Wonder how much this contract is going to cost the UNM (i.e. NM Taxpayers)? But the current coach who was fired recently had but two wins in two years. UNM won its third game in three years last week against UNLV. So the program has nowhere to go but up.

Where is this “Norte Dame” school of which you speak?

Not sure if he’s who we really need though. Seems he didn’t have that great of a record at Notre Dame and he’s not even been coaching since he’s on ESPN....

I think after last week and the way he’s rallied the team they should have given Barlow a chance. Plus he wouldn’t be nearly so expensive.

This is a good hire for our beloved Lobos. I think Davie will bring back that hard nosed, chip on the shoulder attitude that Rocky Long brought. Davie has stated he wants to bring a a new tradition to Lobo Football. He wants the kickoff team to be made up of New Mexico kids. He and R.C Slocum did this at Texas A&M, they had the kickoff team made up of all walk-ons. The Aggies were the best at kickoff coverage for the 6 years they did this. Davie will bring this program up to the level it deserves to be. Now lets see if the “Damn fans” will respond in kind.

WE ARE NEW MEXICO!!!!!!!!
