Very interesting stuff. This could go really well or really poorly but one thing you know is they are going to play fast and be able to get the ball into tight windows quickly if they follow his Arena league pedigree.

Just a hunch, but IMO the longer this plays out the less likely it's Fuente.  We've been eyeballing him for over a year now, and he has likely looked at us.  A decision on Fuente isn't going to need a ton of time at this point.

Could it be he is waiting to see if his buddy Wren makes a move at WVU?

I suppose. He could also just be waiting to see how we hire at AD.

Or if he is the pick… they are negotiating over things such as assistant coach budget etc… let’s hope they give a boost to the budget with us moving into the American next year

Most Head coaches are only as good as the pieces they are able to put around them. I hope whoever the HC is they leave enough in the budget to get the level of support staffing we need to compete at the top of the American.

I agree, and I think that is and could be a huge sticking point. With that being said, JayD did say some solid additions at OC/DC maybe coming as well or rumored… I hope the names are solid enough that it’s forcing the university to open up its budget a bit more to put a top of the line staff on the field

I can tell you many of the people i know who played there aren’t gonna be happy about the hire. But I mean its kind of unique and outside the box. Plus the guy is from Texas and should know where to recruit but will need to put together a good staff to help him early on atleast

WVU already extended their head call coach.

So Wren is going to a school where the fanbase might want a HC change even more than the fanbase here did.

Of note: Wren is going to a place that just secured their HC. WVU admins did not wait for their next AD to make the call.

Or, now stay with me here, it could just be the process playing out in normal speed without any regard to people reading a message board.
