Let's get Ryan Kane from Ripon or John Tharp from Hillsdale or Matt Juckem formerly of UWO. They are just as qualified as some names being thrown around and have ties to the area as well.
Okay I know I'm being over the top now.
The administration just made a ballsy move. The chancellor made no bones about the next guy is going to help make them money. I'm actually surprised Gary would want to be used like that. He's a good coach but he isn't significantly more accomplished than other area connected D3 names we can come up with. So why is he higher on the list or on the list when others aren't? To dig them out of a hole?
Welcome back to campus. I know he will be busy coaching and recruiting. I wonder if he will have time to load and drive the gravy train.

I'm sure some will be happy with the apparent news of Grzesk pulling out but this makes UWGB look really hinky-dink when the local D3 guy says "Nah, I'm good."

Best wishes to Gary and his family. GB missed the boat with Grzesk when Darner was hired. My guess on the new hire -- Foster or Saul. The best hire would be Herbst, Wisconsin native, good recruiter, and respected by current players and recruits.

Glad to hear Gary is out. Although if they hire the UWL coach because he has a connection to the current administration they are smoking some kind of drugs.
That isn’t going to move the envelope or put butts in the stands.
I still cannot believe no names have been leaked like previous searches. It really must be because of COVID.
People complain about GB being “small time” yet want them to hire a D-3 coach from a small time college that hasn’t even won a D-3 title.

Regarding the 4th place clause in Linc's contract......Was this a Mary Ellen Gillespie move (as she and Linc had a prior connection before both ended up at GB), or was this a Charles Guthrie move?

I'm a bit puzzled by that move and adding another year to Linc's contract, by CG if his intention all along was to push Linc out and go in a different direction. CG (and the new Chancellor Alexander) better have a vision and plan in place.

I thought they were at Purdue at the same time (when Linc was at Purdue), but I may be wrong.......

The plan in place the AD has is to hire his own guy to put it on his resume.

They have $720k plus the immediate future of the program at stake here.
I might be the only one crazy enough to believe this but I think they are going to pull off a big time hire.
The reasons why this had to happen can be debated until all of the cows in Brown County come home. The future is what matters right now.
This might be looked at as the time they lit a bunch of money on fire or it might be looked at as the time GB raised their own bar of expectations to gain a competitive advantage.
In relation to what and who comes next I think GB is capable of more and people in GB need to be willing to think bigger than they have been.

MEG didn't work in athletics at Purdue and didn't work at Purdue when Linc was there.
GB had a guy in athletics finance that worked in the Florida Southern athletic department with Linc.
