I dunno.  That seems like kind of a dead end job.  Why not just enjoy a year off?

Agree.  But it could be that coaching is so much a part of Jim's DNA that he isn't ready for time away.

I can think of another job many thought was dead-end that was filled by a winning coach in his 60s about ten years ago.  He turned it around.

I don't think UAB has national championship aspirations.  I think at this point they'd like to not lose to a miserable Southern Miss team by 35 pts and maybe have their first winning season since '04.  There doesn't seem to be that much pressure to perform; the last coach left on his own after a 2-10 season.  I'm just not sure his style of play is exciting enough for an SEC-area crowd.

Imagine osu getting to pick who replaced Clawson at BG this year. That's what UAB has to deal with.

Looks like this plum (prune?) job is going to Bill Clark of Jacksonville St.
