Playing EMU always worries me. They place us tough every year and have beaten us 3 in a row. We should worry abut them. Seems we either play down to them, or they rise to the occasion.

1 is 1 more than 0.

You guys aren't very good at this.

The last guy EMU hired with head coaching experience, Jim Harkema from Grand Valley, had "zero D-I wins" too.

Five years later he had a MAC championship, Cal Bowl win, and best overall record in the conference.

PJ's resume resembles the coaches they've hired since then.

Creighton and Martin both have it all over our guy based on proven successful experience.

Dear Broncos,
The new coach at Eastern, is Coach Creighton. He last coached at Drake University in Iowa. One thing that we hope works for us, is we hired a head coach. That was what determined the hire. No more assistant coaches, whether they came from the Big Ten or elsewhere. Ball State did it a few years ago with Pete Lembo, and that doesn't seem to have hurt them.

Dear Broncobelt,
Some of you obviously didn't get it. Saying he came from Creighton, is not the same as coming from Drake. I know you may not care about Eastern, and that's fine, but you should get the names correct.

Will be interesting to see who is more successful a few years into their jobs between Fleck, Martin, and Creighton. I've got my money on a two-horse race between Fleck and Martin.

Of those three, my bet is on Fleck. He gathers his wits this year, year after he's money.

Another coach rankings. They have Bowden in front of Solich and Martin in the top 4, it is a silly list. Of course they agree about our coach.

I have it on good authority our AD approached Martin about our vacancy in 2012 and he told her he was "not ready for a MAC head job" at that time.

Last year Fleck was the media darling. Now they have apparently seen the man behind the curtain.

Hopefully he has learned from his first year as a header and will get us going the right direction, beginning this season.

Agree, we can't just throw in the towel and call this season yet another learning experience. No reason why we as a fan group shouldn't expect to see improvement in the areas that coaches can control. Discipline, penalties, execution, preparation, decisions, etc.

We sure were lacking in those areas last year, rings hollow to blame the players any longer. That isn't acceptable, it's time to show you can coach as well.
