Re: OVC Expansion

No reason at all to leave the MVFC. In regards to the Summit, the OVC looks VERY shaky right now. Those travel costs would have to be pretty significant AND we would need to feel confident about the sustainability of that conference. In my opinion why wouldn’t EIU look into the Summit or MVFC to giv...

Re: Head Coaching Search

I agree with GV on a lot of his post. Western has had GREAT stretches of football, Macomb has always been Macomb. We have seen the right coaching staff put the team in a position to win many times before. Crowds have been large too. I was there from 2000-2004, probably the greatest four year stretch...

Re: Head Coaching Search

Personally I think we put too much weight in wanting to be in macomb. We should look for a candidate that wants to build it up and leave after 4-5 years and leave an assistant behind to keep it going. 
we needed experience, I hope I’m wrong and he is up and coming.

Re: Head Coaching Search

I think we are all selling ourselves short on the MVC. You can’t tell me every sport is light years ahead of us for every school. Basketball, a revenue sport, fine but many of these schools have terrible attendance when their team is bad/average.  drake siu isu indiana state uni bradley evansville m...

Re: Head Coaching Search

Here's a link to an article in the Springfield MO paper that lists salaries on Valley Coaches.  Of course Jared was last.  We need to be a little more competitive this time around to attract the Coach that we all want.    https://www.news-leader.com/story/sports/college/msu/2021/06/30/missouri-vall...

Re: Head Coaching Search

Been a long time since I’ve posted, but I always read everything on here. In my opinion they need a coach with head coaching experience OR a good pedigree as an offensive or defensive coordinator. To turn this around the right way we need someone that knows what needs to be done, I don’t think we ca...

Re: 2018 Playoffs?

Couple other items: - NC A&T loss also opens up a playoff spot. No way the committee takes a MEAC team with three conference losses. - The Elon game is pretty big, 6-4 would really be pushing it if they are to take a sixth CAA team....URI would also be in this camp with a win today, but again if...
