Grabbing a top 3 star QB recruit to replace the guy who went to Minn with Fleck. Some surprise 'get' to excite fans and get them cranked up again.

Showing people it's about the players, the program (including alumni), the university including entire athletic department, and community - not himself.

Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting. Hopefully in the GR area, like the Peej made in-roads to. A lot of talent right in our backyard. Look at all the West MI teams in the HS football state finals lately.

I was at Airway Lanes last night and WMU happen to be having a recruiting event there. Pinkham was there. I'd guess that means he's staying on. Lester showed up later on.

...winning the MAC in Year 1. Not an unfair expectation for whoever was going to be named head coach. The cupboard is full.

Don't take it from me, though - take it from Lester, who said in his press conference that winning the MAC next season is the expectation.

That doesn't mean anything. Pinkham and Kenney are class guys. Tough situation but they are working for their employer while on salary.

RE: Lester can silence a lot of critics by........
Head coaches need to sell themselves. In some respects they are the program, and certainly with respect to recruits they need to advertise themselves. Fleck go blasted for this for several years, but certainly as most would acknowledge now, kids believing in him, and what he was selling, was the difference between getting two star kids and three star kids. He was able to persuade players with P5 talent to come to a G5 school. This seemed to be the standard with him rather than the exception. There are a lot of good attractive schools competing for the same kids we are going to be recruiting. All have advantages and disadvantages to the respective recruits. It is usually a coach that makes the difference. The head coach is important. Lester will need to sell himself, along with the program, just like Fleck did, if we want to win the recruiting wars, which is probably the biggest difference maker between OK seasons and great seasons.
