Ok, let’s become the NIU of the past. I actually believe we can do this. We have some great recruiting going on. Need to capitalize on this. Neu maybe not the worlds best X and O guy, but his players play hard.

What can't happen is for us to shit the bed this year. Do that and any momentum is once again flushed. Back to back bowls is something you can really build on. Do that then you can have a shitter year without losing everything you have gained. You just gotta hope that shitter year does not turn into a shitter decade

If we go to a bowl, lose Mike, and replace him with a bad coach, we are just as boned as if we return to suckage this year.

Does he want the bigger job and the money (and pressure) that goes with that? Let’s hope he at least gets tested in that area as that would mean we stayed successful.

Whitford shows no ambition and we can see how far that gets him. I cant see Mike staying (assuming he gets opportunities) unless he loves BSU too much to leave.

Thats really the question what does he want to do. If somebody ever comes along and offers him millions to go coach somewhere he has to take it right? I mean he is not solich who is old and already made his Money.

Actually in 2010, Parrish went 4-8, so Parrish oblivion started in 2009. In 2010, we played an awful Purdue team, and it was our opportunity to finally beat them, but nope. Not gonna happen with a Parrish-led team.

Assuming long term success here, and modest pay raises as a result, it's still not a bed of roses without pressure. VERY long hours, a lot of aggravation. As we had success we'd lose assistants and have to rebuild constantly. If you are working as hard as these guys work, especially recruiting at this level, the idea of doubling pay and being on a bigger stage with more recognition somewhere, which is reasonable to expect if he moves on, is awfully hard to turn down. Especially with good credentials to return to coaching in the pros or at another college job even if he did not have success in the bigger job.
He would have to love BSU and Muncie a lot to pass that up and make this a long term gig. Success isn't all money, nobody would stay on any job long term at BSU if that were true. But...

BSU and the MAC is far more likely to downgrade FB than become a powerhouse. It's not coaching ability, the greatest coach in college football history could not expect to live the dream of making BSU big time in FB.

Sounds nice, but it's not grounded in reality. People didn't see Hoke leaving either. Money and support are thicker than blood and water.

I would agree with that. You get a big contract and if things don't work out, your finances look pretty good. Always another job available down the road even if not the HC gig. Let's hope he does well enough to face that decision.

Neu wins ten games next fall I will bet he leaves. Joey Lynch would be the probable next HC. Why? Because he wants it.

Money and support are thicker than blood and water. I think if Coach Neu has a very successful year, and feels he has a clear successor to keep the momentum rolling, he'll look for a better opportunity. I think he'd make sure the program can continue to grow.
