Ef it.... Let's Roehl!

Guy lead his team as a player through the FCS transition.

Let's have him hopefully lead his teams as a coach through an FBS transition.

The success the team had transitioning to the FCS had his leadership as a player to thank in some regard no? Speaks well to his leadership capabilities I would think.

Actually, the teams he was the leader on were not great. His coming out party in 07 was with Steve Walker at the helm, that was his team.

I am amazed at the amount of 3rd and longs we have converted...kind of feel like our passing offense is a bit EWU-like in that regard. So props to Roehl on that. But, getting into all those 3rd and longs...there were some bad calls to get us there.

Exactly. 1st and 2nd down runs into a wall. Great individual efforts by Cam + WR on 3rd and 19.

Can’t understand why so many have suggested hiring an old coach as a mentor if Roehl is hired. If you feel he needs a mentor on staff to help him, then he isn’t ready to be the head coach. Also what does it say the new coach that you hire someone to “watch” over him? Either he’s the best candidate or he isn’t.

We need someone with this kind of "can-do" attitude on his resume.

That’s definitely a good point. You are either ready or you are not.

I think 2021 was actually a very good coaching job by Entz. I was thinking about it earlier today and it was pretty impressive. The only loss was sdsu which I thought if quincy was healthy, he could have beat them. Otherwise, Cam still almost made the comeback that day.

Watson was out for all the playoffs except for frisco and part of the regular season. There were so many injuries that year. Luepke was back and forth all season. The portal and covid were brutal going into the season. Of course, the program lost the best fcs player on the planet. Cleared out the running back room.

That might have been the championship with the highest level of difficulty getting to frisco.

I haven't read through the entirety of this thread - but I find it odd Larsen hasn't released any sort of statement at this point.

I was wondering the same. Maybe he speaks at the press conference today at 2:00?

Give it time. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the news broke, and Entz has yet to talk about it to the media, which he will do at 2:00 today. Besides, all Larsen would say is, “We are in the process at looking at candidates that will lead this program to the level we know is expected.”

This is super common on the coaching ranks. "Special assistant" or hiring former HCs as position coaches or coordinators is common for first time HCs.

My guess is ML being ML he won't say a word. Then say that we are too needy when the choice has been made
