Potential Head Coaches

[Seattle Eagle]

I’m not going to wait until the season’s progressed to voice that I agree with mostly everything I’ve read in this thread. I’ve seen enough. It’s time to get back to our winning ways. EWU has never been a perenial cellar-dwellar in the Big Sky until Coach AB. You can say that college football has changed markedly in the past 5 years and that’d be true, but it’s up to the leadership to figure it out. I’d like to see something new for sure.

Bingo. If there was a season to get out of the funk we've been in since 2021, it would have been last season. But we decided to F around and lose to Drake.

Lots of speculation here, but do we even know if Best is on the hot seat? My concern is that he isn’t, and we’re fated to be another Portland St. who has a “great guy” as a coach who will never be fired because the admin doesn’t care.

What I said is straight from a former player who is still friends with current players and boosters/alums. Its about as facts based as you can get.

Oh we won't be Portland State. I wish being like Portland State is all we had to worry about. It will be much worse than that. There were calls to get rid of football or drop down to D2 or get rid of the football team WHEN WE WERE WINNING. When donor and alumni support dries up and athletics become an bigger anchor and an already budget constrained school it will just add fuel to the fire of people asking to drop a division or get rid of athletics altogether. Eastern will end up D2 like CWU or getting rid of the football program like WWU did in 2008.

No, keeping Best will cause irreparable damage to Eastern football and athletics as a whole if it hasn't already. I hope the new AD isn't that dumb and doesn't want a permanent black mark on his resume of having destroyed an athletic department he was put in charge of but who knows.
