08:19 AM ET 08.11 | When Gene Bleymaier took over at Boise State, its athletic department budget was $2 million. Whoever takes the helm will be replacing the man who installed the first blue turf, completed two major Bronco Stadium expansions, led the school through three conference changes and hired the football coaches who have produced seven Top 25 seasons and two Fiesta Bowl championships in the past decade. Boise State teams won six conference championships in 2010-11. ... Longtime supporter Rich Fedrizzi said boosters are "dismayed" by the firing and worried about the football program's continuity. "I hope we can keep it together," Fedrizzi said. "I hope people don't get disgruntled, including the coaching staff."

It is easy to be conference champs versus a bunch of junior colleges.

BTW, The AD will go down in CFB history for the blue turf, which will remain forever, much to a lot of fans dismay. I like it and think that other schools should do it too. Now you like me less and frankly my dear.....

VT has been the one to dominate the ACC. At the time, they were just along for the ride.

I am not saying Boise did not earn it but the competition was weak compared to the other conferences.
