In reality, both Creighton and Murphy are (were, in Murphy’s case) seemingly unable to be better than middle of the pack in the MAC. One is celebrated as a program savior. The other...not so much.

Personally, I think we can do better than both of them.

Preach Sam preach..........agree so much with this assessment! Murphy and CC are both .500 coaches, or less! Leipold took a terrible Buffalo program, and struggled his 1st 2 seasons, and then went 24-10 the last few seasons, and won 2 MAC east titles! CC struggled his 1st 2 seasons, and has a losing record his last 5 seasons.........And, Buffalo doesn't have a football tradition either.........But, CC is considered a God/savior by many people! Harkema then should've a statue outside Rynearson stadium then! Murphy's problem beside 10 years without winning the MAC was his comments about the E Michigan basketball job, and his lack of positivity about E Michigan, and Ypsilanti in general, but he did have 3 very good seasons! Heath hopefully can change everything!
