I think you could have spun a beer bottle at SpoCo and came up with as good of a search committee. Seal... who are these great football minds you speak of and how did they get such distinguished reputation?

Just to clarify, I did mean Tommy Bell, not TVA. I understand the conflict there, but that was awhile ago and I would have hoped that page was turned and more progress would be tangible by now. I'm very hopeful Tanney can pick up where Tommy left off.

Leatherneck57 -- I love your enthusiasm, and as I've stated before, my support remains steadfast. The cynical side of me, though, says "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" The West Side has been crumbling for years, the University's endowment has been a joke for even longer, the Leatherneck Club has be...

Yep, I agree... if this thread disappeared, it would be fine by me. Sour grapes and a misunderstanding of how modern day collegiate athletics works. Nielson fled for green pastures; SD did nothing wrong. WIU needs to look in the mirror and get its own house in order; pointing fingers outside Macomb ...

You just don't get it done you, NFS71!? You can't expect this staff to wait around at a chance for a job when they have good paying ones waiting for them in Vermillion.

They didn't, presumably because he screwed it up like he's good at. I completely agree with Tere when she referen...

Gladly Seal. WIU doesn't have the money to try something like that right now and should be worried about filling Western Hall first. I'd recommend less Bible School X opponents first and foremost. Also, Illinois has tried the same thing with going to Chicago every year for the same type of reasons. ...

A few thoughts... We'd be lucky to have Coach Yelk take over. Great young football mind and an even better person. Honestly, I'd be very happy with any of the internal candidates. Coach Nielson was a pretty high character guy with a high character staff, whether his exit was indicative of it or not....

NFS71, As a guy with at least a little construction knowledge, why does hiring a single prime contractor require money down? That makes very little (maybe no) sense. A single prime contractor just means that the University executes one construction contract with a general contractor to complete the ...
