Coach Orr Interviews at Monmouth University

[BillyLP]

Is it possible they could have interviewed Stone for the job but reported Orr just because they knew it was someone from BG? I would think he would be a more likely candidate for the Monmouth job than Orr...Or maybe my rose colored lenses are keeping me from looking at the true state of our program. I'm hoping it's more the former than the latter.

Maybe Orr just doesn't feel he should have "fallen" down to the BGSU level, feels he should be moving up and forward, and is scratching an itch. He may not dislike being at BGSU, but simply doesn't see it as the level or type of place he wants to settle. His kid is finishing high school, he is content for now, but that is quickly coming to an end. Meanwhile, his program might have scored a regular season title, but isn't exactly breaking free of the pack.

I think the new building, the rise of financial support for the program, and the non-horrible level of the product on the court leave BGSU in a good place to advance from, including whomever the next coach is, whenever that should happen.

Whatever is the case, all parties need to keep their powder dry. If he has even a modestly great year, he's likely gone. If he has a modestly bad year, same story, different reason.

Orr is a good guy, and really not a bad coach. If I were him I'd go after a job at a DIII Christian school where I could be happy, find success and finish out my coaching career.
