    It's comforting to know his family won't starve.
    In the mean time - Texas is still Texas.

    Naturally, the WVU homers want to fire the current coach and bring home local boy Fisher.

    I guess I've heard crazier things.

    They can probably get him cheap since aTm is still paying him

    If Fisher wants to bother with the whole "working" thing it won't be primarily for money.

    Brown is about 500 overall but is on track for about 8-5 this year--- 8-5 doesn't seem like it should be a firing season at WVU. Funny thing is, in the last 40 years, they have only pushed coaches who had at least 8 wins in their final seasons (
    Stewart had 9!).

    A Fisher hire certainly would generate some excitement.
