RE: Marshall v. Miami (O). Is it too early to gear up?
how is our schedule somewhat challenging??
also, the article the author links to on coaching search is horrible as well. Legg has always been the OC and has always called the plays, which means that our offense will not "change drastically," which is what the author is predicting.

We lost 6 coaches, more than normal. But there is only one that wasn't replaced with equal or better coaches. And thats Tony Petersen. Petersen is one of the best if not the best QB coach in the NCAA. As a matter of fact Im surprised that no one in the NFL hasn't ever tried to hire Petersen to work with their QBs.

Finally, it's football week. This is an important game for the Herd. Yes, Marshall should win, some might even say, must win, to get this season started right, but Miami can be a very formidable first game, for us. No one should take this game for granted. I agree with Miami (Oh) Yeah! The pressure is on the Herd.

I think Doc and Company will have the Herd ready. The 2 biggest pieces of the puzzle I think were corrected. That was the hiring of a DC and a proper strength and conditioning coach.
We seen last year what can happen when when you have good skill position players on the field, with our O-. We had the #1 passing team in the nation and the #6 overall O-. Will we see the samething happen on the D- with a competent DC. We have the skill players to have a good D- its up to Coach Heater to put them in the right position to be successful. If we do then this team can be really good.

I have ZERO respect for Marshall (other than the tragic plane crash which is an very sad part of their past), but I think I despise Marshall as much as if not more than Cincy. Yet, I still think it is one of those rivalries I wish would always continue. With that said, until Miami does a staff overhaul, I think Marshall wins this somewhat easy. At least probably a comfortable lead by the mid 3rd quarter. I certainly hope otherwise 'cause Marshall fans have the largest egos for doing nothing over the years except from the Pennington/Moss days which of course are flagged due to their breaking of rules.

Cow Patties and Oxford....
Im betting Little Miami has less than 100 come to this game and next year Marshall sends at least 3-5K. This is the only reason I hate playing MAC schools other than Ohio. They just do not travel. None of them.
I don't know if I hate Little Miami, it's more I don't even care if they exist.
It's not your coaching staff that's bad, its your recruiting. Since Marshall left the MAC, Miami has a recruiting ranking of 7th in the MAC. Before Marshall got to the MAC not one school had a recruiting co-ord. and a lot of schools got rid of theirs once we left. A lot of MAC school send offers out to kids by just watching film instead of going to their school and watching the kid play.

Wow... Really doing nothing? How much ignorance can be spewed in one post? You need to check those records of how we dominated the MAC. We only lost 11 games from 1997-2004 in MAC play. We won the title in 97,98,99,00, and 02. So yea it wasn't just 97 and 98.
WE DOMINATED THE MAC.
Overall 59-11 and 5-1 in MAC Championships
1997: 8-1 Won Mac Title
1998: 8-1 Won Mac Title
1999: 9-0 Won Mac Title
2000: 6-3 Won Mac Title
2001: 8-1 Lost Mac Title
2002: 8-1 Won Mac Title
2003: 6-2
2004: 6-2
I doubt many Little Miami fans finish this game or even watch the 2nd half. Ive been saying for the past year I think this game is over at half time.
I find it funny that its game week and there is 1 thread about this game on Little Miami's board and its about the line. There isn't a thread on the MAC board either. Shows just how down the Miami program is.

Stan Hill wasn't bad either. He was 2-1 against Little Miami.
I wouldn't put any stock in MAC recruiting rankings. They just don't tell you much. NIU has had mediocre MAC rankings for a decade but it hasn't hurt us.

And under Novak your win total started showing it. Under Kill and Doeren you ran the same system. A system that doesn't require top skill players. I admire NIU for that. As long as Kill and Doeren got the right players in their system, NIU would do well. My question is: Does Carey run the same system....I assume he does since he was a coach under Doeren.

They'll say things like "we had the #7 offense in the country last year!" and " our team runs a lot of plays!" and so on, but they forget all about the part where they finished 5-7. Of course this all leads to the inevitable freak out/melt down after any loss, which includes a mandatory calling for the head of everyone on the coaching staff, and sometimes some of the players too.
It's like watching salmon swim up stream to spawn under a double rainbow. it's beautiful.
Excellent post!!!!!
Now I am starting to understand why all the MAC schools hate Marshall....They have not won crap in CUSA and are coming off another losing season yet they still run their mouths to no end...I would hate to see what they would be like if they actually won something.

Yes, we're running the same system under Carey. I don't think we do the read-option as much with Lynch, I think Harnish was better at those decisions. Otherwise very similar.
Kill won with a TON of guys that Novak recruited, especially Harnish. Many players were redshirted in 2007 when we had so many injuries and went 2-10 but Novak kept them red-shirted so as not to mortgage the future. We all thank him for that and it came together in 2010 and 2011.
