He’s 1-19 at Portage Northern. 0-16 in conference.
But John Wooden winked at him once!

He got a much longer chance than he deserved.
With Clayton’s about 15 years of service at WMU he deserved more of a chance.
Will now be quite interesting where WMU’s great recruiting class ends up and how many other players leave.

Really? Since he was a part of the collapse of the program, I fail to see why he was given a chance at all.
Certainly as an EMU guy I’m sad to see him go. Was really hoping to see that extension.

Why so he could embarrass EMU again?

Clayton did a great job. The new AD owes Glenn from the search firm a favor and a $50K paycheck. It’s all a scam.

RE: Bates Gone
I would get a chuckle if WMU hired Saddi only because the first new big hire by the new AD would be a former Bronco, when people were angry that KB was for only hiring former Broncos.

RE: Bates Gone
KB didn't only hire former Broncos at all, and the problem with the TL hire was not that he played here.
