I don't understand what you're upset about, skunk. Look at the resume of the coach that got the job over you. Yes, what you have done at D3 is quite an accomplishment, but dwoelflin was one of the better coaches in D2 knight before taking UAB, went NT in his first year, and then PI'd with a crew of underclassmen this year. If you were applying for an elite D2 job, then yes, you'd have a beef. Even if it was a step backwards, you weren't going to get it either way.
Nobody goes from Division 3 to Big 6 job in real life, at least in the past 50 years or so. Longshot is just that, a longshot.
What was the message that the AD sent you? "Need more ____", or "went with someone else" ?
at the time of my rant dwoelflin was not named the hawaii coach. but that brings up more issues. how was he named the coach when my news feature showed nobody being named the hawaii coach? wouldn't he not land that job at the five pm mark, but he was installed as the new hawaii coach in between the 2pm and 5pm session. are coaches named at each three hour interval? right? just seems odd. not to mention leaving uab to go to hawaii is a sideways move at best.
and with all that out of the way i think my resume is better.
+1 . . not sure how he got the Hawaii job either. I had my eye on that job and was trying to decide whether I wanted it or not.
Then, all of a sudden, the job was filled.
Both you and dwoelfin have a better resume than I do, but still. I thought it was odd when I saw it was filled. And UAB was open before Hawaii was filled. I'm almost certain
