BAD NEWS!!

I heard from a reliable source today that BOTH Mike Ward and Matt Campbell are headed to Toledo, and both as co-coordinators. If this is true, I think GC has made a BAD mistake not offering some incentive to keep these guys in BG and he better get it in gear getting a HC at BG or he will lose a complete recruiting class!

I thought Campbell was already hired at Wyoming? I guess he would not have to worry about moving.

Why are we concerned about losing assistants that were part of the mediocrity of Brandon?

That would be bad news.

I don't want to see Ward at UT and as someone else said, didn't Campbell accept a gig at WY?

Two reasons immediately come to mind...

1) Sometimes it's just the head coach, rather than the entire staff. Who knows what these guys are capable of under a stronger leader?

2) Hello... Toledo? Do we want them knowing our secrets?

You obviously haven't been around BG football for very long or know these two guys. Mike Ward and his family are more "Falcons" than most people I know, but without a choice, he certainly has to do what is best for his family's well being! Makes me want to VOMIT!

The collar is getting tighter everyday on GC to make a great choice! This might even be a career making type decision for him.

Yes, I know Ward is a BG man through and through, but this program needed an overhaul. You know it and I know it. It's sad to see these guys go, but everyone is replaceable. I am sure that coaches that are just as capable will be found.

Mediocrity of Brandon? 31-17 MAC record in his tenure. I hope our next coach is "mediocre."

Which secrets? The unpredictable plays we call when it's 3rd and long (Either swing pass for minus 3 yards or quarterback draw directly into the d-line?)

Or the secrets of how to recruit guys who think every credit card is theirs, regardless of the name on it?

I'm sure the secrets will change a bit with a new coach!

Nice joke about the credit card issue. I suppose it's your fault if someone who works for you gets in trouble weekend, huh? We'll blame you for your workers' problems. And regarding the "secrets"? I think it's the secrets that made us average 29 points a game the last 6 years....those secrets.

Dude. It was tongue-in-cheek. I thought it was obvious, but apparently not.

And honestly, a football coach needs to have reign over his players on and off the field. So while you can't be with them every second of the day, you better leave a damn good, long-lasting message.

And P.S. 31-17 is a D.

cowboyjoe · Post by **cowboyjoe** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:39 pm

Dude..there are always going to be people in life that don't listen or conform. For Brandon it was a very minute percentage of his players getting in trouble over his 6 years. Dude....
