I'd put money on the latter.

Nothing to do but hope for the best! Go Broncos!

I don't think it'll (necessarily) be "crap culture". I think Lester could make a decent/normal/expected/general-positive culture that you'll find in many schools that are treading water or a little better. However, yeah, it sort of takes the wind out of everything.

However, to be fair, say we got Ferris' HC. I don't think the Culture would be any better. Can't really think of anyone who would provide a better Culture, except maybe Tryone Wheatley being a little young and vibrant and semi-famous from playing @UM + NFL. Aside from him, by default, I think Lester would be one who'd have the (slightly) best chance of bringing in a Better culture, since his roots are WMU + he's obviously followed us and realizes the cultural "Wow" factor we've had before he steps in. So I think there's a good chance he'll be A-OKAY on that front.

The real thing is -- the culture -- especially a Zany one like PJ brought -- can only be so good if you're winning.

I meant a winning culture vs the mediocre one we had for a long period of time.

Wow!

If we go 1-11 next year Kathy gets fired immediately.

Seems like they don't care. They obviously checked out on this hire.

Bet we don't hit double digit wins in his tenure

Oh bull ****!

Hey now. I know it's not great news that we had to resort to Lester as HC... and I thought about it myself, but no need reaching for the pistol!

I'd Uber if it's convenient and snappy. Heck, with hiring Tim Lester, SHE may need a beer, too! It's basically inducing labor upon me, right now...

Quote:I bet we don't go 1-11.

I bet we won't either. Going 4-8 or lower? We better NOT (but won't bet that we won't).

Why's everyone so negative?

I mean, I was hoping for the JMU coach, but we won't be able to judge Lester for 4 more years - tops. Give him a chance guys, geez.

The stud running backs will still get us to 7-5 this year, if they don't transfer.

+3

Absolutely giving him a chance, but i was honestly hoping we wouldn't have to repeat 4 years ago and could parlay this success into a proven name.

Agreed. I'm underwhelmed and not enticed, but at the end of the day, let's hope KB sees a strong leader and X's/O's guy in him. She's made far more good decisions in her tenure than bad ones. So cross our fingers and hope for the best.
