He’s 1-19 at Portage Northern. 0-16 in conference.

But John Wooden winked at him once!

He got a much longer chance than he deserved.

With Clayton’s about 15 years of service at WMU he deserved more of a chance.
Will now be quite interesting where WMU’s great recruiting class ends up and how many other players leave.

Really? Since he was a part of the collapse of the program, I fail to see why he was given a chance at all.

Certainly as an EMU guy I’m sad to see him go. Was really hoping to see that extension.

Why so he could embarrass EMU again?

Sneaking suspicion #2 was red shirting due to health, not to mention the Juco wing they had on the line if things had been made right with the contract. Character of the kids was unbelievable to come back from 0-13, not to mention from the 2nd half vs Toledo. It started to click, they didn't quit, wonder why?...too late I guess but this stuff takes time. Best of luck to the new staff. Hopefully they get the support this one never did. Coach K first 3 years in acc was 6. 4 and 3 wins. Hey, at least the search firm's getting taken care of! Scott Barnes must be proud of his protege! Everyone knows you're losing a good man. Most don't realize you're losing a good coach. 2 years man...wow.

Clayton did a great job. The new AD owes Glenn from the search firm a favor and a $50K paycheck. It’s all a scam.

Totally agree

I would get a chuckle if WMU hired Saddi only because the first new big hire by the new AD would be a former Bronco, when people were angry that KB was for only hiring former Broncos.

KB didn't only hire former Broncos at all, and the problem with the TL hire was not that he played here.

Pat Ferschweiler? He was hired by Kathy
