Not going to happen. That guy is moving up the ladder faster than Speedy Gonzalas. The UAB program is a stepping stone program right now, they cannot and will not pay big bucks for a coach.

I think they'll get at least 2-3 years from home and hopefully he leaves a solid foundation for the next coach to build on.

CFB is King right now and UAB has to capitalize on that. I think getting a stadium and decent athletic facilities could go a long way in helping to achieve that

I think the idea that commuter schools in big areas can "capitalize" on CFB being a big deal is total fools gold. Just my opinion, but almost everyone is a train wreck, even ones that have had success. The only ones I can think of that has had marginally sustained success is Central Florida

- South Florida
- UAB
- Georgia State
- MTSU
- FAU
- FIU

CFB is King at the top 15 or so schools which fund their conference sister universities. It is a vast wasteland at the non Power 5 schools.
