I feel like most conferences though are similar. Top, Middle, bottom teams are going to be fairly even. just like I said before teams like Boise and Northern Illinois are a little more consistant.
Hmmm im already out of MWC stuff to talk about. unless we just go really generic.
Who ya picking for the title game? chances of getting to big bowl? Off and Def Players of the year? type stuff
I have Utah State vs SDSU I dont have the winner in a Big 6. I think the American takes it this year.For the title game I'll say Boise over San Diego State and give Boise somewhere around 50% - 60% odds at another Big 6 game. For offensive player of the year, I'll say Donnel Pumphrey (RB for San Diego State) barely over Rashard Higgins (WR for Colorado State). For defensive player of the year, I'll say Kamalei Correa (DE for Boise) with Darian Thompson (S for Boise), Weston Steelhammer (S for Air Force), and Donte Deayon (DB for Boise) right there to challenge him.
Hot Seat coaches
My take
I have to think Harsin, Wells, Calhoun, Bobo,and Samchez are the safe coaches between success and first year status.
Long should be fairly safe but if they finish in the middle again his seat might be getting warm
Bohl is only in Year to at Wyoming so even another bad year might not yet get his seat warm but I don't know what Wyomings expectaions and tiime tables are.
Polian and DeRuyter probably need more than 7-6 and 6-8 and getting blown out in bowls to hold on much longer
Chow, Davie and Caragher might be looking for new jobs next season.
Yeah I dont actually think a bad year this season from Polian or DeRuyter will mean they are out this year but if its bad this and next then it could be over.I think you're spot on buddy. You nailed it.
It's crazy to think that DeRuyter's seat could be getting warm after just three seasons. He went 9-4 and 11-2 and won or shared conference titles his first two seasons. But last year's 6-8 campaign was not good and he's not exactly burning it up on the recruiting trail either. He could be in trouble, especially if he has another season like last year's.
I wish UNLV could get their football program going in the right direction. Not sure if this would ever happen but I'd like to see them get an on campus stadium rather than playing @ Sam Boyd out in Henderson. I heard some talk of a 40,000 seat multi-sport arena possibly being built a little over a year ago but haven't heard anything about it since.
I'm not sure if it will come to fruition, but the designs for it are straight up sick. How about a 100 yard long video monitor/jumbotron? 100 yards long! Insane.
yeah good luck with their new highschool coach. if a success at FCS coulndt get it done I dont see a HS coach doing it either. MW too tough.I wish UNLV could get their football program going in the right direction.

So something I am really unfamiliar with, are there any up and coming coordinators?

High school coaches havent had the most success when moving up to college. I dont know if I can see more than 2 wins for them again.I think UNLV will be much improved this year under Sanchez. However, they have an absolutely brutal OOC schedule, and may end up with a ton of injuries just from that. I am so hoping they are able to be somewhat relevant in football at some point. Not like a national threat, just be relevant in the damn conference for a change.
