re: Lunney

Just remembered yurachek had to replace Tom Herman at Houston and ended up going with existing OC Major Applewhite after interviewing several candidates including Kiffin. I wonder if this makes him more or less likely to promote lunney and if it makes kiffin more or less likely to accept a contract from hunter since he got passed over.

Just saying, it wouldn't shock me to see kiffin to ole Miss over this and yurachek to go with someone already here like Lunney

Two completely different situations.

Houston won 22 games in 2 years with Applewhite as the OC, and Herman was hired away to a better job. Most ADs in those situations, especially at G5 schools, end up promoting a qualified assistant from the previous staff for the sake of continuity.

We're not promoting a position coach from the staff of a HC who just got fired for winning 4 games in 2 years.
