That was a bad hire from Day 1. He is a bad coach and a turd. Granger saved him for a bit but he never showed he could recruit much or win much. New Mexico, I am sure, did it now so that they could begin to talk with coaches in the business and try and get someone locked up before other schools come calling.

Not counting BYU (simply because BYU has a small pool of coaches to pick from)...I would say that New Mexico is the third or fourth most appealing job in the conference (behind Utah/UNLV and close to even with SDSU simply because they have a better history and more support than SDSU). Get a jump and get someone you want...we'll see what happens.

Uh oh. If they play their cards right they can return to some semblance of their former status. This was long overdue. Why they hired him in the first place is beyond me.

I can't believe New Mexico hired him in the first place. He is horrible. He was bad at Oregon State and he left that job for NM. I was at oregon state at the time and couldn't believe that anyone would try and hire him away, he was plain bad. Oh well, for some reason I have an animosity towards UNM so I was glad to see him end up there. Of course the coach at OSU sucks now too. Ralph Miller where are you?

I really hope that New Mexico doesn't make a run at Majerus.

MikeWaters · 02-22-2007, 09:59 PM

I didn't know that Majerus wanted back in coaching.

He can now prepare for his true calling - to be a contestant on "So, you think you can dance".
