Huger has 3 years left, what a clown show...

Posting on it, certainly not looking to purchase it.

"But at the end of the day they gave it to a winning coach who took the basement team of the MAC all the way to 2nd place. But to many that still isn’t good enough."

You said it yourself. Jans finished 5th. If we want to use the what if scenario, we can do that to. Bowling Green was playing for as high as the 1 or 2 seed in the final game. Richaun Holmes suffers a concussion. BG loses that game. Holmes sits the first round MAC Tournament game, and plays limited minutes vs. Eastern Michigan when it loses, wearing a towel over his head on the bench. Woulda shoulda coulda works both ways.

The basement teams were coached by Huger. If you think Huger is a better coach than Jans, more power to you.

Richaun Holmes wasn't an NBA draft pick until Jans.

Holmes played 28 minutes. That’s not limited. 18pts 5reb 2blk vs EMU..

All I’m saying is we are so quick to destroy Huger because we don’t like how he coaches. At the end of the day the guy had success. Clearly better basketball is expected moving forward. Not debating that.

How will we all react if Huger gets us to the NCAA Touney? Will we still want him fired? What if he makes back to back NCAA’s? Is his time here all but over no matter what?

If Huger finds a way to guide this team to the NCAA tourney I'll probably give him an extension and he can stay around for longer. I've seen enough of his coaching style to know that the only way that happens is if he find another Turner level player to come in here and carry the team. If the guy is capable of finding more than one of those guys and getting them to BG then he's worth letting stick around for awhile. Dakich found McLeod then never found another player of that ilk. Orr found Holmes and didn't even know what he had. Llarranaga was our last coach to recruit multiple MAC POY type players, and he moved on.

If Huger can find us more legit POY candidates then he can stick around. If he can't then he needs to be gone, because we know he can't actually COACH.

Of course he has had 7 years of more bad than good so he really shouldn't even get an opportunity to meet that hypothetical. It'll be interesting to see next year because he's losing what little talent this team actually had. And I suspect he's going to be losing even more fans in the seats, because most of us are tired of paying for this crap.

Not sure how you could defend the AD at this point. If Rodgers doesn’t want to make the change, then he should probably go too.

This post here shows how disconnected some here are from reality.

To suggest firing the president of one of Ohio's leading academic institutions over some bouncy ball thing?

It's not going to happen. This isn't Ohio State. We have more class than that.

If the President feels that athletics is just here to field teams and lose, then yes, I would want a new President. I’m not saying Rodgers wants or thinks that, but if he’s going to stick with Moosbrugger, that’s basically what his actions are saying.
You don’t have to agree with it…You make it clear you don’t know what you are talking about…providing BGSU press releases to back your points shows everyone this.
Huger is back next year whoever the AD is unless a booster or boosters has had enough, but I don’t think anyone with that kind of money cares.

What if......we filled none of the remaining scholarships. Let all of the coaches go but Huger, If people xfered didn't allow him to throw out any new scholarships and played no out of conference games. We would pause the program for 3 years essentially. Let the money build up in the trust and just play walk ons....maybe Elsasser has more kids or something.

I have long thought we shouldn't have a football program. It's essentially irresponsible to do so. It seems pretty evident we shouldn't have a basketball program either. If we are just playing pretend and can't really compete we shouldn't be here.

We have a coach that doesn't even run an offense. It's crazy.

You are being a little extreme but only a little. We absolutely should not waste money on a football program any longer. Basketball and Hockey should be our top two sports. It doesn’t take much more money to compete nationally in basketball. It’s much easier than football.

[TommyG]

Whoa….be careful talking about getting rid of Football.

A certain poster on the board will try to report you and possibly look into legal action.

[hammb]

I'd love to see us jettison football in favor of really investing in basketball and hockey. Although I think we have to keep football to maintain D1 status so we're probably stuck with it.

Of course what were seeing is money alone isn't enough anyhow. Our basketball program is funded better than any in the conference and has spent accordingly on coaching and recruiting. But if you're gonna put people in charge that don't know how to allocate those funds them what does it even matter

[Buckeye Bullitt 93]

Just spit-balling here, Charlie Ernst down at Findlay does a nice job. I wonder if he would be interested in this gig ? He'd probably coach for half of Hugers salary.

Bob Moosbrugger has guaranteed Michael Huger 10 years and over 3.5 million dollars.

Bob Moosbrugger did not hire Michael Huger.

It does not surprise me that you would get this wrong given the innumerable times you have falsely tried to blame Moosbrugger for hiring Mike Jinks.

Nothing in the comment you quote suggest Moosbrugger hired him. WE all know that no single contract is 10 years. It was obviously a reference to the extensions and the totality of his tenure. There was literally no reason to attack the poster for that.
None.

Please stop looking for reasons to be hostile.

[Diemilkweed]

Wow. I read maybe 6 or 7 of the posts in this thread and the toxicity is too much.

It is 100% possible to disagree with someone without being disagreeable. But some of you have totally thrown that out the window.

We were talking about needing someone to pay attention to this place, to at least approve new members if nothing else.

Why would a new member stick around here?

The quote is demonstrably untrue. It's just a fact that Bob Moosbrugger had nothing to do with first six years of Michael Huger's contract. It was Chris Kingston that hired Huger. Moosbrugger inherited that six-year contract.

Go away. You don't watch bouncy ball.

[BleedOrange]

I'm done with all the back-and-forth s**t between Schadenfreude and whoever else. Nobody gives a f***. It's a distraction from basketball. Enough.

Billy, was the Conference USA school that gave contract extensions during Covid Louisiana Tech?
