Lets talk turkey here, the facilities do not attract the better athletes. If they are d1 caliber chances are they have visited other schools. We do not stack up against the others. So the players that commit are the players getting naia or d2 offers. Or are cast offs from other schools. Once they’re here and experience the shit show coaching they scratch their heads and start looking for a way out! The d coordinator shouldn’t be coaching here, he just has no idea how to scheme up a defense. And Myers, albeit a nice guy has a soft and meek way about him. Not what you need as a D1 football coach. The assistant coaches that are worth they’re weight realize that they are on a sinking ship and jump off at any opportunity as soon as they can. Another thought, has anyone wondered why coach H didnt bring 1 assistant with him from his previous job? Makes you go 🤔 hmmmm.

The champion of Macomb's pro wrestling group, Sam Knight, has called out the entire WIU football team for a match. The call out can be seen on the Destination 6 Wrestling facebook page (I can't figure out how to link from Facebook)

This is pretty spot on. You then have to rely on player development and scheming. Player development may be a little early to tell, but scheming is clearly not working. Players also see the lack of resources and budget within the program and get the picture. Most high schools have newer helmets/equipment and nicer stadiums.

I dont have the numbers to support it, but my gut tells me that coaches in small town D3 or NAIA programs, especially religous-affiliated ones, like it where they are and dont move around too much.  But I agree with you.  For years in all programs, it seems we are not getting the real D1 athletic types here (explosiveness and quickness).
 
Embrace the pace of the race.

Pro Wrestling is the only sporting event that would sell out an arena on Christmas Eve.  But I wouldn't be amongst the throng.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Me, either - although I will admit to watching Baron Von Rasche and Mad Dog Vachon in my younger days.
