Just food for thought fellas.
Pat Dye (Auburn's ex-football coach, Bo Jackson years) graduated from Georgia. Vince Dooley (Georgia's ex football coach and AD) graduated from Auburn. "The Deep South's Oldest D-IA Football Rivalry." They hate each other, yet hired an alumnus from their enemy.
Joe Lee Dunn (Memphis DC) was head coach at Ole Miss, and then was DC at Miss. State. He stuffed the Rebels for years and they do not like each other as well.
Bo Schembechler, Michigan's Coach Emeritus, received his master's degree from Ohio State in 1952 while serving as a graduate assistant coach. Michigan hired and OSU alumni!
Need less to say, all these schools actually play each other every year. Perhaps by hiring Holliday (if it happens) he can goad the "School Up North" (stolen from Woody Hayes) to play us every year and settle it on the field. Do you really believe he would try and ruin his name by purposely tanking against WVU? I think not, plus he's a monster in South Florida recruiting. He single handedly recrutied South Florida during WVU's rise to the Nat'l Championship game in 1988. Can you imagine a Marshall team with some Southern Florida speed? Dangerous, very Dangerous, and speed makes me happy! :-D
