USC hires UW's Sarkisian

[kalm]

Another reason Beau won't get the UW job is they're not gonna wait around for a month while he finishes some business.

Bobby Hauck was on the brink of being fired earlier this year. While UNLV has not had a winning program in over a decade it would seem like a better shot to win than Wyoming.
Do the schools in the PAC-12 have an advantage over SEC, Big 12, ?? and other major conferences given the TV money or are they just now on par with them?

The Big 12 and SEC both have TV networks. I think the Big 12 may have been the first, and the SEC's starts next season.

Good? Yes. Elite? Hardly, and I'm a UW fan.

Definitely not elite. Hell Oregon isn't elite either why we're on it.
Oregon hasn't accomplished anything in this little run of semi-relevance they've been on, aside from picking up a bunch of bandwagon fans.

I'm no Oregon fan, but I think they're in the discussion. World class facilities and they do a lot of winning...competed for a NC the same year we did. Get a shit-load of money from Phil Knight. They need to figure out how to beat Stanford, but they're generally in the BCS discussion. Not at the level of an Alabama by any means, but then I'm not sure who is right now despite their loss on Saturday.

Does anyone know when Coach B's current contract is up? I really hope we can keep him for the long run but I also know money talks.

Points that matter
The fans want coach Baldwin and staff to be around for a while
The Athletic Director wants coach Baldwin and staff to be around for a while
The University President wants coach Baldwin and staff to be around for a while
but most importantly
Nadine Arevalo wants coach Baldwin and staff to be around for a while!
If any way possible Beau Baldwin and staff will be around through the Gateway project and then some.

If Peterson would leave Boise, than I could see Baldwin going there. But that's about it. I don't see Wyoming as a legit contender and I suspect UW is looking for someone with more name recognition.

Boise Coach to the UW, Baldwin to Boise !! Perfect match and still in the NW !!

 

[talon38]

A somewhat football connected buddy of mine told right after Kiffin was fired that rumors were that Sark would be the USC coach and Doug Nessmeyer(sp), Of Alabama would be the next UW coach. Nessmeyer was QB coach at UW under Sark, and then went to Alabama as Off. coordinater I think.

Funny how Baldwins name is bantered about from Miami-Ohio's message board as a potential replacement...

It will be interesting to see what Peterson does. If he leaves does that mean the cupboard wasn't very full at Boise? How many years does the next coach get? Their expectations are through the roof down there. Would the "suffer" a BSC hire?

As everyone knows a coaches success is a team effort, his team. A decision to pick up and move across the country without his staff is unlikely. A move is probably a joint decision and I would be surprised if the staff Baldwin has put together would want to make such a long range move that puts them totally out of their comfort zone as far as recruiting etc.
It is interesting that Baldwin said he was on the west side at a high school game this weekend at the same time Sark was in the process of resigning from UW.
Coincidence?

Anything's possible, but he was presumably at Camas to watch the two kids they have offers out to there.

I love Coach Baldwin. I also grew up a UW fan and root for the Huskies every game, except when they play EWU. With that said, Baldwin may become the coach at UW...some day, but not now. UW administration, fans, and maybe players would probably all like Baldwin as their coach. BUT, UW boosters will never allow it. Accurate or not, UW boosters believe they are an elite program and would never allow that pristine university to pluck a coach from an FCS program. It may be arrogant, it may be wrong, but it's the truth.

I've said on here before, and i'll say it again. Beau Baldwin is not looking to use EWU as a stepping stone. He loves this university and he has big goals for this program. He may leave some day, but it won't be soon. When the Gateway Project is complete, EWU has 2 more national championships, and there is really no way to get better, that's when Baldwin may consider leaving. He's not a money grabber type guy, he's not a Paul Wulff, he's not selfish. His focus is 100% on this team and their goal of winning a title.

Mostly true, but if Beau left today for a better job it would not in the least be selfish.

Most certainly agree, and that's not how I meant it. I've always said, the only way I'd be happy about Beau leaving, would be to UW (For my selfish reasons, but I'd be happy for Beau and his family even if it were somewhere else where he could be successful).

It would be cool to keep Beau and staff in-state.

This makes a little more sense. It's hard to imagine Baldwin going to some place like Miami of Ohio. His entire recruiting base is in the Pacific Northwest and California, not to mention the personal aspect of uprooting his family to go rebuild a program 3k miles away.

And to be honest, why would he want to leave EWU right now when every aspect of the program is getting better every year? He has the best team in the FCS on the entire west coast and the potential to build a dynasty here. I know money always talks, but if money was the only thing wouldn't he be gone by now? Besides, Baldwin made roughly $139k in 2012 (public records). That's not exactly chump change for the Spokane area.

This program has a ton of momentum right now and a huge upside. My personal opinion is that he, along with the President and AD, have MUCH bigger plans for EWU athletics, and EWU football in particular that will hopefully play out in the next 5-10 years.

Man I hope there are a lot of built in bonuses with that 139K. If I remember correctly there are. I hope that is also pre tax money as well. He deserves more.
