    New Mexico State HC Doug Martin let go today

    This one concerns me for a possible Arnett move. He's from New Mexico and went to New Mexico.

    Just something to watch to see if it unfolds. I don't have intel that it will, but would be interested to know if there's been any possible word about a return to his home state.

    Normally I would agree. But they are moving to CUSA and they have shown they can compete in basketball and baseball. They are investing in athletics and making a move to a better conference with more recognition (no one cares about the WAC).

    I think it's a more attractive job now with the move.

    Dead state for football players. Yes it’s a grave yard. If he goes good for him becoming HC but I hope he stays.

    I believe so too. Just lost to many teams to be even semi relevant anymore. And if even usm leaves you how good can the conference really be.

    I agree if he goes I'll hope he does well but I believe he can do better but home can be a big draw sometimes

    Like I said, it’s not a good State nor program for football. Actually I would be surprised. La Tech or Troy has a better football program.

    They couldn't afford his buyout or pay him half of what he's making now.
