We have 3 home games coming up vs UC, no need to make any decision about dropping them now. Those could/should be big crowds and we might win a couple of them. No need to talk about dropping this series until we see how things play out.

It is almost comical how often the phrase “student athlete” is used when athletic directors are interviewed by the media.

Well said, Doctor Cakes.

Well, well said.

Both money and opportunity are reasons coaches would leave. Most assistants hope to work their way up to a head coaching position or to be an assistant at a Power conference or an NFL team where even the assistants make great money.

I’m well aware. And I’m happy for the guys who are moving up. At the same time I selfishly wish they were still here because they’ve all been great to me

Frame it however you want, he’s no longer here and is at a different school so I put him on the list :man_shrugging:

You missed Joe Bowen last year’s LB coach who went to UBuffalo as DC and LB coach.

That might be our biggest loss.

I may have missed it on here, but read that Iowa hired former WMU head coach Tim Lester as their OC, a position he hasn’t held since 2015. Interesting hire by Iowa-is he the answer for their offensive problems or is he the best they could get?
