All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

Virginia Tech isn't a better job. While the ACC is easier to contend in, it's also little brother to the Big Two. And VT isn't one of the top 5 jobs in the ACC anymore. Peak Frank Beamer was a unicorn. They haven't been really good for a long time. They are way behind not just Miami and FSU, but also Clemson, GT and even UVa, SMU etc.

In a total non-sequitur to the post, I keep looking for SMU in the Big 12 standings and never equate them with the ACC.
 

The original post I quoted said "Jerry Jones a notoriously cheap person".

I don't think that holds water when giving away $10M to you alma mater.

By percentage of net worth I give more to the university of Minnesota annually (who didn’t let attend their esteemed university) than he did to his Alma mater. But sure 👍

To put it in perspective, and if you can believe reported net worth via the internet, Jerry Jones is worth $19.9BB and if he donated $10MM, that is .0005% of his net worth.

So, if you were worth $1,000,000, it would be equivalent to donating $502.

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is a Millionaire, a U of MN graduate and he has never given two pennies to the University of MN. That putz even wears Badger gear all the time. He is no Gopher

No but it is bad enough they might want him and good enough he might consider

I disagree that viewpoint holds water. $10M is still $10M.

We can agree to disagree
 


They might want him. I doubt he will consider it.
The reason would consider that job that is lateral and not a significant upgrade is if he thinks he’s peaked here and that’s a good exit ramp to an above average job.

If he leaves we should be happy for him and also happy for us.
 



The only thing I would say about fleck is there is an odd circumstance in the Venn diagram

All the teams in one circle are significant enough upgrades where they wouldn’t want fleck

The other teams are significant enough downgrades fleck wouldn’t want them.

Not sure who is in the middle.
If Arkansas really has the money some claim, they don’t want Fleck. If they don’t he doesn’t want them.


I think Virginia tech is the most likely job I’ve seen so far this cycle
First thing that popped into my head...
