Quote from "Coach W".....  "I know a few of the alumni and they thought Mr Ohio was a fast talking used car salesman." 

just for the sake of this board...Coach W would (and does on wissports) have about -3000K with his insanely stupid posts and lack of intelligence...take what he says with a grain of salt...and the "Coach" part is without a doubt not true...he is most likely a 40 year old has been (never been) player or a high school kid haha

Hey Wisconsin folks.  Just joined the boards and, as a big Purple Raider fan and Mount Union alum, I wanted to congratulate UWW on a great win and a great season. Truly a great team. 

Mount was a very good young team this year. Next year should be a different story with a great veteran team!  I look forward to Purple Bowl VII so Mount can take its proper place on top of DIII! 

In all seriousness can't wait to see Mount face off against UWW again in another great game. 

BTW, can you guys please leave Coppage at home next year? I would say that he and your punter were the definite difference makers for your team in that game.  I mean seriously... 299 yards?!?!

The  rumor today, after Kevin Bullis's very impressive appearance, was that the current coaches at RF were not impressed with Kehres. I think it's between Bullis, Aaron Vicko of Point, and Kehres.

Thanks for the infor fred. Unfortunately the current assistant coaches are most likely on the hiring comittee and therefore won't have a say in the hiring selection. Nor will the current players as they probably aren't on the comittee either.
Like I said early every coach most likely has aspirations to coach at the D1 level. I know that Matt Campbell who was a Mount assistant is know one of the coordinators at the university of Toledo. So to say it can't happen would be false as both he and zebrowski have gone from d3 to d1.
The hiring comittee has a tough decision to make ad I am sure just like in 2007 at uww there will be people who don't like it, probably not as many though. However who ever did the best behind the closed doors of the actual interview will be hired and recommended to the chancellor and what not.
I know that at one point they said they want the new guy hired by january 1. Fred is that still true???

WOW....I remember when LL was chosen as the HC.  There was MUTINY afoot on this board.  I could go back and post all the CRAZY talk that was posted, but I will save many of you the embarassment.  
I have an idea......let's erase the last four years with LL, and REPLAY those games with the "other guy" at the helm.  I gotta believe Mount's chances would be better.   No disrespect to Zweifel, but LL was the best thing that happened to UWW.  

Sidekicks I think the majority of the regular WW posters on this board were up in arms about WW   hiring leipold and not coach Zweifel. I was one of the few people who post on this board that was excited to see WW take a chance on Leipold as he is a former warhawk.  However to say that if we play the last four games over with Zweifel as head coach. I am not sure if UMU would have a better chance to win. Although they were 4-0 against WW with Zweifel calling the plays for the hawks. 02, 03 in the regular season and 05 06 in the Stagg bowl with 06 being the worse of the offensive performances.
   The one thing that I truly believe helped WW and Leipold was going out and hiring Zebrowski as his OC. He was and is a great coach and offensive mind as he is know coaching in the Big Ten. That along with Leipold's ability to get the team and remaining coaches one of which(Steve Dinkel current Oc  I believe) had quit the day it was announced with a "gag order" was supposedly put on the campus by the chancellor  that Leipold got the job   to believe in him and what his plan for the program was. I can't imagine what would have happen with the coaches and returning players would have not bought into Leipold's plan. I know change is difficult for some people but sometimes it's the best thing for everyone.
Who knows what would have happen if they would have hired Zweifel. However like I have said before Leipold obviously did a better job in the interview room behind closed doors then Zweifel did, and no matter what anyone says Zweifel had a big part in getting the hawks to the Stagg Bowl in both 2005 and 2006.   Berezowitz also gets a lot of credit as he was the head coach, as well as he had to manage the drama and the fact the Zweifel refused to talk to the defensive coordinator Borland after he told Stan in August of 2005 that he wouldn't back Zweifel for the head job as he was going to go for it as well. This resulted in the team taking an offensive plane and a defensive plane down to Texas when they played Mary Hardin Baylor in 2006.

why is this the first I've heard anything about this at all? even during the hiring process and talking with players during and after the hiring process?  I'm not doubting you at all because it was obviously a pretty bad situation and bridges were obviously burned but that shocks me considering the travel restrictions placed on our institutions during playoffs and throughout the year

It was a regular season game not a playoff game.

I was present at all five open forum interviews. Coach K. impressed most people that I talked to. I asked the question about what goals he had in coaching. He was candid, saying "absolutely" when I asked whether he would eventually want to coach in D1. He was the only one who indicated an interest in coaching beyond D3. I give him credit for honesty.

Most thought he would have to be in RF for at least five years in order to turn the program around, and thus have a basis for moving up.

The  rumor today, after Kevin Bullis's very impressive appearance, was that the current coaches at RF were not impressed with Kehres. I think it's between Bullis, Aaron Vicko of Point, and Kehres.

All five candidates could do a good job.

footballscoop.com just named Vince Kehres as DIII 2010 Coordinator of the Year.

Seriously warhawkbabe?  Try some punctuatuion or something!!!  I like to think I can read half way decent, but it took me three times to get through your post.  I'm starting to think you type with just your thumbs or something!!!

[skunks_sidekick]

As someone who has been around VK on and off for the last few years, one thing you can always count on with Vince is brutal honesy.  It's how he was raised, and it also fits his personality. 

Some fish hack calling him a "used car salesman" is absolutely ridiculous.  That's not his personality, or his make-up.  If RF doesn't seriously consider hiring him, then they really don't want to take that next step.  If he would get the job, come in and immediately change the culture, get kids committing at the level it takes to be successful, and then leaves the program in say four or five years....so what?  Odds are he would have qualified assistants to take over and keep the program rolling.  I know if I had a chance to get the "Larry Kehres system" for my football team, I would seriously consider hiring VK.

I don't know the other candidates, so this isn't a knock on anyone else, but just a very strong endorsement for VK.  And don't get me wrong......I don't want him to leave Mount, but if this is what the man wants then I hope he gets it.

I think warhawkbabe is non compos mentis. Cut him/her some slack.

With the handle of warhawbabe let's hope it's a her.  

If it's a him he's got some issues. And I'm not talking non compos mentis, whatever the heck that means.

The latter.

You've said this twice now and I'm curious.  Who has said that this can't happen?  

Sean, you were doing pretty well.  You actually had a series of posts in which you didn't mention Stan Zweifel.  But I knew it was too good to continue.

His defense wasn't so impressive when the Warhawks saw it.

Congrats to Coach VK, and the UMU defense.  Those are some very impressive numbers.
