Per Spokesman, Sanders headed to Montana to coach the defense and taking Jenkins with him.
Eh whatever. I have a hard time caring while the team is run by Best. I don't really care if coaches and players move up to FBS teams. It sucks but its to be expected. It is unacceptable that we're losing players and coaches to other FCS teams.
What is going to be interesting and revealing is how successful Sanders is at Montana. If Montana's defense does well next season then it was Eastern and Best holding Sanders back, if he does poorly he isn't a good DC.
I'm guessing Best won't be able to hire anyone decent because of the few seasons left on his contract and his seat getting hotter. I bet he promotes from within or hires a washed DC with decent experience like Copp was.
I look at bad decisions like Best starting Taylor and Bell over Schakel and hiring an OC and QBs coach with no play calling and QB experience and think that is the dumb stuff we see from the outside. What dumb shit is he doing inside the program? Looking at coaches that will take a lateral move, not even an upgrade, makes me think I'm right.
Sure lets ignore the cancer. That always works right?Instead of playing the blame game we need to just go with Next Man Up.
Wondering as well...clock is ticking.Wonder who we'll get as DC now.
Looks like I was right. Zach Bruce elevated to DC.I'm guessing Best won't be able to hire anyone decent because of the few seasons left on his contract and his seat getting hotter. I bet he promotes from within or hires a washed DC with decent experience like Copp was.
I'm not surprised we hired internally at all. Obviously excited for him, but I think you're right about the dynamics here.
Decent at times and god awful at others. The second half performance against Montana where they held them to 7 points might be one of the reasons they wanted him.The defense showed some improvement last year, but still wasn’t very good. Sander employed a defense that felt too gimmicky and complex.
