oops, I thought they were the Mustangs. I stand corrected.Bates left last year for the DC gig at Pitt, a clear upgrade over LB at NU. Johns left for a co-OC gig at IU. Your point has no merit.
And EIU is the Panthers.

Please forgive him. When you map out the US on a flat plane Eastern Michigan and Eastern Illinois are basically the same thing. Luckily, they're also far away from the edge of the Earth, a place Turk seems to be approaching rather rapidly.Bates left last year for the DC gig at Pitt, a clear upgrade over LB at NU.

Yeah I didn't mean that in any sudden sort of fashion; they'll have space for promotions here over time.I doubt either McGarigle or Ayeni leave of their own volition any time soon.
Dont worry, most college football fans have no idea there is such a team, let alone its mascot. Let GCG play it up like Eastern illinois is the cradle of coaches and just leave it alone. Im certain that NU didnt try to bid higher to keep him.oops, I thought they were the Mustangs. I stand corrected.

Absolutely! Romo was a stud. Unlike NFL fans who may have heard that Romo was from there, college fans havent heard of the place except gateway conference peeps. Great gig for Cushing. Hopefully Cushing does well as he moves in his journeyI have a feeling most Dallas Cowboys fans are aware of such a team.
Uh, WIckerturk, Eastern Illinois regularly plays FBS programs, including us in 2015. So most college football fans who actually follow the game instead of trolling message boards incessantly know precisely who they are...Dont worry, most college football fans have no idea there is such a team, let alone its mascot.

Congrats-- you got our first question right on "Are you Smarter at Footbal than a 5th Grader?" !But since little Timmy also responded correctly, we'll move on to pur next question-- what CURRENT NFL quarterback is ALSO a graduate of Eastern Illinois?Why? Romo was Eastern Illinois? Another player?
Good luck to Coach Cushing . Who’s “Anderson”?Good luck Cush, and goodbye!
Wonder if Fitz will just hire Anderson as his full-time OL coach, give Heffner a shot, or look external.
Very few, if any - unless they’re a position coach getting promoted to a coordinator role. EIU is in a rough spot and there’s no guarantee of a role there leading to anything.
Kurt Anderson is a former Arkansas / NFL OL coach who served as an analyst for us this season:Good luck to Coach Cushing . Who’s “Anderson”?
Everyone except Mike Webb and GCG understand this basic improvement. We lost nothing with this opening, we gained. Period. End of story. Mikewebb and GCG want to continue Fitz' narrative and be the Fitz social media positivists by planting a narrative that concludes that Cushing was a sought after coach from MAJOR programs then that begs the question, i.e., why didn't NU move to keep Cushing? I mean, NU could definitely match or exceed EMU Bobcats or whoever they are. Like I said, I appreciate Cushing's recruiting coordinator work a few years ago, especially in the State of Ohio, but our OL recruiting was awful with the exception of this year which has seen a small uptick but that's because of Anderson.Lets get this back on topic. Imo this significantly helps our recruiting and I wouldnt be surprised if Anderson reels in another big OL by February.

Once again, Wickerpark, you are spot on and most reasonable fans don't buy Webb's narrative that Cushing was a hotly sought after coach.
EMU +1
Webb -1

They go low and you go high. Thats what I like about you, Turk. When others go personal, you laugh it off. besides the fact that you are also right. Cushing is a kind man and I wish him well in his departure.I love it and I agree!
Now that is the most intelligent thing you have said during this thread.

Go Cats!
wasnt gocatsgo talking about how we need coaching changes along the front after the Akron loss?oops, I thought they were the Mustangs. I stand corrected.

One way to foster loyalty? Hire legacies?Sounds great to me. Although he played for Michigan, his father was a NU Wildcat. He should be a great fit.
We still have McCall... (ducks)So, no more Cushing to kick around any more? I wish the man well.

He went from a position coach to a HC. Good move for him. Great opportunity for himEastern Michigan doesn't count. And neither do Div 3 schools (Colby) or High School teams. That said, this is exciting news and I wish him the best with the Mustangs.
How good a recruiter is he?Seem like a no brainer. Kurt is solid and coached in the NFL under Ryan and has solid Big10 roots.
He did say eventually. I mean Jerry Brown moved on, eventually. If they are good enough and there is no place for them to upgrade here, them moving on might be the only option. Probably 5 years down the road or so. One thing for sure. More new coaches hired here in the last two years than the previous 10I doubt either McGarigle or Ayeni leave of their own volition any time soon.
They question everyone's credentialsI remember when people here questioned Brett Ingalls' credentials.
THat's a first.Yeah... that’s TOTALLY the only thing you were wrong about.
