Coaching News
After our impressive 4 year run, my career coaching record is back above .500 (58-57). Despite my turning around one of the worst programs in recent history, and 4 consecutive bowl wins (including one BCS bowl), I have yet to be offered another coaching position. I don't care though, I wont even consider leaving until I'm hoisting a national championship trophy over my head. I do recieve some bad news this offseason, as Gerald Hatcher has retired from his position of scout (Northwest region). I've just realized that this news is acutally meaningless since I cannot yet recruit any state in that region. so-long Gerry.
