It isn't a tough spot to coach, it is an incredibly difficult place to be a successful coach.

Prediction: Umass makes a bowl before EMU. I'm even leaning towards 2 or 3 bowl wins.

My thoughts exactly. Timing is strange. Game plan is in.

It happens. Miami did the same thing before the UMass game. Probably for the same reason.

Probably hoping to lure one of the head coaches of Grand Valley State or Wayne State.

Sag Valley State's Jim Collins may be a better coice. He's built a good program. The GVSU coach did not have to build it, just maintain it. Winters at Wayne St may be on the decline.

Unbelievable. English's career in the college ranks is finished.

The fact that it was recorded makes me think that this kind of rant had happened before - and this time someone was prepared to record it.

Was he at Rutgers during the Terry Shea years? We had a DC who was black and the Cal connection would fit with Shea who came from Stanford. I remember my friends and I heckling the DC, who used to sit in a booth right above our seats. He used to keep the window open and yell curses strung together nonstop into his headset. Eventually he would get tired of hearing us and close the glass.

Nope, not him. But it does fit his MO!

RE: EMU Fires English
Sounds like English should have been paying attention to what Bowden is doing at Akron.

Quote:A few weeks ago, that thought had to be haunting Coach Terry Bowden and his University of Akron football players.

Consider this score: Ohio 43, Akron 3.

That was the homecoming game for the Zips. When it was over, the Zips were 1-5 in Bowden's second year as coach.

That came after being 2-22 in two years with Rob Ianello. Three years in a row of 1-11, with a fourth looming.

Bowden didn't sleep much that night.

He has seen a lot in football -- coaching everywhere from Division III to Auburn in the SEC. His worst season ever was 3-7 in 1983, when he was a 26-year-old rookie head coach at Salem State in West Virginia. He resigned after a 1-5 start with Auburn in 1998.

But he'd never experienced anything quite like losing 16 of his first 17 games, like being embarrassed on his own field at homecoming -- a game where his team was flagged for a dozen penalties and seemed out-of-control as some of the flags were for personal fouls and misconduct violations.

Bowden talked to his father, the legendary Bobby Bowden, the former Florida State coach.

The theme of the conversation was: What do you do when you don't know what to do?

Bobby Bowden once reached out to another legend -- Bear Bryant -- for advice in that kind of losing situation.

"Love 'em up," Bryant told the elder Bowden.

And those words were passed along to his son.

"That's what we did," said Bowden. "Instead of beating 'em up, we loved 'em up."

Quote:"When you keep going 1-11, you need to remember the players have been through so much," Bowden said. "My main job has been to be The Morale Coach. I realize now that taking a group of players who have been beat down and beat down --- well, beating them down some more will never work."
