Just curious as to who everyone thinks is on the Hot Seat. In my opinion, Winters was on the hot seat prior to the season, but saved himself. I have to think both of the UP coaches are getting pressure following the season. My NMU team hasn't shown much this year, but I hope they give Coach Nystrom one more chance. However, it might be tough if they finish the year with no GLIAC wins. In his tenure, there only have been 2 GLIAC wins (one coming from Davenport's first year in the conference). Let me know what ya'll think!

Winters has put together a solid season . They beat SVSU and Ashland. He is safe. I hear he is a good dude. I hope he keeps it going

Winters the coach? Infuriatingly average to good. His numbers against the current GLIAC (even with this 5-1 year) are abysmal. His offense works only if the run game isn't shut down. The 2011 season gets further and further away. I've never seen an elite (for D2) QB develop under his tenure (which is Wayne's greatest flaw). This season has been a step in the right direction and saved his job in the fans' eyes, but I've seen his teams regress later in similar situations. Winters the guy? Pretty freakin' cool.
It won't show in the W-L column, but I have to wonder if Ashland fans are getting restless with Coach Owens. He has GLIAC and South titles and playoff wins, but has been around the program a while. Probably not on the hot seat in the program though.
I'd say NMU, MTU, then Northwood are the hottest seats this year. Either way, it's looking more and more like schools will have to find the next Tony Annese to have high level success. The gap between Ferris and the rest of the GLIAC looks like the gap between OSU and the rest of the B1G.

I agree that Nystrom and Olsen might be looking for jobs real soon. NMU and MTU both seem to have the same problem. They are wildly inconsistent. Every once in a while they put together an above average season but not regularly. If it wasnt for Mayon last year NMU might have been a 1 win team. They seem to be a lock for 1 win this year. If nothing else, they should beat MTU regularly. They should be able to win over the best talent in the UP and in the rest of the state based on facilities and the things Marquette has to offer. MTU started to decline in Kearley's last few years and havent been the same since. It seems to me that they have lost their identity. My son plays for Ferris. I was in Houghton for the game. I met a few MTU parents that weren't at all happy with the coaches. The QB got caught smoking weed and a few other starters were arrested. Apparently, none were suspended. MTU was always known as a smart, tough, and disciplined team. Maybe coaches have lost control or they are starting to recruit a different type of kid. MTU might have more arrests this year than FSU. I'm glad we dont lead the GLIAC in that category anymore. There hasnt been any progress for either program since Olsen and Nystrom took over. No signature wins for either one.

Just curious but how many arrests has Ferris had this year? Is there an over/ under number that the school thinks is ok...you know...like as long as it is under X we are fine....but hit Y and look out we gotta talk about this?
FYI, I am all for second chances and I'm glad Ferris gives some of these kids that chance. Lord knows I have made many bad decisions in my life and Im thankful for those that gave me a second chance.
Again, just a joke.

After last week, I have a hard time thinking they will not make some sort of change at NMU. You go from being a semi competitive team in 2016 to bottom of the league for 3 years. Something has to change. I think that without a win this weekend MTU will also be making a change. MTU doesn't settle for mediocrity like the Cats. I just hope the AD at NMU doesn't screw up another hire. That guy does not seem to care about restoring what was a prominent D2 football program.
