I'd think Campbell would be the 2nd choice (from that list) after Narduzzi. Shocked EMU coach was on the list, but a number of MSU assistants were also. MSU has had so much bad publicity the last 4 or 5 years that I think they go with a known commodity in Narduzzi. Thanks for the link! The Marshall coach should be on that list. Even though they lost to NC State today, they had another good showing. If the Marshall coach gets a big job, I wonder who would want to go and coach in WV? Clemson to Huntington is only 362 miles. Rich Rod is already paid $245,000 more than Coach Huff at Clemson, and that will likely rise after this season.

What does Clemson have to do with Marshall or Coach Huff or Rich Rod?

Does Rich Rod make 800 or 1 million? Seen reports of both.

It feels like that is what the thread is directed at.

With incentives, he is now over $1M and I expect he will be offered another extension and base increase this year. I expect he will be at somewhere around 1.25 going into next season. A big-time FBS program can hire him away no matter what we pay him, but I would be surprised to see him bolt for a Mac/Sunbelt level program. That would be a lateral move with few exceptions.

troy state coach should be high on some list. Young and has won at a place that is undesirable.

Look at your profile pic. I'm sure he's ready to be a head coach again. Never said anything pertaining to him. You asked who would want to coach in West Virginia. If you are talking about Marshall, Grass would be the answer. If WVU comes after HCRR, we will lose him. I would be surprised to see him connected to the Marshall job. They pay less than we do and their undergrad enrollment is (marginally) less than ours. They have more grad students, but not dramatically so. Going to Marshall would be a lateral or marginal move up, and would lock him in into another location for some years... I could see us losing him to a P5 team, but moving to a G5 doesn't make sense at his age... and Huntington isn't hom - Morgantown is, and it is over 200 miles away.

Just to be clear, I wasn't referring to Coach Grass. Just for sake of discussion, if CRR wanted to finish his career near home what might become available that's within a 5 hour drive? #1 WV absolutely. But at THIS POINT, Neal Brown has really helped his job status. #2 Pitt--possible Narduzzi goes to Mich State. 90 minute drive. #3 Virginia--Hopefully Tony Elliott gets them going. 4.5 hour drive. #4 Maryland--Locksley has done a good job and might be offered a better P2 job. 4 hour drive. #5 Kentucky--Stoops is from northern Ohio and he knows it is a long shot to ever win the SEC. UK is a very stable job for him, but if he wants to win big, Michigan State might be worth a look. 5 hour drive. #6 Penn State-- Franklin does OK and he has been mentioned in the past at openings. 3.5 hour drive. #7 Virginia Tech--Don't think they would give up on Pry after 2 years. NEVERKNOW. 4 hour drive. #8 Ohio State-- If Ryan Day loses to Michigan again,......very long shot. 3.5 hour drive. #9 Marshall--If Huff wins the Sun Belt, he will be in demand. CRR would really have to want to go back to WV and they would probably match JSU's salary & bonus'. 3 hour drive. Did I leave anyone out? If he doesn't care where he lives he might be interested in say: Indiana, Ole Miss, Duke

I don’t think anyone believes CRR has no options as far as that goes does anyone want a coach with no options? We have him till he’s gone then we’ll shop around, Till then enjoy the ride.

Just for sake of discussion, if CRR wanted to finish his career near home what might become available that's within a 5 hour drive You weren't referring to coach Grass, but asked the question about who would want to coach at Marshall. He is a much more serious candidate than HCRR. I have no doubt that RR will likely leave us for a p5 school and stated such... But I doubt seriously he would make a lateral or even slightly upward move at this point in his career. If he wants p5 he will wait for one to come calling. Marshall may match our salary offer, but will they pay a 7 figure buyout? I have no idea. I don't seen another CBC move by a coach in our future. We aren't in the OVC and paying $275k anymore. Our game with South Carolina is paying us 1.5M, and the media deal is in USD instead of monopoly money like in the OVC. While we won't win any bidding wars against P5 schools, we are and can continue to be competitive with g5 salaries. Everything I have heard is in agreement that he really likes it at Jacksonville. I doubt another g5 job would be attractive enough to lure him away. The only way we lose RR to Marshall is if he really wants to live in West Virginia and has no plans to take a P5 job ever again.

Marshall isnt a step up. According to ADs in each conference, CUSA has a better paying media deal and coaches leave SBC for CUSA not the other way. ie Jamie Caldwell.

He left for a better situation which happens to be in CUSA.
CRR wont leave JSU to go to the SEC he will go for a better situation which happens to be in the SEC.
Better situations exist in better conferences.
