We all know that since 2000, Montana has won a ton of DI games. It got me curious to see how we have done since 2010 to start the new decade compared to the rest of the conference and the division. (Note: all wins also include dII or lower. I threw this together quickly and didn't have time to adjust for non-DI wins)

1. Eastern Washington (42-13)
2. Montana State (37-13)

It's awesome to see EWU has the highest number of wins in the FCS since 2010, including with the challenging 2011 season, second only to NDSU. Pretty cool to see that success. Will EWU be the team of this decade? They have a chance! I see EWU having at minimum another couple of great seasons (especially if we can somehow hang on to Beau Baldwin). If we can continue to win, improve the facilities, maintain a solid coaching staff, and keep a strong recruiting pipeline, I don't see us slipping any time soon.

I'm worried about the sustainability of our Wide Receiver corps without Junior Adams. I am thankful that Edwards was coached under him and hopefully picked up on some of his tricks of the trade. Only time will tell, but we are stocked well for the time being.

We had some great wide receivers before Coach Adams ever set foot on campus. I have all the confidence in the world in Edwards. He has amazing work ethic and knowledge of the game we'll be just fine.
 
When was Bill Chaves hired as AD?
Who hired Beau Baldwin?
Who's brain child was the red turf?
...?

Eastern is fortunate.
 
I appreciate that everyone is very defensive over our coaches. I really do. It shows how great of a fanbase we have. I do not think for a second that Edwards will be a bad coach. I just think that with his thin resume, he needs to prove himself. :twocents:

I think that is too many wins for Montana. Didn't they have some 2011 games removed from the record for NCAA violations?

Yes, true. However, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they won those games regardless of the NCAA takesy backsies.
 
I'd be interested in seeing what this looks like since 2000. I know we are second to Montana in the Big Sky during that stretch, but I'd be willing to bet that our overall wins are still within the top 10-15 in the FCS.

Somehow, I have a problem giving them the benefit of the doubt. I remember when we were slapped with similar stuff in 2009, what was said about all of it back then by some Griz fans. I guess now they know what it feels like to be hit with some BS sanctions from the NCAA. Intentional or not, they didn't play within the rules as defined by the NCAA, and for that reason those wins don't count.

I was kind of interested in this as well, so I decided to do a little research today since I've got the day off. :mrgreen: This list isn't all-inclusive, but I thought I'd check out what the top three teams in the Big Sky looked like since 2000 and compare it with some of the more traditional 1-AA/FCS powers since then. GA Southern really dominated from 2000-2004, App State from 2005-2009, and NDSU more recently. Montana has been the most consistent team since 2000, however. With App State and GA Southern moving on, it looks like we're poised to move into that top Tier of FCS schools within the next few years (in terms over overall wins in the last 25+ years).

Montana: 152-39=80% (1st, Big Sky)
Appalachian State: 158-52=75% (1st, SOCON)
NDSU: 125-45=74% (1st, MVFC)
Georgia Southern: 119-57=68% (2nd, SOCON)
Northern Iowa: 118-55=68% (2nd, MVFC)
Eastern Washington: 109-62=64% (2nd, Big Sky)
Delaware: 109-65=63%
Sam Houston State: 99-69=59%
Montana State: 97-70=58% (3rd, Big Sky)
Youngstown State: 93-68=58%

Where do coaches learn more about their trade? Are there classes, courses, or training? Where can Edwards learn more than what he learned from Adams?

There are camps and courses. I would assume training would consist of his degree. I think the most value comes from experience and getting time to build a recruiting network. Having never been a recruiter, I cannot say how difficult this is or how long it takes. These are all things in which Edwards benefits from being coached under Adams. He inherits a school with a reputation for quality receivers, time to build his experience and networks (seeing as he is already stocked full with great receivers) and wisdom from his former coaches.

Like I said before, due to Edward's thin resume I am not willing to grant him the title of a great or even good coach until he proves himself with future receiving corps. Junior Adams was a great coach and to give such credit to a kid with almost no experience downplays the incredible asset Junior Adams was to our team.
