If you can't beat them then join them (in getting a coach from BState)?

I'd be somewhat surprised if that were to come to fruition. Harsin is a BSU alumnus. Both he and his wife are Boise natives. They both have a lot of ties to the area. He'd seem to be at least as likely a candidate for a long-term coach at BSU as any.

That would also surprise me, as Harsin is an unproven commodity who inherited a stellar program which appears to be trending downward under his watch. If BSU didn't get 8 games a year against the MWC, they might be 4-8 like Helfrich.

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember



You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over



But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know



(Phil Knight singing...) Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know



But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody

$15m for urb to come to eugene?

Is he selling the team or just looking to relocate it?

Yes that was one of the signs that Helf wasn't in a good spot before the Civil War. Someone Tweeted it was the first Civil War Uncle Phil has missed in 20 years.

[hostile]

Helfrich out.

[New Mexican Disaster]

Bring back Bellotti!

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Bring back Bellotti!

If just so he stops ruining ESPN broadcasts!

I sincerely believe is it Chip and has been since a month ago when Uncle Phil was his guest at a 49er game. The other two names that seem to be gaining traction are PJ Fleck who is being compared Tom chip but in his 30s and Greg Schiano.

[clackamascoug]

Husky... does Chip finish the season with the 9er's or does he hit the recruiting road next week.

Ok... that's the stupidest sentence ever written on CS which forces the hand of reality. Chip Kelley hates recruiting and will never do it again for Oregon.

Sorry.

HFN - just promise us that you won't inundate the board with talk of rowing boats or HOW or whatever craziness that WMU dude brings to town.

The guy is a good coach and wins games. But dude is weird.

Fiutak on the Oregon HC search:

If we’re really talking about $10 million a year as a possibility, Oregon’s not going to hire a fricking MAC head coach. Let P.J. Fleck row his boat at Purdue first.

Oregon’s not going to hire Lane Kiffin – it’s just not – and it’s not going hire Chip Kelly – it’s just not – and it’s not to bring back Scott Frost quite yet, although hiring any of one of those three would work.

But if you have $10 million a year to potentially spend, then go spend $10 million a year.

You’re not thinking big enough, people.

This is Phil Knight’s program. The man is getting older, and he has a lot of money, and he likes to go all Drake around winners he helped create – hanging out with Ohio State this weekend instead of at Oregon’s game against Oregon State.

With that in mind, and knowing Knight likes the elite big thing, and knowing money isn’t going to be an issue for the right head coach …

Why not go after Urban Meyer?

Or at least give it a shot, considering Urban is barely able to keep the lights on, making around $6.5 million a year.

Nick Saban? He’s making ends meet on ramen and love at over $7 million a year. Jim Harbaugh? After all the incentives and bonuses, about $9 million.

But that’s not $10 million.

How much money do these coaches really need and want? Simple, for some of the most hyper-competitive people on the planet – more than than other guy.

In the words of C. Montgomery Burns, “ah, yes, but I’d trade it all for a little bit more.”

This is Knight. This is Nike. This is Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter. If any of these hopes are even close to being true, and Knight really is willing to help the cause and drop the cash for a head coach, then yeah, we’re ten miles past the Fleck/Harsin/Phil Montgomery territory.

Okay, then go for it, and don’t screw around.

You want a Chris Petersen type? Get Chris Petersen.

You want Dabo to create Eugene Clemson? Sure.

Hell, if you want Tom Herman, you can close to double his salary.

Everyone … has … a … price.
