Speaking of horror, from what I read it's not all Roses back at Boise State either. Here is some information taken from a recent column by Mike Prater, Idaho Press Sports Columnist discussing the pros and cons between Moore and Avalos:
"- The university has no athletic director — that hire should happen during the first part of 2021.
- The university has a new president — and she’s in charge of an athletic department that is broke.
- The east-side renovation of Albertsons Stadium has been halted.
Boise State, including fans, has a fractured relationship with the Mountain West Conference. In part, because of Harsin’s recent email barrage, and because of the American Athletic’s surge past the Mountain West in the conference race for G5 supremacy.
The next Boise State coach needs to win games, typically not a problem around here.
More important, the next coach needs to inspire millions of dollars in cash and rivers of resources to build, push and perfect the program, on and off the field.
Avalos might be more prepared to run a college program right now, to recruit college students-athletes, to win games right away. And do so with pizzazz and energy.
Moore, a more cerebral coach with less public pizzazz and energy than Avalos, has more history and tradition at Boise State — and his uber-popularity will instantly fire up Bronco Nation.
Yes, there’s a chance for a Ty Detmer-BYU debacle and divorce, but anything involving Moore is worth taking a risk.
- He could attract 30,000 season-ticket holders.
- He could raise millions to renovate Albertsons Stadium — and beyond.
- He has massive coaching connections all over this country — college and professional.
And, as we’ll never forget, he was 50-3 as a college quarterback.
It’s comforting that Boise State has a fantastic candidate in Avalos. But, IMO, Boise State has no choice but to hire Moore, the biggest and most successful winner in the history of the program."
As if being a Head Coach wasn't hard enough. If KM takes the job, he has got his work cut out for him.
