I-A head coach that he might seriously consider taking the Eastern Michigan job. In fact, one source close to the Tech football program said this morning that he thinks Bustle is a goner if he's offered the job by Eastern Michigan athletic director Dr. David Diles. Yes and no, is my response. First, I was surprised to hear that the Mid-American Conference school can match and possibly even top the financial package Bustle has at Tech. I'm told on good authority that Eastern Michigan is likely willing to ante up that kind of green, or more, to find the right man to upgrade a program that's won only 20 of 55 games the past five seasons.
Nobody has yet.
It hasn't been the Big Easy for the Hokies, but that's where they'll be come Jan. 4, when they meet fellow unbeaten Florida State for the national championship in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. It's an offense that led the country in scoring this season, producing a school-record 455 points. Fact is, though, Bustle wants to be a head coach. At age 46, maybe he feels his time clock is ticking away. I-A head coaching jobs out there.
