When Monty was hired and introduced as our Head Coach I was impressed and excited for the future of the program. However after a long run it is clear that he has not been successful and is unlikely to have success in the future . It is past time that NIU thanked him for his service and moved on to give someone else an opportunity.

I have zero problem with his attending an MSU game wearing MSU attire. He has close ties to the school and they have been an important part of his professional life. I do not agree that it reflects unfavorably on NIU.
