JP is a Coog, so I think he may stay. Heard rumors to SMU, but why would you do that. At any rate, there is always turnover on recruiting when head coach changes. Coogs will be just fine.
Right. I was hoping Phillips would get the job because of his loyalty to the program. However, in the end, I'm confident that Levine is the best man for the job - and I say that only because I have a lot of faith in Mack Rhoades' ability as an AD.
I heard some scuttlebutt about Phillips being a HC candidate for FAU, but that was over a month ago and nothing has come to fruition. Phillips has shown that he can be a capable HC and I hope he gets his chance. ...maybe in a few years Levine will leave for greener pastures?
In the last two years the Coogs have lost their top recruits to disciplinary reasons and attitude issues - so, I'm pretty fired about about our programs ability to get the best effort out of the guys who sign on with us.
Plus, we're not too far off from being able to compete for recruits with our in-state rivals.
