Let's start the tenure with a bowl win! Great news heading into Friday.

Curious to see the contract details, and wonder if it's similar to what Albin signed after Solich left, or if the program's relative success raised the floor a bit.

That would make him the lowest paid coach in the conference, pretty close to the entire country. Let’s hope we didn’t pull that bullshit.

Proper search. Must've been a great experience for the players, getting the news while staying at a beautiful Orlando resort, going to practice and then getting a day to bond at Universal Studios! Quite a change from the bus ride from Detroit. Good for them.

I hope they left enough money in the kitty to give nice raises to all the assistants — putting them out of UNCC’s price range. Congrats Coach Smith!

I'm glad they went through the process of talking with other candidates before making their decision. Smith is well spoken and took our offense to another level down the stretch. It lets us have some continuity and keep our current culture in place to an extent. Hopefully the timing gives the guys a boost on the field too. Would be great to finish off an 11-win season. Would be one of the truly special years in Ohio football history.

Now just need to see what damage the portal brings to the roster.
