      Interesting.

      I didn't care much for Vincent and I'm glad he didn't get the job. He was an ass. He coached Spanish Fort High prior to going to S. Alabama as O coordinator and then on to UAB.

      Of course being an ass doesn't preclude a person from being a good football coach. He certainly got results at the high school level

          • The thing with Trent he has no real coaching experience. It’s a real gamble.

                Of course it is UAB... It's not quite the same as Notre Dame hiring Jerry Faust, although Faust had a better resume

                • Well, in fairness, UAB is a D1 team that has been to a few bowls recently. The safer play would be to get a good coordinator from a P5 school or a successful head coach with a lot of experience from some FCS school.

                    I think one thing that the Group of 5 teams try to find is a coach that will be committed to that program and is a good coach. It is easier said than done, however as these, for most coaches, are not destination jobs. They are stepping stones to getting a job in a better conference. You can't blame the coaches for that, but it makes it tough for lesser teams to build a program and sustain it.

                    An example of this is App State. They are on their third coach in the past 5 years. They lost Satterfield to Louisville, had Drinkwitz for one year before he moved on to Missouri and now have Shawn Clark. Clark is an App alum and it is his dream job. If he had his choice, he would probably stay there for the rest of his life, but... he is a step down from the last two coaches. They have stability, but not the quality that they had. Their record over the last couple of years reflects this. This is the first year since moving for FCS to FBS that they are not bowl eligible.

                                That’s awkward -if not completely wrong- syntax.

                                F-. Revise and resubmit.
