It's all going to be ok...

Football Alumni should be happy he took a nice chunk of speech to recognize them and talk about wanting to connect with them and have his players connect with them. It was great! He wants us on campus, at practice and in the locker room sharing our experiences as a Leatherneck football player with ...

I especially liked his bringing in football alumni, and the people of Macomb. Say what you will, we need their backing to help make this program all it can be.

Well said...plus the support of our students!

Does anyone know any of the contract details? Someone may have already said this, but I have been away from the site for week and did not feel like sifting through the what seems like 100's of new posts. I heard it's a 4 year contract that stair steps in salary...plus I'm sure there are other perks...

Coach Fisher just called me and we talked for about 45 minutes about a lot of things regarding Leatherneck football. He's already hired 3 offensive coaches (sorry I can't give names), one is coming from Richmond, one has coached here in the past prior to Nielson and one other that he's keeping under...

From day one, my only real concern with Fisher was what kind of staff he could bring in to Macomb. It is late in the game, certainly "two minute drill" territory and he needs to fill every assistant coach position. At this stage with a lot of years at FBS programs, would it be possible fo...

Any reactions from current players on Twitter? Not thrilled that Fisher doesn't really have Midwest or MVFC experience. Ash didn't either...he's been spending most of his time the 9 years in CA and TX and he even mention that. He said he can get a direct flight from Peoria to Dallas non stop. So wh...
