If you hire Tyrone Willingham, you might as well kiss your football program away.

Guy is disinterested in coaching. All he wants to do is golf now.

SJSU is awful at football anyway, so Ty won't hurt too much.

how can a University go out and do a search for a football coach that would cost a large sum of money when there are budget cuts in the CSU and projected reduced classes for years to come? The football program is not financially stable and with less students, there will be less football tickets sold. This team sucks and only serves as a 'W' for most other teams. Why do you think the University of Alabama paid SJSU 1 million dollars to play them? I think it is time to say goodby to football and move on to other things.

I don't understand all the praise for Tomey. I'm sure he's a fine coach but his only sucessfull season came with few starters he actually recruited. Since his recruiting classes have taken the field SJSU has gotten progressively worse. It seems as though Tomey will always be considered a great SJSU coach simply because of his past success and the initial potential the school saw in him. Good luck to the next coach and may he have more luck here.

The only coach in this story that appeals to me is Terry Shea. I mean, he has had success at SJSU in the past and probably could reconnect with a few of his young assistants that he has mentored throughout his career.

I realize his success was 20 years ago but I do not think that argument is that relevant. That is like looking at a coach's resume and not taking into account 20-35 years of coaching experience and just look at the most recent 3-5 years of the coach's work. Makes no sense.

Bring T. Shea back to SJSU!
