The athletic has put CC in the running for IU.

Dan, sportswriters know what a remarkable job Creighton has done. Boosters, however, do not. All they see is a 52-67 W-L record and that does not pass their "smell test". Mark Stoops was all ready to be hired at A&M until the boosters could not stomach his 35-55 conference record. Kentucky was Vandy in SEC football before he arrived but all they see is 35-55 and that is not good enough.

Yep. He does not have the cache for a P5 gig.

Think about Sean Lewis for a second. He did a hell of a job at a tough place to win, Kent St. He left there, however, to be a coordinator at a P5 program. I presume he is making similar money, $1.2M, to his predecessor, Brady Hoke. That is TOLEDO money in freaking San Diego! Not too shabby. How much of a launch pad is the MAC for head coaches, in today's world? Just asking.

I was surprised by Lewis; I had heard Deion demoted him during the season. I don’t know if that’s true, but they had a disappointing year overall anyway.

Whatever — good for him.

My 2c...

I am NOT convinced Deion is a good coach..

He won at Jackson State with talent that could run the table in the MAC. I have NEVER seen a non-P5 team recruit the way he did. Marshall 25 years ago recruited like crazy, but they wouldn't hold a candle to the talent he had at JSU. JSU is FCS.

At CO he ran off tons of players, started fast and died like a dog. His son, a talented QB,
was like food for hungry dogs.

A smart AD knows that Lewis wasn't responsible for the mess of Deion's creation.

Yeah lewis got demoted part way though the season in sort of a public way. I don't blame him for taking the first train out of town. San Diego is a hell of a landing spot.

I am not worried about CC leaving but his staff. There was a huge staff turnover last year..Would like to some stability this year.

See this right here. He's absolutely going to lose an assistant or two.

The HC of JMU is going to Indiana.

Bottom line: want a HC position with a P5 program have a good resume.

Or none, just be a coordinator at a very good program.

I'm hateful of Creighton's bowl game extension, but when he took the EMU job, he probably assumed cement shoes, he ain't going anywhere. As of now, I am thankful we have him.

Dear Friends,
All this talk about Sean Lewis being some wonder boy, I think needs to be tempered a bit. His record at Kent State was 24-31, and he did win a bowl game, but I don't think as a coaching talent, he is really any better than Chris Creighton.

I mean he did make a MAC championship in his fourth year so there's also that.

Dear EagleHawk,
So, is that the qualifier? Making it to the championship game, but losing?

Worked for Ron Cooper.

I mean if we're comparing him to Creighton, it's a pretty big accomplishment that he has over him.

Dear emu79,
I'm somewhat confused by your Ron Cooper comment. He didn't go to any championship game, or is it he had a losing record, but still, was hired for a supposedly better job. He did not perform well at Louisville, and lost the job there. Let's see how Sean Lewis does at San Diego State.

He had a losing record and takes in more $$$

Slightly off-topic, but former FB Coach King-Williams is still doing well:
