Not to get off topic (because I think its great that Coach Mahler is getting another shot somewhere!), but does anyone know what ever happened to former BG SID Steve Barr? He was always a good guy, a pleasure to work with even as an ignorant student, and a couple of us were just wondering where he may be working nowadays. Anyone?

Mel Mahler's contract will not be renewed.
Jan. 30, 2004
Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green State University Athletic Director Paul Krebs has announced the University will not renew the contract of men's soccer coach Mel Mahler.
