I wish I could change my vote from Cooper to McKay. The more I think about it, the more I tend to believe he would be the best fit.
I think you really want someone who WANTS to come here and coach...as opposed to someone who would just use this as a couple of years.
I just get the feeling from what I'm reading that Cooper didn't seem to be overly excited about the LU job. I'm guessing that McKay came and wants the job. I think you work harder when you want it.
As far as NM, if you look, they do play some pretty good competition, and McKay has some nice wins. I think the situation with the recruiting one year was due to pressure to win at all costs. Sometimes we make mistakes...I tend to think he has learned his lesson. I think he can win at LU, and he appears to be an outspoken Christian, which would also make him a great fit, for a house with a pool.
As far as Cooper...he is an assistant at Auborn. Remember back in the day, when Hankinson came, he was an assistant at WVU, when WVU was getting good. We don't know how well Cooper will transition. McKay has already won as the head guy.
That's just my new thinking...I'll be behind either JB chooses. I WISH THEY WOULD MAKE THE ANNOUCEMENT, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, SOON.
