Depressed how bad the MAC blows. any more its not just the coaches that will bolt but the players have some success and see ya.

I'm not going to completely miss Sendy (if/when), but I worry who he would take with him.

It's really interesting to see ... Sendy has done all the Kent board has asked in terms of putting a new face on the program, maintaining success, getting back to the NCAA ... but instead of saying "Let's see how big he can build this program" ... the conversation is already about "Not completely going to miss him" ... sounds like Akron fans and Dambrot ....

Just what do you folks want ??? .... He's done/doing his part ... now it's time for 1) - More fans to show up ... 2) - Joel to do his part ... 3) Warren/Kent to do her/its part ...

I sorta of agree. Any Kent fan who gets upset over a coach leaving is unrealistic though. If they do poorly they leave and if they do well they leave. The definition of poorly and well obviously have some gray areas so we will have to see if Sendy does leave. Personally I kind of doubt it but who knows. That might have been all alpha flash was saying. If the coach leaves shrug your shoulders and move on to the next one. Nothing we can really do whether we agree or disagree.

Secondly I agree with your three things that need to happen except I think Warren is number 1. Joel will follow her lead. As far as fans are concerned I'm pretty sure they will not lead the way. They too will follow if Warren gets the thing kick started. After attending Kent games for 30 years I have no good suggestions for getting fans to the game in greater numbers. Super seasons like 2002 help for only a year or two so you can't count on that very often.

I will agree but add but add another 15 years to your 30 and some of those years had reasonable attendance despite bad teams. I know others have mentioned this but students today have too many other interests and when they do come they are often more engaged with their smart phone than a game.
