I think the biggest problem is the hypocrisy.

The good news for ol' Art is he's taken a job at a level and location most media won't even bother to cover.

Good for ENMU

A buddy of mine (UT EE) moved to Palo Alto and lived in what he called a Hacker House. That's all he could afford at the time. 

That's my contribution. It's pretty as hell but man it's pricy.

Two friends of mine moved somewhere in that area.  He retired at 50.  It had always been his plan if he invested wisely and those investments didn’t tank with market fluctuations. 
 

The wife still works although remotely and maybe a little bit of travel.  Between their high earnings, investments, and inheritance when her parents passed on (which probably didn’t factor into their decision), they decided to move there. 
 

Time will tell if they stay there a long while or move someplace more affordable later. 
 

This guy watches more college football than anyone alive.   It’s insane how many games he records and watches throughout the week.  I don’t know that he watches any sitcoms or dramas or movies.  It’s all football. 300+ games per season.

This looks like a solid hire for Oregon State.  Vigen replaced Choate when Choate joined the Texas staff in 2021.  Vigen was 47-10 at Montana State.

I guess Jonathan Smith won't be getting fired by Michigan St this year. His buyout must be cost-prohibitive after the Mel Tucker fiasco.

I did a quick search - roughly $30mm.  $500k per month for 5 years.  I actually thought Smith would be competent there.  Funny - some MSU fans were hopeful that Oregon State would take him off their hands.

I grew up in Amarillo, and lived in Canyon for a while. Eastern NM and West Texas A&M in Canyon are rivals.

Do the teams get all the local little town support? Seems like out in the hinterest of hinterlands, this might be the greatest show on Earth. I hope it's true.

That Tucker situation is still up in the air yes?  I know MSU is trying to get away with a "for cause" termination.

Last I checked, it was still unresolved.

I agree that a lot of D1 coaches are the types of highly driven people who often just aren’t nice to be around.

I don’t fault corporate speakers and guests who cut off their hobnobbing at time. Those contracts how they make their money, the fees are spelled out, and I don’t fault an other professional for leaving when their job ends. It’s fine if they are having fun and want to meet and greet, it’s also fine if they call it once they deliver what they agreed to. 
 

Different story if you’re assholish at dinners in your honor or kids events or something. 

Oh we're in full agreement. Honestly, if the company I was working for didn't expect me to hang and socialize I'd often bail too. Even though I go to networking events as a part of my career, I dont love them. So, I'd be pretty hypocritical if I expected speakers to want to hang after. That's the very reason Lou Holtz really stood out. He enjoyed engaging with people, answering and asking questions. Genuinely getting to know people in a friendly way. It was cool and unique. (Confession- He even had nice things to say about Texas and Mack Brown but I'm not repeating them for fear of negbalivion. )

I know we've talked about it before, but as someone with family in Canyon I have to grin and make a comment about it when it comes up. Small world and all.

So did OSU and Arky draw straws or something? Golesh’s wife’s family is from that area and might have been the difference. I would have been happy with either but reading about Morris’ QB whispering has me excited for what he’ll bring. 

The Pistols Firing podcast said OSU told Golesh the offer and he kind of slow played it, wanted to see how the other jobs would shake out. OSU said "Good luck" and pivoted hard to Morris.

Reads like Morris wanted the OSU job more than Golesh did. Arkansas is a good "consolation prize" for him.
