It's their facilities. Has nothing to do with coaching or recruitment.
I know you meant in jest but honest question. I know UAB has a new performance center, covered practice field, fancy new city stadium. How are the goat's? Do they have an IPF?
They don't yet. They have a weight room in their stadium. It's nice but small. I like their campus near the stadium better than ours and how the bricked up their stadium but other than that, it's basic stuff. Their stadium is a little over half as big as ours. Just saw that they got the IPF ok'd and the state is gonna pay for like 80% of it. Wow.
0-3 since, but hey! Any publicity is good publicity am i right?? 😂
It proves beyond any doubt that it was a "fluke"
As JT mentioned they have approved a new IPF that will be completed early 2024. Otherwise our facilities are similar to theirs. The big difference is they don't sign their coaches to lifetime contracts. They have proven if a coach doesn't perform after a couple of years it's time to move on. During that time they have hired some good up and coming coaches.
For comparison, Memphis would owe Ryan Silverfield roughly $2MM (60% of his remaining 3 years) payable monthly through the end of the contractual agreement in 2025. I like Ryan, he’s been loyal to Memphis as a position coach and great recruiter from 2016-2019 and the players wanted him to get the job when Norvell left for FSU. That said, if he can’t get it done this year then the decision makers will make a change. His wife is a 2nd year Pediatric Resident Physician.
I just looked at the Memphis score. Did the defense miss the flight to NOLA and watching from Wilson Air?
It’s been even more painful to watch it.
Is anybody still buying The Tony Franklin Offensive System Videos/DVDs??😂😂
We do. We still run that crap. Brent Dearmon is the RPO king and wrote his own book.

What's funny is that I thought Liberty was gonna have a down year since Malik left and now they are 7-1. We'll see how they handle Arkansas in 2 weeks. They are a Juggernaut. They had those stands packed yesterday as well. Best addition we could get given the circumstances.
UTEP, LaTech, FAU and FIU could all take us out.
