I also wouldn't leave App State for Carolina but that's me.

Re: Coaches On the move!?
Houston is a grand slam hire for Charlotte. I did not think they would be able to attract a proven head coach of his quality. Living in Charlotte and following the program closely, I'm really excited for them. He will make a huge difference and probably get them into bowl games in a year or two. I think he probably could have made a bigger jump at some point, but as long as he continues to excel, opportunities will always be there. Besides, as much as we focus on winning and money, they are not the only reasons to take a job.
Houston, a North Carolina native, played and coached football in his home state. Previous coaching gigs at Lenoir-Rhyne kept him close to home, and he never strayed too far from North Carolina, coaching in South Carolina and Virginia. Charlotte's proximity to home played a key role in his interest in the position.
"It is two-and-a-half hours from my parents and my family," Houston said. "And there's personal reasons as to why that's important to me."

Re: Coaches On the move!?
Great move by Houston taking the Charlotte job. Its in a great recruiting area and he's a proven winner wherever he goes. A coach at the old I-AA level, has to make the move while he's a hot name. If JMU wins 6-8 games over the next several years, he's not going to be a hot name coming from the I-AA level. So good move and believe good success will follow. If he has success, then a major college job will be waiting for him....

Hours after the Pirates fired Scottie Montgomery on Thursday, James Madison head coach Mike Houston emerged as a top candidate to replace him, according to multiple reports. Houston, who's compiled a 37-5 record in his three seasons at James Madison, came out earlier this week and admitted publicly he'd been offered the head coaching job at Charlotte.
Reports initially indicated Charlotte and Houston had reached an agreement to make him the next head coach of the 49ers, but nothing was ever finalized. That led to Friday's big announcement from Charlotte athletics director Mike Hill, who released a statement that Houston's offer from the university had been rescinded.
