Davie used to coach at Texas
Davie used to coach at Texas
Davie used to coach at Texas A&M from 1985-1993 as an assistant, so he knows that part of the country well. Never could make the transition to ND, or so alums said.
UNM should have never fired Rocky Long (now SDSU HC), but Davie is in a good situation. Put it this way, UNM has won 3 games over the last 3 years.
What happens if he wins 2 next year, contract extension?

I'm surprised, the chatter was focusing on Glen Mason for a while and I thought that would have been a good hire. Davie has been in the TV booth for over a decade, and didn't do that well in his last stint before heading to TV. Glen Mason brought Minnesota its only period of respectability since I've been alive. I don't know why they would go with Davie instead unless it was monetary issues.

People in New Mexico are
People in New Mexico are
People in New Mexico are actually pretty passionate about the Lobo's(although they care more about basketball) and I'm sure the University felt the need to make a somewhat "name" hire. The problem is the resources aren't quite there so they usually have to gamble.
Personally I think going with a conventional coach for New Mexico is a mistake. It's always going to be hard to get premier talent out there(even though Albuquerque is a fun city and the Sandia mountains are pretty), so finding an edge is important. Rocky Long's 3-3-5 defense is a perfect example as he made the program much more successful than it had been in the past by utilizing something outside of the norm and doing it well.

And...I'm an idiot at least as far as Davie is concerned. While New Mexico needs a different scheme to gain an edge Davie's preference for the option should do well there, and if I recall correctly he ran a version of the 3-3-5 at Texas A&M or at least used some of the concepts. Good job calling me out, I made the fatal mistake of hearing Notre Dame and thinking boring and conventional.

"Even though Albuquerque is a fun city". It's fun if you are into Georgia O'Keefe paintings and pueblos. Honestly, I have no idea how you convince a 17 year old kid from California or Texas to hop on a bus and promise to spend 5 years in that town to play FBS football.
That being said, the bar is set so low at that program. Davie can stay as long as he likes if he can get that team back to playing .500

That was one of Locksley's biggest problems. The guy is from DC and has all these recruiting ties in DC, so he wasted a lot of time offering all the blue-chips from the DC area thinking he was gonna recruit that area so hard. About a dozen schools see DC as a pipeline (besides even the national powerhouses that go after the biggest names) and a kid that has an offer from just two or three regional schools wasn't even gonna look at the New Mexico one.

Running the Option or the Veer Option
Running the Option or the Veer Option
makes sense for NM. In my reading of Blood, Sweat and Chaulk, the author, Tim Layden talks about how schools that don't have the greatest athletes at the specialized poisitions of RB and QB will gravitate toward the Veer, the option and single wing style of football because it doesn't require a great QB or RB, but several players that are willing to get hit a lot.
The schools that don't recruit the high profile players in those positions tend to run those offenses and many succeed because very few teams run those schemes and as a result are very difficult to prepare for and defend.

It works for Air Force, although I'd argue you're more looking for good decision making coupled with decent athleticism(which can be found in great quantities if you know what you're looking for, see Air Force' history of QB play that's at least decent) over a simple willingness to get hit.
