Football Dilema

The story behind Downing isn't important, the fact is, he came here and stunk it up like no other. He's had a chance to be the head guy, and looks like that job isn't for him, at least not here anyway.

I agree there's plenty of coaches that would take that money to be the head coach, or to improve their resume. You see it at the high school level all the time, and it's probably not much different at the college level.

I think the Bears will have to win 2 out of these next 3 games for Downing to keep his job. He's gotta win against SD and Sac St. and give a good showing against UM. If he does, then that gives us 4 wins for year.

Downing should be fired regardless. The last coach to win 4 games here was fired so Jay has already set the bar there. The other key stat to watch is attendance. For the last game it was 2,714 (avg for the year of 3,729). This regime has consistently put a lousy team on the field and alienated supporters - this is not a difficult decision.
