You kind of understand they were trying to make it different, silly, fun... but wow, what a fail.

The AD needed subtitles. The new coach ... did not. Also, hope they sanitized that whistle.

Why did they do that?? Very weird. Kind of bizarre. Forbes seems like he's already about to give up in frustration?

That was amateurish, weird, and just plain brutal. Really makes you appreciate the marketing team that Dr. Jim has put together at NU. They do a terrific job.

Yep, just what you want as a recruit, a screaming, in your face, head coach. Where do I sign?

Yeah, I would be tickled pink if NU could land the head coach of East Tennessee State.

The guy who worked his way from a couple JUCOs where he had a 68-28 record to Idaho to Louisiana Tech to Illinois State to Texas A&M to Tennessee to his first head coaching job at Northwest Florida State where he had a 62-6(22-2) record with two national runner-up finishes to Wichita State to East Tennessee State where he had a 130-43(71-19) record while developing a reputation as a high-level recruiter?

Yeah, I'd be cool with that guy.

Kind of like being a Duke fan and seeing your school hire some guy from Army.

It might work out, it might not, but the simple fact that Forbes coached at ETSU (or anywhere else) does not mean he will fail. There are plenty of guys with stellar high major resumes who failed.

Your right and how about Indiana hiring a guy from Army. Those were two hall of fame hires.
