I think like a lot of fans, year one of Hendrickson did not go as plan and was very tough to watch.
My question is, that does this move give him more time. I think this season doesn't really matter since we are leaving the MVFC, but moving to a easier conference the following season if the results are still bad, do we look elsewhere or how much time do we give him?
Does the move to OVC buy Coach Hendrickson Time
I would say probably not. Everyone involved is pretty well aware of the strength of the two conferences. We should improve our win count by at least 2-3 games moving to the OVC, so if we don't see at least that, then I think the seat would be pretty hot.4EverPurple&Gold wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 1:24 pm I think like a lot of fans, year one of Hendrickson did not go as plan and was very tough to watch.

They usually do 3-year contracts, I think (I don’t know for sure that that’s the case with Myers though). This will be year #2.

He will Coach out his contract. WIU can't afford 2 colors of helmets, no way they can afford to buyout a contract.

Due to financial constraints, the team will be going with only one helmet design/color combination this year. In the past they have usually had two.

Set a team goal as an incentive to EARN the right to wear an alternate uniform NEXT year. Does not have to be simply Ws but could be complicated. Maybe a combination of Ws, GPA, hours of community service, work in the weight room, etc.
Embrace the pace of the race.
