Supposedly Fickell was offered and turned down the West Virginia gig over the off season. That's sorta surprising if true. He has at least a million kids, so I can see why he wouldn't want to just up and move across the country every year. But a P5 in a neighboring state? How do you pass that up.

He'd probably be interested in that job, as his career path has already mirrored Dantonio's to this point. 

Not saying he'd be offered, but I imagine he could be sold on the Michigan job, as Bo Schembechler was also an OSU assistant that cut his teeth at a D1 school in Southwest Ohio. 

As a Catholic, Notre Dame would be an obvious temptation. But, once again, would they want him? 

West Virginia would be a lot better than Kentucky or Pitt, as far as nearby choices go. 

Or maybe he is content with simply trying to build Cincinnati up into something bigger than it is.

There were rumors about Louisville and Maryland too.

Im hoping he's waiting for MSU to open up next year?

Between travel and having the kids, my wife and I haven't been to our little wine bar in over 6 weeks. So that's on the schedule for tonight, followed by coming home to make veggie lasagna stuffed portobello mushrooms for dinner, since we're trying to do the low-carb thing.

But I'm guessing the UVA/MIA game is going to go on when we get home, and if that gets boring, switch over to Buffs/Ducks. 

The good thing for me is that Pac 12 After Dark actually starts at 7:00 PM locally, so I don't have to stay up to the wee hours like you east coasters if it's a good game.

While I'm sure there are some coaches who love being the royal family of their small town I don't think that holds true for everyone. When you are very well paid the relative anonymity you get by being a coach in a city is underrated.

Either that or maybe the buyout (and WVU was on a downswing) was too low.

West Virginia has 11 power five teams on the schedule through 2024. And there aren’t a lot of creampuffs in that group. That is going to be a hard job for a while.

Hmm.  Hadn’t heard that.  The story that I heard was Fickell and Brown were the top two choices.  President Gordon Gee favored Fickell because he knew him from his days at Ohio St.  AD Shane Lyons wanted Brown.  Fickell had some reservations because there wasn’t a Catholic school in Morgantown for his kids to attend.  Gee has also said Brown was one of the best interviews he ever sat in on.

He may have been offered but that’s the first I heard that.  Fickell has done a really nice job at UC but my personal pick out of the gate was Brown.  I’m sure Fickell will have a P5 job pretty soon regardless of what really happened with WVU.
