Andersen's move makes sense to me.Have some friends there and they said a huge part was Alavarez refusing to increase assistant pay to a competitive level. Also looks like Alvarez is going to once again coach the bowl game and pay himself another $100k+ in the process.
BuryYourDuke wrote:Is that the name Cowherd keeps saying is out there?Not sure. I believe he felt really confident that Michigan would have hired Cowherd's guy by last weekend. He hasn't mentioned anything about it recently, except a Bill Belichik joke. I suspect that means the deal fell through or he was just trolling Michigan fans.

VAGolf wrote:It should also be noted that VMI is slightly different than Air Force, Army, Navy...etc. At VMI, even though you have to participate in ROTC, you are not tied to the military upon graduation.Another difference I believe between VMI, the Citadel and the US service academies is that cadets and midshipmen at the service academies are paid a monthly salary for attending.

ALUmnus wrote:Also, I read that coaches are saying that Joe Moglia at Coastal would be a great hire at UM. I guess that would be a little like OSU hiring Tressel?Nope. Not even close.
