a realistic and even "likely" Safeties hire?

    Don't know about who usf had back from last year, but points were down around 5 per game. Sacks, tfl, and ints were way up

    Seems like a good fit if true. Has been with Freeze at multiple stops. If you can't beat 'em...

    If switchblade kincade is the highest recruit you have ever signed you are not being hired to recruit.

    Hell of a coach, not much of a recruiter.

    What was told the last few years was Allen was heavily involved in UNM defensive play calling. Did a really good job at USF. Very good hire if true. UNM went from #1 to bottom half of the league this. Turned down Auburn job supposedly. I posted before the season that I thought UNM defense would go down this year without him.

    I hope Buckley is a real possibility. He's already recruiting Simmons and knott

    Would be a good hire, about a tenth as good as Nate Woody.

    Why? Several coaches turned down Auburn including Manny.

    Coaches are scared of Auburn and view 2016 as the last one for the Gus Bus

    Just seems if he was itching to get in the sec, he'd have jumped on auburn. Would he want to come to his coaching buddy's (freeze) rival? I hope so

    Supposedly several have turned Auburn, including Diaz twice. They were on the edge of a complete disaster with DC hire.

    I like Woody as well and if gets an opportunity could be pretty good but don't be ridiculous. Allen is every bit as good.

    meh- if we gonna disappointed about someone- I'd say Mel Tucker. He could have been a really good choice. Looks like he may be headed to Georgia
