Jason Eck to be next New Mexico HC

[tetoncat]

I don’t think Eck managed the game particularly well last night, but overall, I think he’s a really good coach and seems like a good dude.

He's very aggressive in his play calling and it sometimes comes back to haunt him. Overall really good coach and New Mexico got a good one

Good recruiter, could not really win the big game, sold kids on success and move up. Not sure that will work at FBS. Took to many chances for my liking.

NM is a very difficult place to find success. Hope Eck can pull it off. Good man.

I base it off of how I think I would feel if that coach went to coach for the Gris. Would I feel dread if the Gris hired Eck and he had the Gris resources? Absolutely

I'm just a little curious if the team knew before last night that he was leaving. Not that it necessarily affected how they played, some teams rally hard for a well loved coach, but knowing everything was changing the next day, that had to affect them somewhat. Clearly Eck asked NM to wait to announce until after the game, which was the right thing to do.

I don't think it affected them much even if they knew, they were hanging right in there with the Bobcats for most of the 1st half until the weird onside kick went against them followed immediately by the weird fumble. It's interesting to watch their post-game press conference though, it does almost seem like the players are just going through the motions talking about "next year" because they know or at least strongly suspect there won't be one for them (at Idaho).

So now what will be the new rumor for Vigen?? Head coach of Idaho?

Vigen staying in advance of MSU moving up……

Central MU has hired.

Idaho has had some frankly terrible stuff in their athletic department the last few years so this shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s bad because having another solid football member in the conference is great for MSU and the Big Sky. They need to fix some things otherwise it could be back to the dark ages for them.

Rehire Petrino! I need a good laugh this week.

[mslacatfan]

Yeah, it’s too bad…. Having a competitive Idaho program is great for the big sky….. I’m worried they might be looking like cal poly next year.

A lot to pay with one good season and staying in MW
