However, one thing he does very well is hire Head Coaches. Look at WBB and Volleyball last year and Track/CC a few years ago.

If you give him credit for Bovee, who was already a Head Coach on staff, for track, you have to mightily ding him for the rapid decline in our baseball program. If they don't turn it around, I'm not sure how a change is not made before the end of the season.

As for Volleyball, do you think we overachieved? We were 1-6 vs the top 3 teams in the conference. Great, we were 9-0 against Bradley, Evansville, Valpo, and Indy State. We also spend a lot more on our program than most schools do. We might even be #1 because we fly the team a lot more than other conference schools.

I think volleyball will show how good the hire is as Myers' players graduate and move on and Johnson is recruiting on her own. I hope she pans out; we shall see what happens.

WBB looks good so far. Just wish we handled Smith's termination in a way that severely hampered department resources.

Reggie, all I can go by is the character of the coaches displayed both in interviews and in-game performance. Further, some feedback from student-athletes I have spoken with. Beyond that, the All Sports Championship Award ISU has finished 3rd the last two years.

Volleyball finished third behind two teams that spent time ranked in the top 25. They did beat UNI when they were ranked 25th,

Okay, here's another shot -
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (FCS): University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff is looking for a home opponent for the week of September 8, 2018. If interested, please email Coach Sheffield at Sheffieldt@uapb.edu.

Spose this is related to the MEAC issue referenced a few posts above?

Problem now is season ticket renewals have gone out based on six games - five real plus the exhibition. So I'd imagine at this point we can only replace STX with another home game.
