Great news. This will help solidify recruiting plus retain good coaches. Now for my dog fan rant. I am still upset that the athletic department allowed Bud Nagle's donation of $500k go away. He wanted to upgrade our high school quality press box. I feel better

Bad move. Terrible head coach. Happy he is staying in the MAC.

More wins for WMU.

Good point. I wonder what the buyout is?

Coach Hammock deserves a standing ovation from the crowd tonight. For those going let's show Coach some love!

Hope there's a huge buy out for next years when he starts winning big...

Obviously you haven't been watching NIU this season.

You guys were so lucky to win last nite against a coach who didn't care and was smiling during timeouts ignoring his huddle.

See you in Dekalb in a couple of weeks.

(That safety play on the last TD pass was terrible.)

I've watched,

Not impressed, Hammock is 11-16.

Lester is better, even though that's not saying much.

My point, you guys should have waited till after the season. What happens if you lose out? This board will meltdown

I won't be happy but this team clearly took strides to go from 0-6 to 6-6 with a very young team. The foundation is there, waiting till after this season would not show anything new.

One could argue wait till after next year, and I'd listen to those arguments. But now vs January is zero difference.

they're not going to lose out anyways lol

Lester is a clown. And his entire tenure is the biggest clown show in the history of MAC coaching.

Lester is, BY FAR, the worst coach in the MAC West and has been his whole time in the position. The disparity between Lester at last and whoever is the fifth worst coach is greater than the disparity between the top coach and that fifth best coach.

The best thing about this whole thing is that your retarded take is shared by the incompetents running Western’s Athletic Department almost assuring that everyone else in the MAC West can continue to benefit from the Peter Principle personified.

MAC schools should put in buyout if any players transfer to a school in which he is hired from it will cost new school 2 million dollars. Stop that Buffalo crap fast where they lost 6 players to Kansaa

Does anyone know if the $1.3M salary budget includes Hammock’s salary, or, is that the assistants/staff portion? I am assuming his salary is part of that, but, I’m not sure that is correct.

It has to include his salary. Would be fire if it didn't lol, but i'm sure it does.

Agreed, all G5 AD's should push for this to become a common contract element.

Hammock will NEVER win a MAC title during his tenure.

Lester is NOT the worst coach in the MAC. Strongly disagree.

And I am just expressing my opinion, no need for name calling and personal attacks.

Good luck.

There was no name calling nor personal attack.

It is Lester who will NEVER win a MAC Championship and it’s highly doubtful that he ever even wins the West division.

Hammock may win a MAC title this season.

Anyone would be a fool to take Lester over Hammock.
Anyone would be a fool to take Lester over Creighton.
Anyone would be a fool to take Lester over McElwain.
Anyone would be a fool to take Lester over Neu.
Anyone would be a fool to take Lester over even Candle.

Quick math: Lester is the absolute WORST coach in the MAC West. Hands down. Bar none.

He’ll have plenty of money to put dinner on the table - or take his family out to dinner at Pizza Villa or the Junction.

Are Pizza Villa and the Junction still around? I haven't been back to DeKalb in years

Yes!

FUN FACT: “Terrible Head Coach” Hammock improves to 4-0 vs the MAC West this season.

FUN(NY) FACT: “Head Coaching Messiah” Tim Lester is 0-3 vs the MAC West this season.

True story.
