Topic:  OT: Schaus leaving Athens? Author Message Brufus General User Member Since: 12/13/2011 Location: Wherever Miami and Michigan suck Post Count: 416 Status: Offline     OT: Schaus leaving Athens?    Posted: 11/4/2013 10:07:44 PM  Not sure which message board category this fell under, so since this one is still being used often, I'll pose my thought here: Just saw a tweet that Texas has narrowed its AD search down to Oliver Luck (WVU) and Steve Patterson (Arizona St.) Since one of those two will have an opening in the very near future, what's the chance that Jim Schaus is considered for either of those jobs?  Back to Top ts1227 General User Member Since: 2/28/2006 Location: Tallmadge, OH Post Count: 873 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Schaus leaving Athens?    Posted: 11/4/2013 10:13:42 PM  If WVU opens, I'm hitting the panic button Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,743 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Schaus leaving Athens?    Posted: 11/4/2013 11:04:11 PM  It appears that the WVU job is the only one that he really covets.  He came to Ohio because it was closer to Morgantown and his aging parents than Wichita.  The only thing closer to Morgantown with a D1 program would be Morgantown itself.  So, yes, if Luck goes, Jim will be in the mix for the WVU job.  I don't think we have to worry about ASU.  The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Jim Schaus would have to go on the road to Kansas and Oklahoma all the time for that job but that is another aspect that would help at WVU the fact that he was AD at Wichita State. Secondly with the accomplishments at Ohio there isn't much left to do at the school. The apparel contracts are in place. He hired a marketing company for ticket sales. Raised money to get improvements to the Convo and the IPF. If he can get a 100% raise out of moving to WVU then why not.

I stand corrected.  We are the second closest D1 program to Morgantown.  See how easy it is to admit one's mistakes?   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Welp, that should settle that. Back to Top L.C.

Everyone makes mistakes, sometimes, and they are no big deal when you admit them and move on. When you lose people's respect is when you try to distract and change the subject to avoid admitting mistakes. By the way, I'm not sure Pitt is happy with their AD, so that job might open at some point. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top BobcatSports General User Member Since: 2/2/2006 Post Count: 1,094 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Schaus leaving Athens?    Posted: 11/5/2013 4:56:35 PM  You're not implying that the marvelous AD who rescued Nebraska football from "falling into mediocrity" has now fallen out of favor with the PITT crowd are you L.C.? The Cornhuskers haven't been the same since they were "Pedersoned" and to be quite truthful PITT football has been no better than mid-level MAC quality since PITT hired him back.  Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,743 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Schaus leaving Athens?    Posted: 11/5/2013 5:31:48 PM  Well, if he does leave or is heaved from Pitt, there would be at least one good side to it.  Ohio might get Pitt back on the schedule again.  There was no way we'd play Pitt again in football while that dude was AD.  I suppose, as BTC so astutely pointed out, a Pitt opening could be appealing to Schaus for reasons of geography.  That would be the downside.   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

We've had no games against Miami FL, Texas Tech, or Fresno St. lately. Would be nice to get games like that, but not at the expense of one of the most important cogs in the Ohio Athletics machine.
