Over $100k a year salary increase is a bit of an upgrade.

Short term yes, not as much if you only last a few years.

It doesn't seem like PVAM is much of an upgrade, if any, over Valdosta State. They do have a nice $60mm stadium though.

Here's their schedule from last year. Being blown out by Incarnate Word is not impressive. However they did get by Commerce.

Yeah but it's DEE-ONE!

During the game, I believe I heard an announcer mention that Jackson hired 11 coaches and brought in 60 transfers.

Literally right after the championship game it was reported Jackson was taking the Prairie View A&M job.

Makes you wonder if the kids knew or if the story was leaked and caused a distraction?

I see that Tremaine Jackson has been chosen D2 COTY. Didn't McB pass over him to choose Hughes?

Maybe WT could money whip Pueblo DC into coming. Sure looks like a huge boost to the defense and to recruiting

Hughes had better defenses, you should give him another shot.

It would be good to keep the Texas players in Texas.

Bye.

This, WT isn't going to miss much with him leaving. Take a couple others with him

WT defensive coordinator Levi Gallas had accepted the head coaching job at Adams State, his alma mater:

Was it a bad look for Central Washington when their starting running back went to WT this year?

Looks like both Gibson and Henderson wanted to be closer to home probably for different reasons.

This may be harsh but so be it. Gibson was a good QB but not great,

With over 5,000 players (last time I checked or gave a damn) in the portal, WT can most certainly find a couple of QB's that are better than Gibson.

Also, for Gibson, the PB OC went to the same high school too.

And he signed to play at UTPB last week. Not a good look.

Most of the Oklahoma D2 schools are in the GAC and happy to be there. It's a conference where everyone agrees to fewer scholarships than D2 allows. I don't see any joining UCO in the MIAA.

I don't see WT doing anything but the LSC unless the conference no longer has sufficient football-playing schools to have an automatic playoff qualifier.

Agree with this statement.

Ask Northeastern State how it went going the MIAA route with fewer scholarships and the Oklahoma GAC teams already knew that.

I think the MIAA would be the "best" option as far as competition but the "worst" option as far as travel.

As weak as WT has been reduced to in football, the RMAC and GAC would make more sense if the LSC ever folded up their tent.
