Coaching rumors

[MLEagle]

I just find it hard to believe that he would leave to go to Montana. I agree that there is a very real possibility that we will lose Beau at some point, probably in the near future but not to the Grizzlies.

Administration needs to step up to the table and increase his salary and that of the assistants, stat. :nod:

 

[sammamisheag]

Have a real hard time seeing Beau go to another FCS program especially within the conference. Having said that if he's trying to get the admin to increase his staff's salary as well as his not a bad idea to put feelers out to your main rival.

I've also thought it would be a matter of time before he leaves, always thought it would be to a FCS school.

Absolutely all salaries should be increased. If you ask our athletes who had a greater impact on their adult lifes, their coach or some of the profs. I would bet the answer is the coaches hands down.

Baldwin is not going to Montana! Stop wasting your time stressing about it.

Now when McElain goes to Florida/Neb/Mich we should be worried about CSU coming to get him or the possibility of Mac taking Baldwin to be his OC.

My heart is telling me that Beau wont leave with Adams and Kupp coming back but my head is saying there is going to be a good opportunity this off-season for him to get a bigger job and he has to do what is best for him and his family.

My gut right now says he is either the HC at either EWU or CSU next year.

I'm told he interviewed for the job a week ago. He's also rumored to be at the top of the Montana AD's list. Coincidence?

He as in McElwain or Baldwin and interviewed for which job?

Do you think where his asst's fit makes a difference to Beau?

It's a pure leverage game. Did the same thing with Weber in 2011. We all know Beau is underpaid and his staff is grossly underpaid. When he can be the top candidate to go to another program it provides incentive for EWU to give him and his staff new contracts. The Ole Miss coach just did the same thing with Florida.

 

[DPEagle83]

What can Beau accomplish at UM that he hasn't at EWU. Especially if there is a 2nd NC this year (fingers crossed). He has to take the call from their AD, who is doing his due diligence. I would think the job is Dickenson's to turn down, but he may be in line for Stampeders HC.

Don't know how much of Beau's current staff he would take...Best looks to be a possible HC candidate but if not i'm sure he join Beau with most of the offensive staff but I'm sure no school is going to sign off on him bringing Graham as his DC. That would lead to a new defensive staff.

The current rumor at Florida is the current D staff will be retained so CSU D coaches would be available to stay on...

No bueno.

 

[luckyintheorder]

Bill Clark, former Jax St, former UAB coach. This guy gets it done and just got the royal screw put to him at UAB after one season. Thought last year he should have stuck at Jax St... There will be places in the South where he may land, but it would add an interesting flavor to the BSC to have a "southern type" coach. His style is a good fit for Montana's players.

Who do you think would be the man for our HC position if Coach Beau jets? Is there a clear cut candidate on the current staff or do you think we would have to go external to the program? This is assuming he wouldn't take his entire staff with him.

So, that Beau Baldwin to Montana talk? He says Eastern is "The only FCS school where I'll coach." @700espn @EWUAthletics #goeags

well that puts that to bed. I think if he's going anywhere it will be Colorado State. he's got to be very high on their list. Im sure McElwain would have some influence there.

 

[EWURanger]

The next thing they'll be saying is that they didn't want him anyway, similar to when they lose a recruit to another school. The most recent thing is that Baldwin wouldn't be able to recruit to their supposedly high academic standards because Eastern has recruited some Prop 48's and "low academic qualifiers" (cites Taiwan Jones, TJ Lee, Rodney Stuckey). I suppose they think guys like Trumaine Johnson, Jimmy Lake, and CJ Atkins were rocket scientists.

I think that Jim Allen article from last season stated there were only 3 or 4 Prop 48's in all of Eastern's athletic programs. The funny thing about Egriz is that people just parrot what other people say on there. This has been a myth for years running, but I was actually shocked that one of their posters gets it.

I was one of those Griz fans who parroted the rumor that Eastern athletics benefited from lower admission standards until a former UM athletic director informed me that the standards really weren't all that different. Really, the only significant difference are the stated minimum scores for the ACT or SAT, students choice.
EWU uses the scores for placement and doesn't have a minimum. Montana universities require a minimum composite ACT of 22, which would give UM better than average students were it not for the long list of exceptions to the standard.
UM will also take a combined 1540 SAT, which is barely better than the average for all test takers first and second try.
If a student can't get a 1540, he can still be admitted with a 2.5 high school gpa and the right courses.
If the high school gpa of 2.5 is too tough, a student can still get in if they rank in the top half of their graduating class. The top half! That pretty much opens to the door to everyone with a pulse and suddenly UM and EWU really aren't that different. The NCAA rules for would-be student athletes are, of course, the same at both schools.

The real question about prop 48 students should be if whether they're graduating and not only that but whether they graduate in four years. If they don't graduate in four years, then they only get to play for three. EWU has done fairly well at keeping their prop 48 athletes on the four-year graduation track.

Are there DJ Martins? Sure. But Montana has taken some big gambles, also. CJ Atkins was such a bad student that after being recruited by Pflu at WSU and enrolling in the spring, he was ineligible by the time fall practice started. He literally had to re-enroll in high school to qualify for admission at College of the Canyons, after which Pflu recruited CJ a second time. If Atkins wasn't a "lower qualifier" then who is?

 

[jimboh]

this is all so silly ... it's a repeat of weber state. hopefully beau and staff get a raise, and if a 'real' job (sorry montana but you're small-time just like us) comes up like colorado state or an o.c. job at a pac-12 school, he'll jump at it... as he should...

 

[jimboh]

imagine how destroyed griz fans would be if we could announce that the gateway was a go right before kickoff, then we roll them by three tds?
