Personally, I would be happy if someone simply had the integrity to serve out the term of their contract, unlike Dennis "Drunken Slimeball" Erickson. I do not think asking a coach to stay for four or five years is so much to ask, especially considering the salary - I would LOVE to have a five year contract with that kind of money guaranteed.<br><br>Penny<br><br><b><i>Chris Storhok <cstorhok@co.fairbanks.ak.us></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Put me down in support of Jim Harbaugh. He has had great success at<br>the University of San Diego, has the desire to move on to the next level<br>and has a great background as well. Played at the University of<br>Michigan under Bo, played for the Bears and Colts in the NFL, and has<br>seen nothing but success as a coach. <br>Idaho fans must face reality; the Vandals are at their best when they<br>are under the guidance of a
coach who aspires to rise through the ranks.<br>That style of coach was why we were successful in the 1980's and 90's<br>and why Boise Junior College is doing so well today. Of the names I have<br>seen mentioned, Jim is the one coach that fits the mold. Sure he will be<br>gone in 3-5 years but the team and program he would build in the process<br>will be winners. I cannot understand why anyone would look for a coach<br>who promises to stay at Idaho until the end of his career; lets be<br>realistic, take the guy who will work his butt off building a program<br>knowing that Idaho is a great step to bigger programs. <br><br>If Harbaugh does not work out, give Kramer the chance. I think he is<br>also one of those coaches who wants to move up the ladder. <br><br><br>Go Vandals...<br><br>Chris <br><br> <br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: vision2020-bounces@moscow.com<br>[mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com] On Behalf Of Carl Westberg<br>Sent: Monday, December
