A smart up-and-comer would walk across broken glass to get the Miami job. It won't pay as much as other marquee jobs, and while the Hurricanes have earmarked money to improve their facilities, they still don't have the palaces other major programs do.
...
Another name to consider is Louisville's Charlie Strong. Strong has only coached the Cardinals for a season, but he took them from 4-8 to a bowl eligible 6-6, and they were competitive in every game except a 20-3 loss to Pittsburgh. That may not sound impressive, but Strong inherited a depleted roster. Plus, his name has instant credibility in the Sunshine State because of his work as Florida's defensive coordinator. He also probably would bring defensive coordinator Vance Bedford -- a well-connected recruiter in South Florida -- and assistant Clint Hurtt, a Miami alum who served as the Hurricanes' recruiting coordinator from 2007-09.

Getting more love from major media

posted by BSUFlyboy, Apr 06, 2010

Link cnn.com

Andy Staples seems enthralled with BSU's chances of making the National Championship. But let's keep in mind that he's flip-flopped on his like/dislike of BSU over the last few years. Regardless, it's proving that BSU is slowly winning the belief and support of those that a few short years ago mocked BSU's chances at beating major BCS opponents. My favorite part of the article? But for once, the fact that the BCS is a popularity contest will work in Boise State's favor. Boise State is popular. The Broncos will start next season ranked in the top five of most major polls. Boise State is a brand, and that's half the battle right there.
