Let’s face it—the coaching world knows Neu is lame duck next year barring a miracle season. We aren’t going to attract any up and comers for a one year gig. So Neu’s options are few in terms of hiring new staff. The guy at Butler was really good at NIU so you hope to recapture that. Breathlessly awaiting an GA being promoted to RB coach. Honestly, Kev should be back coaching RB. He’s not exactly distinguished himself as QB coach. How about a quality up and coming coach who may be in line for a head coaching position in the near future…if successful as a DC in a division 1 program… Just more excuses for mediocrity from some. |

Excuse for mediocrity? How about understanding that program is not where a young up and coming coach is gonna come burn his career for one year and then the house gets cleaned. Barring an unbelievable year of overachieving next season Neu is done. |

We could a, would a, should a have done better. But mediocre defines what being a FBS MAC program is all about... doesn't it? How much better? At what cost? Our funding and existence at best allows a "championship" run in the worst conference perhaps once every 4-5 years. If all goes well. |
