Are we better...probably. Should we be better than we are now? ...probably. Is SL the guy who's going to build a championship team? I don't think so

Bingo.

The only thing that keeps me from wanting to move on is that I am a bigger basketball fan and would rather move on there first.

Impossible to think that someone like Mike Hart couldnt infuse much more life into the program.

Getting a positions coach from a P5 school is going to be hard moving forward. Mike Hart makes more as RB coach than Loeffler does now. I think FCS or D-2 are where we'll have to look unless someone like Hart just wants to run their own program for the sake of pride.

Hart interviewed at WMU and didn't get the job.

WMU pays a lot more than we do, too. $800k+ while I think BG will struggle to exceed $600 for their next contract.

Really? I had no idea. Why?

Really? I had no idea. Why?

A $550 million donation a couple years ago, $50 million of which went towards endowing athletics, has a big part to do with it. It churns out about $2.5 million a year to cover administrative costs and allows them to pay coaches much more competitively than most of the MAC.

What about Kent State? They interviewed Gino who also interviewed at WMU.

I’m pretty sure he left UC and now has a job as Wisconsin’s QB coach under Fickell.

He definitely isn’t the guy.

I agree with what everyone else has kind of referred to. The program is in better shape in terms of talent, but I’d argue the amount of progress is actually behind what I would expect in year 4. I’d expect the program to have progressed this much after year 2 or year 3 at the latest.

I think deep down he has to know that they are no where close to winning a title. He’s backed himself into a corner with next year being the year they finish towards the top. He may hope, wish and pray they have that kind of year, but he’s gotta know that they are miles away from winning with this scheme. He’s lying to himself if he thinks they are a piece or two away from being a good offense. Crazy to me that he watches the tape every week and doesn’t see that what he’s trying to do isn’t working.

I agree that a decent offensive coach could probably come in and compete for a title, but you’re never going to win scoring 20 points a game.

His only chance at a 6 win season is if Terian Stewart comes back and is as good as I think he is. If they could find a way to build around him and get him 20-25 good touches a game, I think he could be dynamic enough to really produce against MAC defenses. I am not sure if he has the vision to play in the NFL (tough to tell last year if some of his reads were bad line play, bad play calling, or him not hitting the hole correctly), but he’s a NFL caliber athlete.

I knew Longo was OC. But that’s interesting - I saw a Wisconsin recruit thank Wisconsin for an offer and tag Gino in the tweet. Wonder what that was about.

[gspointer]

Guess you get what you pay for. Not really competitive with salary.

Maddox Kopp committed to Miami-OH. Another QB off the board.

[Tony4BG]

Gino went to Wisconsin as TE Coach

[roguewarrior]

Possibility to retain Anders was left open, if he doesn’t get an offer to his liking.

Isn’t Gabbert back? This is fascinating.

He entered the portal but then I saw on a list that he was returning but no news anywhere
