Sounds like a man of reason. The current coach should be gone by then so they will have the opportunity to get someone better than Crowe

[dgtw]

Crowe's a decent enough coach, but he's 66 and I think they'll need a younger man to lead them to the next step, someone who can tough out the transition years. He just signed a four year deal so maybe he'll retire to the lake after that.

it wont be long for them... they will want to keep up with south alabama

[Cocky]

Coaching has cost us several games in the past and I expect the same this year. Crowe can get talent but the improvement doesnt seem to follow.

Actually it is the Board of Trustees that will make the decision to move to FBS when an invitation is received from a conference. That will probably come sooner than later.

A lesson for North Alabama, who wants to move to FCS despite their lack of finances to fund the move???
