This.

For five years, Dave Clawson steadily built a MAC champion at Bowling Green. When Clawson left for Wake Forest after winning a MAC title, Babers came in and had two good seasons with what Clawson built. Then he left, and the program was a mess in 2016.

Not all of our problems in 2016 were the fault of Dino Babers. Even so, he has yet to prove he knows how to build a program for long term success.

If we had an opening tomorrow and the choice was hiring back either Babers or Clawson, I'd take Clawson.
