Saw from Jeremy's twitter tonight that Ed Meierkort could get a job at Colorado Mesa.....didnt recognize the name until i realized it used to be called Mesa State.
the 6 finalists all have regional ties, including the former UNO coach and the Morningside coach

What is interesting about this whole thing is that if Ed takes the job at Mesa State he will actually be starting at a place that is less desirable than when he came to USD 8 years ago. The RMAC has very limited interest in football especially when compared to the old NCC. If Ed was as good of a coach as some made him out to be there is no way he ends up at Mesa State.

I guess this means Steve Spurrier was never as good as a coach since he is now at South Carolina than Florida, with the Gators being a better job. Wait! It doesn't! Guess that UNO coach must REALLY suck too, jeeeezzzzzz. Oh wait, it doesn't! That is a good question, what did Ed ever do to you coyotefan? |

I actually have nothing against Meirkort as a person I just thought as a coach we needed a new direction. My point is that so many people thought it would be crazy to even consider getting rid of Ed. I would think those people would think Ed would get a head job at a FCS program. If he was truley a great coach like many people thought than I would think he would be a candidate at a D1 program.

See, that's what you think, but that's not how the world always works, coyotefan. Just because you let go does not mean you get to stay at this level. It's like if you get let go from one position, you aren't necessarily get hired at the same position at another place. In fact, the new position that seems like a "step down" might actually be a better place than the one before. I wish the world worked how you described, but it's not. Welcome to reality. |

In other words, Ed wasn't as great as many thought he was. |

A real life example to prove the point
There was a certain defense coordinator who was fired and left the school in disgrace and had to take a lower level head coaching job. Any Guesses?

So why does it have to take me to stir it up a bit for Coyote Fans to respond on this message board. Isn't it kind of sad that it takes an all world event to get anyone to care. I guess it's kind of frustrating to see a Coyote fan base so disinterested in Coyote athletics and also to see USD's peers move so far ahead of them that it's becoming embarrassing trying to compare accomplishments. It's also sad to hear all the excuses made of why it's ok for USD to continue to play third fiddle to the other Dakota State schools. Transition is over in one more sports season but it appears the excuses will go on and on and on. |

I will stay positive and realistic.
Congrats to Coach Ed for being named a finalist. Looking at the other candidates I think he has a real chance to get this job. It is and always will be nice to see former coaches land on their feet. Coaching is a tough job that more times than not leads to getting fired.
Good Luck Coach!

In a weird and distorted way I can see what Coyote Fan is trying to point out. Coyote Fan is using this as validation that Ed wasn't good enough to warrant being an FCS level coach. I disagree. I think this Mesa job is below his coaching pedigree. I could see him taking a head D2 job in the MIAC or maybe the GLIAC, but I think he has earned his stripes as an FCS level head coach with some of the big wins he had at USD.
The reality is that those positions aren't always open and you have to apply for the best opening available at the time. It's not like he had a multi-year contract still left to be paid on where he could sit back and wait for the right opportunity. He had to apply for the best jobs available right now.
