McBroom was backed into a corner with the hiring of Nesbitt and Patel. Both took over for coaches that left mid-season. McBroom had no choice. When Hughes was named HC for the football program expectations were high. Those expectations have not been met or even approached. I do not know who the other candidates for the position were. If I remember correctly Hughes was not the first choice. The first choice wanted a long-term contract. I don't think anyone at Wt, as a D2 school, has ever had more than a one-year contract. IMHO, if Hughes does not return there will be no shortage of high-quality applicants.
You are missing out by not supporting other sports. Just like the girls on the softball team, VB and WBB have quality athletes on and off the court. One of the basketball girls is working part-time for me till the season starts. You should go to some of the WBB practices and meet the Coach and players, you will be glad you did.
I agree about Hughes. He seemed like a great candidate. However being a good coordinator does not necessarily lead to being a good head coach, e.g., Nesbitt.
Maybe UTPB is just a fantastic team and Hughes can overcome the loss. I really hope so. Maybe Commerce after a year off has lost something and we can beat them. Maybe we can slip by Angelo or Mines.. Maybe the coaches can figure out that to win they have to unleash Gerber instead of waiting until 3rd down. Maybe some day Hughes will realize the kicking game is actually important. Maybe too many maybes.
I live over 600 miles from Canyon, so I will have to decline your invite, though it is appreciated. I have been to 2-3 volleyball matches and I enjoyed them, I went to a Lady Buffs basketball game in 2015. Sorry, I just hate basketball, at any level. I used to come up 3-4 times per year for football and the same for softball. However I haven't been anywhere near there since the last game at Kimbrough. Somebody else can enjoy the Club Level.

You are correct. I believe Tremaine Jackson the defensive coordinator from Sioux Falls was the first choice. Turned out to be a horrible decision since he went on the be ACU's defensive coordinator and now is the head coach of FBS Central Michigan.

I looked up Nesbitt's record once he was officially named head coach. He was 18-14. 4 of those wins came against OPSU and McMurry when they were briefly in D2. His last game was an overtime win against WNMU. It is true he inherited a much better team than Hughes did. Nesbitt has been doing great in the NAIA, he's 5-0 this year, and has only lost something like 7 games in 4 years; 4 of those were in the inaugural year for football at OUAZ. Nesbitt fan(s) can watch his team play common opponent Texas College in Tyler this weekend.
Hughes is 22-22, including 3 wins over NAIA teams and worse (North American) last year and in this year's opener. His best season was 8-3, the lone year we had a good OC in the Hughes era. Losses that year were to Tarleton, Angelo, and Commerce. We might have been able to beat Angelo then if we had had a solid kicking game. We still don't.
We are about to hit the toughest part of the schedule. I don't see how he survives past this year.

I came to some games when Ronnie Jones was coaching, the team played hard but lacked the basics. So much hope, but poor results.
https://web.archive.org/web/20110804...o_beilue.shtml
From Wikipedia: "Following an 8-8 record in 2000, owner Ralph Wilson fired Phillips after Phillips refused to fire special teams coach Ronnie Jones[6]" Jones was also Buddy Ryan's defensive coordinator for the Cardinals. They had the worst defense in the league.
Jones, who was 5-27 at WT, was picked by former AD Harris over Don Carthel. At least he hired Carthel later. McBroom is 0 for 2 in football and 1 of 2 in softball. Harris hired Blaskowski.
Jones is the DC of a high school team now.
