I feel that too. Too many jobs going to be open.
mid you’ve watched his interviews over the last year or so you can tell he is frustrated by the lack of financial support from the school and community, from NIL to facilities to assistants getting poached. He mentioned he had to beg for more money for recruiting . He mentions some high schools have indoor practice fields. He feels like he’s coaching and managing his ass off and not seeing the benefits.
Also the students just overwhelmingly voted down an athletic fee increase that would have provided another couple million a year.
I honestly don’t think he gives a shit whether he makes 1 million here or 5 million at Baylor or 10 million at aggys. But he really just wants to be on the same level as the rest of the conference. (Utsa is like bottom 2 in athletic department budget). He wants to be able to keep players he’s scouted recruited and developed. He wants to be able to keep coaches he taught and developed.
So yea, all that plus losing Frank and his Top 2 WRs, plus Cardenas. He’s probably gone.
the one thing I’d worry about as a school looking to hire him: he probably would pull a Herman and bring a bunch of his G5 assistants with him. For reference I’m pretty sure every time he’s lost an assistant he’s just promoted from within. He’ll probably bring his brother with him (unless utsa keeps him as HC?) when he got to SA he brought a lot of Texas guys like Mattox and Frank okam. He doesn’t have the extensive network of coaches to look through and I don’t think he’ll hire people he doesn’t know.
Also he would probably kill it at Baylor or UH.
