Huger has a 6 year contract

These things are dumb. He could leave any time he wants but if he puts forth a terrible team and is incapable of filling out his roster for three seasons in a row than we have to pay him for 6 years.

That's college athletics for you. Idiotic contracts that give all the leverage to coaches, who many times, have no proven resume as a head coach. BGSU gave him the same contract it gave Jans, when clearly Jans was in much more demand at the time. If BG wanted Huger that bad, they could have hired him before Jans. It makes even less sense given the status of the BG program at the time of the hire, the money that had just been generously gifted to the program, and the schools history with rotting out contracts of basketball coaches. The craziest part is Huger is far from the worst contract at the school.

Right now...he's on year one of a four year deal...

I've given up on Huger. The Akron game and the CMU game was the final straw. No in game adjustments and terrible roster substitutions. Akron gave us that game with 31 fouls and 48 free throws and we couldn't take advantage. Akron had a 6'5 player as it's tallest player and he sat Wiggins from one media time out to the other and had Lillard playing in the paint. Against CMU had a 15 pt lead and rested Wiggins, Caldwell and Turner at the same time and CMU made a run. Team was unprepared against Erie. Really lacked focus last night. Going to Northern is rough, with the 6 hour bus ride but that's not an excuse for giving up 58 points in the second half, and that is without us fouling them in a close game. A 30 pt blowout and they still get 58 points with only going to the line 6 times. This team has the most athleticism we have had in years but coaching staff can't pull it together. On a side note, has anyone attended any practices. How much does Anthony Stacey teach these players. I can't fathom seeing him be on the court teaching anything with his weight. He appears out of breath when I watch him during the games. Back to Huger, I hope he can turn things around. We have the talent, if only they all can put it together at the same time.

No bus ride excuse. They flew private. Probably thanks to Frack.

I gave up on Huger last year. Using the “eye test” and a little intuition, you could tell that Huger is/was a below average coach. I said last year we will hang around .500 for the rest of his tenure. Everyone said the proverbial “wait till next year’s recruiting class comes in”, and look where were at now. Hot Garbage. And our wins this year are over inflated because we scheduled garbage teams to front load our schedule, like that garbage tournament we played in. Were back to Louis Orr all over again, where Huger will be allowed to rot out the final 3 years of his contract. I certainly don’t have any level of trust in our inept athletic department to make things better. They seem to turn a blind eye to and take no responsibility for underachieving programs. But hey, our cheerleaders placed 5th in the national cheerleading championships! They’ll make sure to get on twitter and remind us 15 times about that! When it comes to explaining why their choosing to continue to let Mike Jinx, Michael Huger and Jennifer Roos continue to underachieve at their jobs, we won’t hear a peep. Maybe it’s time for new leadership in the Athletic Department.

You've asked for new leadership in athletics. Are you aware that we HAVE a new leader, who's only in his 2nd year back at BG?
Seems to me some of you who post almost LOVE when BG teams struggle. It gives you something to bitch about. I'm not happy to see what's happening with both basketball programs, but especially the women's team, which had been a flagship for the MAC for many years.
I had a chance to see both teams in person on Sat., though I've watched both on ESPN3 for most of the season. I DO feel the guys have a chance to improve, but less optimistic about the women's team. The ladies have overall more experience, but definitely don't seem to have improved. It would seem that the overall lack of coaching experience (asst. coaches) doesn't help. I couldn't figure out what the asst. does, holding up a clipboard ,while either the one experienced coach or Roos is talking. I mentioned previously the apparent lack of a few "press breaker" plays on Sat., when OU put pressure with a lot of success.

As to the guys, blowing a 15 point lead allegedly due to "relaxing ", would definitely fall on coaching a still young group on HOW TO WIN.

BG is paying a lot of money to a lot of different coaches in hopes that they “learn how to win”. The first question Moose should have been asked in the interview was regarding the current contracts of these coaches, and how he would maneuver if it goes nowhere. It’s one thing to pay what you can’t afford, it’s another to have no plan to solve it. BG fans get ready. Another article about the lack of funds will be fed to media shortly.

Well then, he needs to ACT like a leader. An athletic leader doesn’t let 3 of his/her 4 biggest programs continue to be bottom feeders just because “we don’t have the money to buy them out”. A leader doesn’t stand for his D1 football program to get beat by a D2 program, at home, or his basketball programs to get blown off the court nightly. A leader is innovative. A leader finds a way to get things done. Moose has shown NONE of this. Sure, he inherited a mess and has to deal with others mistakes, but DEAL WITH THEM!! Don’t let the problems continue to embarrass your department and your university. And so far, he has done just that. Jinx should have been shown the door at the end of last season, Roos should had been shown the door as soon as that bus pulled into the Stroh parking lot early this morning and Huger, without some miraculous turn around, needs to be shown the door at the end of this season. I mean its year 3 for him and there has been NO, NONE, ZERO progress on the court. Year 3, at the latest, is when a coach should have a team turned around. Jans did it in one year for Christ sakes! Moose needs to find a way to get it done, clean house, and get these programs back to where they had been and should be at. That’s what a leader does.

Do you have any idea what he's done behind the scenes? No, I didn't think so...
Money talks, but you have to have it in order for it to do so. Pony up the buyout cash and I'm sure that everything that you want done will get done. Until then all of your complaining is nothing more than bad gas. If you would, though, please start farting in the wind because you're stinking the place up.

Your wrong sir. Mike Jinx, Jennifer Roos and Michael Huger is the cause of that stench.

It really doesn't help to mute all of the annoying people on here if others keep quoting them to argue...

Call me a pollyanna, but I'm actually pretty happy with Huger's time here. I think there has been a clear increase in talent and there will almost certainly be an increase in wins this year. There have definitely been some frustrating losses, to be sure, but our five leading minutes-getters are Freshman, Sophomore, Sophomore, Junior, Freshman, in that order. They're going to have some bad losses. If they lose out from here, then I might change my opinion, but for now, I've been satisfied and have enjoyed watching them (save the NIU & ODU games).

What Senior has had that much playing time? There's only one on whole team and he can't possibly have played 3rd most minutes.

You're right. I typed it too fast. Wiggins is a junior. Editing now.

[Globetrotter]

The Sophomore does the same dumb thing he did January 25th of 2017 on January 25th 2018. That's concerning.
