Hinson and Simmons bring the conference down? They are two of the most tenured coaches the conference has seen in recent memory. Both love the conference and Marty would have loved for this to be his last job, it probably is Barrys. Barry, more so than Marty is a vocal advocate for this conference and did something with nothing this past season.
Marty's offense was good, a lot of screen action and mismatches throughout, he just couldn't recruit at a high level. Do you think guys like Colt Ryan, DJ Balentine, and Ryan Taylor have the success they do without being in that offense? I'm not sure they do.
Marty was fighting an uphill battle trying to get Evansville back to relevance, specifically recruiting in our own conference. Why go to Evansville when you can come to Normal, Chicago, or heck, even Cedar Falls.
