ECU

[THUNDERGround]

Talked to him last fall after being told he was an expert at stopping a certain offensive scheme. A guy I worked with worked under him, raved about his character, and said he was phenomenal to work under.

So what was your take on him? Do I have the wrong impression of him?

I only had two conversations with him. The first only lasted about five minutes, as he had to look for what it was I wanted to talk to him about. The second convo was probably about twenty minutes. He seemed pleasant to me. He's living in a small neighborhood on a little island in Florida with a boat lift in his backyard that can get him out on the Gulf in just a few minutes. He said he spends quite a lot of time ministering to prisoners.

I hadn't realized how young he was when he retired. He was in his early 50s when he left Toledo and never got back into it. The guy who worked with him for a few years had nothing but really positive things to say about working for him. From my experiences talking to FBS head coaches, most want to control conversations (especially on the phone), dominate the discussion, and talk mostly about themselves (there are a few I have noticed aren't like that). He wasn't like that at all.

Based on his appearance and leading Marshall's rival at the time, he was an easy target to dislike and get the wrong idea about. From very limited time talking to him, he seemed the complete opposite of what you may think.

Not if we upset South Carolina herdfan429.

It shouldn't be contingent on that... especially when it's necessary to get P5 schools to the Joan

ECU, which is in a small town in the poorer part of NC, and whose fans have the world's worst case of "little brother" in sports, made a huge mistake in moving down to THE AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!. The other schools are urban colleges which, while none is really in the top 5 in popularity in their own towns, make ECU an total out-layer that will never fit in. Its fans are way too smart to buy into all of the P6 and fake national championship bs

Do you ever notice every school that is not Marshall is a complete shythole to SamC? Every school is a dump, the surrounding city is a dump, their fans are a**holes, they have no budget, they are overrated and their demise is near...

I for one think ECU is at the top of the list of delusions of grandeur, however I have yet to see Sam think any school from any conference at any point of time be worthy of anything but mockery from Sam.

Fair enough, my friend. I will take that as gold as far as someone who has spoken to him personally. I wish him well in his retirement and health.

Ernie Salvatore changed my mind about Bobby Bowden. I thought the Lengyel going to Morgantown thing was a stretch, but Ernie said it was the real deal. Changed my perspective instantly.

I still hate Toledo though. LOL
