There are so many factors other than hiring assistants that are involved in the attendance issue but this statement proves you are simply a Hammock hater, period. So go root for another program.
Your next statement "a team that went from first to worst" can also be factually reversed: We went from worst (0-6) to first" but you are too blind to acknowledge that.
In addition to the world of STF where extensions are not announced, which assistants were fired? No matter how bad you believe some of Hammock's hires have been they've managed to get other jobs.
Every coach puts together a staff based on people he either knows or else trusts when they recommend someone. I doubt that any of Hammock's hires came without a recommendation. It's not like posting on Indeed.com or ZipRecruiter.
You're entitled to your opinion and folks are also entitled to consider you a joke. Case closed. LOL

I was never “just a hammock hater” - and you can check my posts I have defended him quite often. I loved the hire.

The problem is seeing what he has done to the program.

And you are making my point for me, these hires are a direct result of his “connections” and they are terrible. Hell one guy lasted 3 days.

You sir are a joke. If you can’t be honest with what you are seeing that’s a you problem. This program is in awful shape. They are losing. Can’t hire coaches. Can’t keep coaches. Can’t seem to recruit or develop (you can pick which it is for all I care - are the players the issue or the coaches?)

There has to be something wrong. You don’t let Akron take your girl like that and have nothing wrong with your program. You don’t lose almost every scholarship back but Brown and not have at least *something* going on.

So you are the joke. You want to let this program keep burning and clap as it does? Fine. But don’t be butthurt when it is pointed out Hammock might be the problem here.

Not sticking up for TH completely here, as I think he needs to tweak the way he coaches and we will see if he has this season, but losing coaches like that has happened to arguably 2 of the best coaches ever at NIU with PJ Fleck (Doeren) and Roy Manning leaving (carey).

As for the RB's leaving, I think someone else mentioned it, but don't think a lot of the guys cared for the old RB coach that went to Minn. Things should be a little different and really think TH should be more hands on with RBs.

I get not micromanaging, but players want to go to the NFL and he does have that great history for that position. There is no denying that between Wisconsin and the Ravens.

This will be TH make or break season IMO. Needs 8 or more wins to make it a successful season. I do think there is enough talent on this to make that happen. The offense will put up more points and if the defense take a marginal step forward from last, we will have a good year.
