Another great vid for the PT Barnum of mid major self promotion.
Bill Cubit is a good man and a good coach. But he's gone and he is not coming back.
Get over it!
WMU did the right thing letting him go. The program was never going to win a MAC championship under his leadership. He was owned by CMU (lost 5 straight) and his teams choked in far too many big games (think 2006, 2007 & 2008 when WMU was probably the best team in its division and should have one at least one division and/or league championship).
If PJ does not win the MAC this season or next - and/or loses consistently to a fundamentally inferior CMU program -then he should be held to the same standards as Cubit and be removed.
PJ was hired to change the program's culture and shake-it-up. It had stagnated under Cubit and was never going to reach a championship level. That said, it also never would have dropped to a 1-11 season, but sometimes you have to take one step backwards to move three forward.
I'm not thrilled with PJ's quirks, but his hire was a bold and courageous one by WMU. If it works, great. If not, next-man-in. So far, at least, he owns CMU, and Bonamego knows it (even if Chiprule does not).
WMU's program has got to expect championships and not settle for 2nd and 3rd place seasons. That is who we are and who we need to be as an institution.
