Especially since Fangio is basically coaching the OLBs by himself so we'd probably have an easy time replacing him. All in all I'm glad for Leavitt if he leaves, he just can't be choking people out lol.

How is itC exactly that you know that "Fangio is basically coaching the OLBs by himself?

Can you cite the source for this information?

I would be surprised if we were able to keep Levitt for more than 2 years. He will get a solid college head coaching job very soon.

Because most ASU fans and boosters don't think much of him, plus he carries with him concern of NCAA rule violations.

I would rather hire anybody other than June Jones, I don't think he could win in a BCS conference. He is strictly a mid-major coach.

A person familiar with the decision says Pittsburgh coach Todd Graham is leaving the Panthers to take the same position at Arizona State.

He also had a "minor" sexual harassment claim filed against him at SMU a few years ago. Jones' agent brought this to ASU's attention late in the process and it turned them off. It checked out, but it gave ASU a bad vibe.

Pittsburgh Trib-Review puts 49ers' Greg Roman on list of possible candidates at Pitt. Makes sense.

I hate the 'coach carousel' these days in the league. We don't see him leaving of course, but the possibility is there.

he'll be on a new team next year anyway, so it wont matter.

Harbaugh and the same system would still be here

...Alex would just be hearing a different voice sending him the play, this is why it was so important we hire an offensive minded coach, because if we had a defensive oriented coach, then we would have had to bring in another OC and another playbook, this is why the Nolan and Singletary teams couldnt get the offense going ...But next year our offense can hit the ground running
