Sounds to me like a bitter wannabe coach. Get off it for a while...we're 8-4 and headed to a bowl game for the THIRD time in 5 years. We play the teams on the schedule...period.
Best overall record in the MAC this season with a LOADED team coming back in 2008.
Man, try being positive for once...

He didn't call players out in the media this year, the offense eventually found it's way to some balance, and the following is perhaps the best thing I saw this year. I'm sure everybody remembers '05 when Omar went down and the team basically tanked. When we lost Partridge and Haneline this year, we closed with 4 straight wins. The coaching staff has to get credit for that.
You play the schedule you are dealt. We played two BCS bowl teams on the road, so I don't think Brandon is ducking anyone and padding his record with easy wins. It's not his fault if the rest of the MAC can't hang. That's the league we're in.

Thank you Freak. Under Brandon, BG is 2-0 in bowls. Obviously those teams had winning records. When Brandon took the Falcons into W. Lafayette, Purdue was ranked 16th I believe.

Lifetime record of 38-23. 605 pct
Positives:
* Brandon is the first coach to take BG to three bowl games
* His winning pct. is third all-time among coaches with more than 2 years at the helm
* Brandon has as many winning seasons as Blackney and Stolz ... who combined to coach 19 seasons compared to Brandon's five.

I know there have been times I have hard on Brandon. It's like every time I start to get upset with him he goes and proves me wrong by doing a great job. After the EMU game I thought there was no hope for the defense. Than they played great the last 2 games. Special teams seemed hopeless last year.
Last year plenty of people were saying there is no way a coach can get a team back after they have tanked. They were wrong too. We have a lot to be excited for this postseason and next year should be even better. I still want that MAC championship though.
with pics like that, who the hell cares about brandon. Gonna have to start more of these conversations. It's worth the beating I take (and those that Brandon has in the recent past).
