Coaching rumors

I keep seeing people (including our own local media) say coaching at Montana affords you more exposure than coaching at EWU. I don't believe that to be true at all anymore . I think winning affords you more exposure, and because of that EWU and Baldwin have been on ESPN and all over national sports coverage plenty lately. the EWU brand is definitely more recognizable than the UM brand over the last decade. Partly because of great marketing, the red turf, big upsets and the national championship, but more so just because of the winning . Natty game, three semi finals, the quarters against Nova and the Sam Houston game this year account for 6 total games on ESPN2 in 4 years. Definitely way more than Montana. And of course there's the random things like EWU being discussed on Game Day and the EWU flag flying at several gamedays. Vernon on Jim Rome. Stuff like that that all adds up. You just don't see Montana with that type of exposure anymore.

It kinda does, they were just on 60 minutes a couple of weeks ago...

Damnit... how did I miss that joke in my post. Well played :thumb:
 
Talk about White HOT - Florida, Nebraska and Michigan . . . .GOOD FOR HIM!
"Nebraska also has shown serious interest in McElwain, and there are indications that Michigan would pursue him, sources said."

You must be joking, nobody knows about EWU outside of a 50 mile radius of Cheney and Colin Cowherd....theres a reason people keep saying it...because its true!

I laughed at college game day this year when they were talking about North Dakota State and the announcers asked who they were playing that week, "some school out of Montana". Haha, now that's brand recognition...
 
National spotlight build up for this year's FCS Kickoff was defiantly lacking... NCAA and ESPN to blame there. I am guessing there might be more of it next season.

Well, I guess we can all take away one thing from the Baldwin rumors.....Montana can't beat us in anything...


Ya you're right, I cant believe he didn't go out infront of the media..3 days before he plays Montana and say "yes everyone, I might be leaving to coach the team we play this week, sorry" :lol: :lol: :lol: You guys are truly fucking morons over here....not that I think Baldwin will be our coach, but my god you guys are like little 14 yr old girls gossiping in the hallway about the detention they might get after school...holy hell this fan base is hilarious.


Keyboard warrior here. This person would never have the balls to say this to any of our faces.

Ya because Washington is known for its super tough badass types...I hear the tech babies out of Seattle can kick the ass of a methhead from Cheney.

I believe that distinction belongs to someone else.
Saw this first on ROOT SPORTS DURING THE MSU UM GAME

I wonder if coach Baldwin get his wish and be the next Griz football coach?? 60k pay raise, a real football field and more than ten fans. Hmmmm I would bail 2!

Haha, looking at the books, Baldwin made $152K last year, Old Man Delaney made $161k last year. That Montana Math adds up to $60k, nice job....

Some of this smack is getting old and is terrible smack. Griz have a good team, Eagles have a good team. Griz have great fans and some not so great, and so do the Eagles. It's gonna be a great game on Saturday. I dislike the Eags because they're a competitive rival (more than MSU is) and they have an ugly field IMO, but I respect a quality opponent and I hope like hell the Griz will win. Time to put on my shades so my eyes don't go blind. 8-)

This, lets talk football.

Both teams are really good, it should be a great game. Both teams will show some new wrinkles that weren't there a month ago, so it should be interesting. This game always seems to come down to the 4th quarter and they are always entertaining.

Looking forward to a great game and truth is, most Griz fans you meet in person are really good peeps...
