Re: 2 Candidates

Interesting read from Seal on MVC team rushing the ball. I was surprised to see UNI was 15th this year. Farley brought in five new coaches this year. He has a reputation for being difficult to work for..his new OC put in the spread for the first time. When we beat them this year their leading rusher...

Re: 2 Candidates

I was home in IL the week of Thanksgiving. I drove up to Macomb for the Men's BB game. I stuck my head in Coach Nielson's office and chatted with him a little.

Dittos Buck. Not one former player on the committee. John Pazzanatti (sp?) or Frank Winters are two that come to mind. With today's technology they could have had members outside Macomb on the committee. I hope they listen to what Brett Taylor says.

Search Committee

Just saw the make up of the Search Committee. I know all but one, glad to see Brett Taylor on there. We could have done better on one of them but that's just MO. What's everyone else's take?

Re: Athletics Director

I was home last weekend. Friend told me he was at the Ag Mech Show a year ago as his daughter had a role in the show. He said Thomas was there at the opening. My friend tried to talk to him Said he came off arrogant and acted like he didn't want to be there.

Re: Who do you want to see as a new HC?....Part II

If he turned down SIU where he coached previously with a renovated/new stadium of less than five years why would he want to come to Western knowing full well what has happened the past two weeks here??
