MrTitleist said:I don't think he's that great of a coach, I think he's been very fortunate to have some good players come into his program the last three years. The Bearkats are not a tough football team, and can't handle being punched in the mouth. Even with a good QB and RB this year they still lost 4 games and barely snuck into the playoffs.. watch what happens when Bell and Flanders leave.
KansasPoke said:But you can't compare the RMAC to the MIAA though. Just ask Fort Hays State University... The MIAA is like SEC of D-II football as the RMAC would be like the ACC. FHSU's teams now are like middle of the pack MIAA but would easily be at the top of the RMAC.

KATatonic said:I understand the hesitation to Fritz. But you don't get to two national championships in any division if you aren't tough. His teams are tough, North Dakota State is just better. I would argue NDSU would out-tough the Cowboys. Fritz inherited a crappy team from a crappy coach and turned them around in short order. I am not saying he is a guarantee to succeed in Laramie, but you could do worse. And Sam Houston State fans love this guy. Nobody wants to lose him...that should tell you something. I don't want to lose him as our coach, but you have to honest with yourself, you aren't going to get Tedford, Tressel, or any other big name to come to Laramie.

BeaverPoke said:I'd say Tressel is a VERY BIG name. But, with the problems that he will bring to the new school, it's less appealing.

So did Chip Kelly, Les Miles, and Pete Carroll.

I don't consider him a big name, or VERY BIG name - as he is not eligible to be hired, why even mention him I guess. He is like the Tooth Fairy / Easter Bunny of Football Coaches.
