Lynch did not have increasing success recruiting...towards his last years we were competing with MAC schools for recruits and losing a lot of those battles!

 Lynch's recruiting successes? what successes? besides 4 or 5 players that actually developed under Wilson, there wasn't much success in Lynch's recruiting.

Under Bill Lynch 2007: 7-6 (3-5 in conference)**Players still thought they would play under Hoeppner-SOS 67 2008: 3-9 (1-7 in conference)- SOS 81 2009: 4-8 (1-7 in conference)- SOS 73 2010: 5-7 (1-7 in conference)- SOS 86 4 yrs: 19-30 (6-26 in conference) Recruiting under Lynch-Rivals Class Rankings 2007: 98th 2008: 78th 2009: 59th 2010: 93rd Under Kevin Wilson 2011: 1-11 (0-8 in conference)- SOS 88 2012: 4-8 (2-6 in conference)- SOS 71 2013: 5-7 (3-5 in conference)- SOS 44 2014: 4-8 (1-7 in conference)- SOS 65 4 years: 14-34 (6-26 in conference) Recruiting Under Wilson- Rivals Class Rankings 2011: 60th. 2012: 67th. 2013: 38th. 2014: 38th.   I think we can agree that Wilson has brought at least some relevance to the program, so I think we can stop with the argument that he hasn't done better than Lynch. Now is it time to find a new coach? or do we wait a little longer?

Well if we are going to go by that, should Lynch's first season (his best season) count since he took over all the talent that Hoeppner left behind?

At the beginning of the season I was 80/20 in favor of Wilson. I really thought this was going to be the season we made big progress (even after the SIU game) and won 7 or 8 games. At this point I'm 50/50 on keeping or firing Wilson after this season. The season is not over, but unless there is an upset in one of the next 3 games and we win at Maryland and Purdue; I don't know if I can say he did enough to earn an extension. The funny thing is, if we would have won the Rutgers game (even if it was an ugly ugly win) most people would be happy with the program being 5-2. That game just brought a huge dark cloud over Wilson and the entire coaching staff.

MSU- 34 IU- 27

Here we go...Crean criticism starting in 3...2...1...

P.s. I know Sirhoosierlot personally and been friends for a long time. Don't ban me mods. Lol

Dude NO. Go to sleep.

Where is Tommy Mister when you need him? I wish he would have stayed, we could use him right now that Howard is hurt.

Next year we'll have some great receivers (Booth, Cobb, Westbrook, Thornton, Patrick) but no one to throw it to them. :(

IU- 34 Rutgers- 27

14-0 really quick! Go Big Ten East?

Well that's not the start Northwestern wanted...

I think with Sudfeld and Howard we can win 3 more games (Rutgers, Maryland, and Purdue). But even with two more wins we can make a bowl game, which was the goal at the start of the season. If we can win one more than that, I'll be super happy. But 6-6 will be progress and will be okay in my book.

Lol that's what I like to hear!

Well how does being negative about every bad play do? We have our 3rd string QB in, our 4th string RB in. What else can we do? They're doing their best out there.

Sorry mods, ban me if you want to. But I can't stand people that are always being negative instead of supporting the team.

Shut.The.F.Up already! Damn dude! Negative Nancy over here!

Our defense playing well this second half. You wonder how this game would be if we had Sudfeld and Howard...

Faq it!! Bring Sudfeld and Howard!!!

That kicker should be a lineman!

Umm yeah....well we get the ball to start the 2nd half!

We're down by 6....turn off the tv, stop drinking, go home, game over!!

You would think he was healthy enough for at least 1 quarter of good play. That's just me speculating though. If he can't go, then he can't go.
