Keeler Says Sam Houston Considering FBS
Didn't see this in the other threads, just thought it interesting that they obviously brought up in the interview with him that they were considering FBS...

“We really feel like we hit a home run here,” said Keeler, referring to his and wife Janice’s impressions after their recent visit. “There’s a lot in place. They’re talking about maybe going FBS in the future – and that’s something, if they go they go, if they don’t they don’t. I’ll leave that up to the decision-makers. But to have an opportunity to recruit this territory and win national championships, I can’t tell you how fired up I am.”

So the same team that has to have their Special Teams Coach pulling double duty as their Equipment Manager and has their Director of Football Operations also coaching their Tight Ends Coach is gonna head to the FBS?

Facilities need major upgrades, fundraising needs major upgrades, the athletic department needs sweeping changes. The current Ath Director has no vision and is VERY WEAK in fundraising and attracting big money donors. If they dropped that line on KCK, it wont take him long to realize that the Ath Director was full of bull. Until Bobby Williams is shown the door or he decides to leave, SHSU wont be moving up anytime soon.
Anyway, good to know KCK is excited about taking this program to the championship once again.
Re: Keeler Says Sam Houston Considering FBS
KCK would be a horrible coach for an FBS program. His MO has always been to rely on high impact transfers who take advantage of not having to sit out a year. He has done quite well with that MO, but it will fall apart quickly once these transfers would need to sit.

Absolutely. Just look at Jim Tressel, the guy never won a game after he couldn't take in transfers like he did at Youngstown State.

Re: Keeler Says Sam Houston Considering FBS
"In the future". Yeah, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that SHSU will move up sometime between now and the end of civilization. Closer to the end of civilization, of course. Our athletic department needs to think like an FBS program- and even that could only elevate us to the top tier of the FCS in facilities and attendance. In order to truly make a move to the FBS worth it, it's going to take a lot of time and financial support. I'd bet everything I own on Keeler not being coach by the time we finally make the move.
I'd really like to see us actually win a championship before we move up.
Re: Keeler Says Sam Houston Considering FBS
Does SHSU have the support levels of UTSA or TX ST? Can they get there? Because it would appear that SHSU would be a tough move-up candidate. But is this any different than Lamar dreams of FBS? LA-Monroe or LA Tech could also be comparible. South Alabama also.
IMHO, if Montana, Idaho, NMSU, NDSU or SDSU believe that FBS were the place to be, that any of these flagship or Land-grants would be better positioned to be FBS. Idaho is demonstrating that FBS is no panacea, and is more of a problem than it's worth. App St., JMU, Ga Southern are good examples of where it may make sense to move up.
