Keeler Says Sam Houston Considering FBS

[superman7515]

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?

I can find absolutely zero fault in any NCAA Division I athletic program that fields a varsity football team wanting to provide the maximum number of scholarships to football student-athletes. That's the only impetus that needs to be considered.

If the students vote to fund the increased cost with increased student fees, then nothing more can be said about the financials of the move. If you want nice things, you choose to pay for them.

Sam Houston has been talking about that for the last 5 years. It was the same talk when Coach Fritz was hired. Dont listen to that part of the conversation. SHSU is NO WHERE NEAR moving up. 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.

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.

At least K.C. has run a clean program, unlike the Teflon Don. I think Keeler would do fine coaching at any level. He was actually working with the NFL Films guys this season, teaching them some of the ins and out of the read option and the spread. Also, don't forget he has already been very successful as a championship coach at two levels for Rowan and Delaware. He knows how to build programs.
