Scratch that .... just remembered he left for Maryland, not Ohio State. Ok, I'm stumped. He was an East Coast guy though.
Meanwhile SJSU seems to have so many things going for it. Big city, big state, a state known with a rich football history and football talent. Yet amazingly, SJSU has been struggling. So if someone could make Boise into a player in football and the sports conference games, that person has to be considered a good catch for SJSU.
SJSU is so close to losing football and even D1 status forever, that even I can understand their willingness to look beyond some potential character flaws. Good for them on finding someone willing to take on the SJSU challenges.
