Many of the d3 schools have had coaches added late in July,

Who? The last time I can find a coach being added in anything that could be remotely considered late July was July 12, 2004, when CURF promoted Bob Conwell to replace Jeff Hynes, who was named dean of students.

Mac has a full staff now.

Then why did they post a job on our job board this morning?

Not common, but has happened.  For example, back in 2000, Alma had a couple of assistant coaches added late July, much later than July 12th.  Olivet (MI) lost its head coach Dallas Hilliar who left abruptly in July.  Adrian just had two assistants leave this month.  At any rate Pat, my point was that it is difficult when that happens but was to encourage MacMurray followers and players not to be discouraged.

rucker the only person who is a quitter is you, actually how many times did you quit 2 or 3 am I right.  David I feel sorry for you. But, the football team only has 50 players from my source, so they will start the first with maybe 40 and end the season around 28-30, I will never quit or let a adverse situation stop me, you did.

   MacMurray just being MacMurray!

[Gomer Pyle]

Pat Coleman:
    Pat, is that a double posting on the D-3 Job Board?
    The one where MacMurray is looking for a ." Part time Linebackers coach."
     Looks to me to be the same language or did I miss the obvious?

You are right pete i did quit, I knew football wasnt in me anymore. So i left, and I am glad I did because the team was pathetic and I did not want to be  a part of something that was not a team but just individuals who were trying to please mcray. I have no grudges against any off the former players, I enjoyed being around all of you. Ecspecailly you pete, you were a fun guy to be around, always seemed to know what was going on and you were like reno.

Drucker, Good luck in life, I hope you reach all your dreams and goals.

[drucker]

Thank you pete, I hope you also have a good life and do whatever it is that you want to do. I could easily see you being a coach and doing a great job. You are a great motivator.

now that you guys are done making out...can we get back to football?

This is why this is one of the funniest boards on here

[Gomer Pyle]

this year the conference i feel will be alot closer with all of the teams how are the other teams looking??? things are looking good in cougar land and we are ready to compete this year... only a couple more weeks then we get after it....
go cougars!!!

   "Things are looking good in Cougar land."
      Optimism  and enthusiasm go hand and hand but the reality of the Cougar football program  for the last 6 years (2000-06) shows little
    improvement. Really bad. That`s why they finish last (most of the time ) in the IBFC.
     Their "over-all" record is .............. 5-64.
      Their IBFC record is.....................4-45.   Source for numbers is from D-3.
   The above is not waving a red flag in your face but  facts carry more weight  than hur-rah.
    How about some sound reasons why your so optimistic.

Gomer;

You are right on with CUC. It takes time 3-6 years to get out of the hole they were in. Their coach will start his second year and has made some improvements but there is a very long way to go to consistantly challenge for the conference championship. I do think they may surprise someone this year as I have said before. This program needs time to go from last to first, IMO, if they can. I don't see CUW, Aurora, Lakeland or Benedictine going in a negative direction, IMO. This just compounds CUC position. Competition is Great!

Anyone hear info on Lakeland, Aurora or Greenville as camp approaches?

Ahh. You meant assistant coaches.
