We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

ECU extended his contract through 2017. Says new contract doubles his base to $400K. If I recall Satterfield base is $250K so I guess that is not off base for a new coach at FBS level. McNeill is 19-19 through three seasons at ECU.

Re: Ruffin McNeill
I'm happy for Ruff, but also surprised. The ECU folks I talk to share the same sentiment. They like him as a person, but haven't seen enough success yet to warrant an extension going into the last year of his original contract. But, again...kudos to Ruff.

Re: Ruffin McNeill
ECU fans I talk to don't like him. I think it would take a much better career record to satisfy them, as they usually have very unrealistic expectations. Most of them consider themselves on the same level as NC State.ASUMountaineer wrote:I'm happy for Ruff, but also surprised. The ECU folks I talk to share the same sentiment.

I like the decision though, because it speaks to their commitment to long-term success. Speaking of State, now there's a school that has a new coach every two years because they demand a BCS bowl appearance every year. How do you fire Tom O'Brien? Who do you think you are?
