IMO for a coach to consider OKST a step up from Ruston effectively ends LaTech's period as a power in WCBB. Been nice knowing you Techsters.

Given how far Tech has fallen, I wouldn't be surprised to find that LT asked him to leave.

For the AD to say they are ready to act, pretty much is like saying... "Budke, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out"
Besides there is more to life than coaching prestige and $$. I mean UCSBs coach French could probably be better served somewhere other than the Big West, but I'd be shocked to see him leave (except to retire).

Considering that KMR turned down the job and went to Baylor, it may not be so great of a job, money wise.
They don't have enough exposure, and the conference is very weak.

Kim supposedly left because Tech couldn't offer her the security that Baylor could in a 5th year. Losing Budke isn't much of a loss. He probably had 1 or 2 years left anyway. IMO, they should give Janice Braxton a call. However, it seems there is a real possibility Barmore AND Spoon could be heading back to Ruston if Oakes and the lifers get their way, with Chris Long as the backup plan. Interestingly enough, Tech wanted Spoon back as a recruitor around 2002 or 2003, but neither she nor Budke were jumping at the thought of working with each other.
Long is supposedly already looking to add Spoon to the staff if he gets the job but there's the question of Spoon leaving NY. However, if Leon were to come back and she could learn under him for a couple of years and smooth some of the edges, I don't think she'd mind Ruston. It's too bad Spoon may end up back where it all started with Leon keeping her seat warm, while Blaze and Patty still have no assistant other than Harry. Once again, Spoon follows in Sue's footsteps and says, F Blaze. |

The problem with this job it that Rushton is in the middle of nowhere and the commute to games in the small turbo prop planes is not on anyones favorite things to do list;)

Exactly. I think it would take a lot to get Spoon to go back and then even more for her to convince her big city living family to come with her. If anyone could do it though, it would be Papa Leon. Budke was a goner anyway. They really need to call Janice. Those planes need to be banned. They have a habit of falling out of the sky. |
