    I'm sure being shut down for a year made this easy for him. Too bad for ENMU

      It's going to be a long road to recovery after this.

        That's a shame. He did a good job, plus it's a step down for him too. I personally wouldn't want to live in Brownsville, simply because the climate is even worse than Houston.

          You could go after ENMU alumni Mike Nesbitt. He's had some success in Surprise, AZ. That was a surprise to me.

            Its hard to be a football coach without football.

            Its going to be a long year in NM. ENMU will not be able to do anything till the fall.

            I don't think it will be a step down, just a step sideways honestly if it were not for this year he would have stayed at ENMU and only left if he got an offer to a d1 OC or HC job. But with this past year and the inability to hang onto player due to no season, the writting was on the wall.

            I just hope the program can survive this.

                Do you honestly think they would cut the football program?

                  I don't think so. At place like ENMU football is huge for enrollment. I read study one time that said for every football player that attends a school like ENMU he brings 3 other students with him. That is their most successful program and they just built a new stadium. I can't see it being dropped.

                  I do think they need to be careful about who they hire. They need to keep recruiting New Mexico kids and running the triple option. in the last 25 years when they ran the triple they were a solid program. When they didn't it was disastrous.

                    They might not cut the program but they might not increase the funding for it the way they have either.

                      No but it was a tall order to keep the program momentum going after this year and now it's even harder.

                          Couple of points on two very different topics.

                          1) The triple option would definitely be the way to go. Tascosa high school in Amarillo installed the flex bone and it has made a world of difference. Other teams in the district can defend it because they see it but teams in the playoffs especially the Dallas metroplex schools would get smoked because they couldnt stop it and/or have young head coaches that were only brought up coaching/defending pro style offenses. If the coach dedicates themselves to developing athletic big boys on the offensive line it works like a charm. Tascosa puts their best athletes on defense and gets a couple of stops/turnovers a game. Of course problem is if they fall behind a couple of scores it becomes an issue. This even works at the 6A level.

                          2) Working for the federal government you get higher locality and more money working in the Laredo area than you do in the Austin area. Not sure about the Brownsville area but I always thought that was insane.

                              Do the Greyhounds go back to a pass-dominant offense again?
