At this point I don't even care. I'm just like how much more can Best tank the football team.

About that, Chad Germer comes from an NAIA school after coaching oline at Montana from 2015-23 which probably indicates he was fired. Why are we hiring Montana's failed coaches.I agree E-Wu Tang Clan , good coaches dont want to work for a clown coach.
Actually, Chad Germer might not be a bad hire after all. He has been a coach on some teams that have excelled at times. He does have a ton of experience and maybe AB can learn from his guy.About that, Chad Germer comes from an NAIA school after coaching oline at Montana from 2015-23 which probably indicates he was fired.

The other coaches that he is promoting could be for variety of reasons. Maybe money, etc. I agree overall that promoting young guys with no experience as a coaches is not very smart.
COACHING has a lot to do with success. Players can develop under the right coaching. Boise State has developed players and the winning culture without getting 4-5 star recruits. I was talking with a friend of mine who used to coach JC football in california. He said that a lot of these 4-5 star recruits are a little tough to coach. Sometimes they would drop down to JC football to get a second chance . He said sometimes these guys would get outworked by less heralded football players and they would get weeded out even at the JC level .
One of his former players would up at Boise and played for Chris Petersen at the time. He said that the year that they beat Oklahoma on the statue of Liberty play. ,that team had six players drafted in the NFL. Only one player on that team was a 3 star recruit. He said that Chris Petersen was after four things at the time when evaluating a player. 1. character on and off the field . 2. Good student, ( he said that if a kid had talent but was not smart in the class room at the high school , it was a waste of time because he would not be able to compete academically in the college level. It also meant that he could not absorb a playbook. 3. Can the kid work like a dog and if was willing to pay the price to be exceptional . 4. Did the kid want to get to the next level, if the kid has those aspirations it meant that he had to excel at the college level to get to the next level. Mind you these players did have talent but CP took these less heralded players to another dimension. Also, Boise state competes against football programs that have deeper pockets, higher academic reputations etc, They still compete, why? Coaching and the AD have high standards.
EWU had that type of culture at one time under Beau Baldwin. we had and let it slip away. That's even worse because squandering hard earned opportunities is a football program killer. We are basically at square one again. We did a lot with very little under BB>

Best sucks at really feeling out talent I think, in both coaches and players. I think he pays attention to resumes too much. Our last DC had experience coordinating in the FBS. Look how that worked out. Our current DC has NFL experience, and has yet to improve the defense save for a few stand out players. That Chad Germer dude has a great resume but football is a job where you have to say current with the the trends and schemes. Coaches get old and think they know everything there is to know about football. Look at Pete Carroll.Actually, Chad Germer might not be a bad hire after all.

Everyone is getting wrapped up in fundraising for better facilities to attract better recruits. Paying too much attention on star ratings and whatnot. Eastern gained a reputation for finding under recruited and late developing players like Boise State. I feel like Eastern could have totally followed Boise State's trajectory. Now that's all shot to hell.
Funny you mention Chris Petersen. Best basically copied Petersen's "OKG" or "Our kind of guy" with his "EKG" or "Eagle kind of guy." Sucks that's basically all he copied from Petersen. He really hasn't found any diamonds in the rough except for Chism.
