I don't think you are going to have to pull too hard...its gotta be Jace at this point.

...if it's not, maybe UWW hired the wrong AD.

IMO he couldn't go wrong hiring either of them.  Erickson is a strong candidate.

To be honest I couldn't pick any of them out of a lineup....but I know people who know Jace and they speak highly of him.  I'm sure the other guys are great people as well, just don't know anyone who knows them, I guess that and the fact that Jace is already there are what lead me to believe its him moving forward.  Just my ridiculously worthless 2 cents

Me personally, I think they made the right pick.

[timmyturtle]

Can't decide if I should go with:

A)  "I am the smartest person alive"
or
B) "Oh...that's what he looks like"

Congrats to Jace, the program, the athletes, the fans and the administration!
Let's go have some fun, and win a bunch of games!

When was the last time whitewater had a head coach under the age of 40?

Forrest Perkins was hired at age 36
Bob Berezowitz was hired at age 42
Lance Leipold was hired at age 42
Kevin Bullis was hired at age 49

The precise answer to your question is 1960.

Seems like a good hire by EC, though I know nothing about him other than what I've read.  Time will tell, I guess.

[timmyturtle]

I would agree.  There is certainly something to be said to have a guy who has been around winning.  Erickson just came off a national championship I believe.  He understands what it takes to win and can communicate that with authenticity.

Seems like UWW and UWEC have each hired excellent candidates. What an interesting time w both UWW and UWEC looking for a head coach and likely drawing from a similar (and duplicate in some cases) pool of candidates.

Congratulations to both new head coaches.

I'm looking forward to Jace as HC and I hope he reaches out to guys like LL and Kotelnicki.
