Very successful coach that won in JMU's first year in FBS plus they are going bowling. Great hire.

he seems like a great coach. He is however 62 years old already. The only older Big Ten coach is Ferentz.

Watch out, an excellent Coach and staff!

I think he has made a mistake. I'm guessing that he's just trying to grab a few years of a major paycheck before he retires. It's unlikely that he can replicate his success at Indiana. He had a great situation at JMU.

He did have a good setup at JMU. What impressed me the most is their record this year, their first in FBS. That is some serious coaching and recruiting.

His QB this year, Jordan McCloud, put up some impressive numbers. He appears to have 2 years of eligibility left, keep an eye on him to enter the portal.

Yup. Gary Barnett made a mistake coming to Northwestern, too.
