Man UTC has lost a ton of players to the portal today too. I have counted 5 so far. It has been a blood bath for the SoCon today

That is not how Western does extensions. Historically, we wait until a coach has a losing record and has put together 2 or 3 losing seasons in a row and then we give an extension. That way, when we fire them the year after the extension, we have to pay them for the remaining 4 years of their contract. lol. There were also a couple of coaches like Kent Briggs and Bill Bleil that we should have given more of a chance but we did not. If you step back from the situation and look just at the facts, the way Western has managed hiring and firing of coaches makes absolutely no sense.
Seriously, I would be ok to give Bell whatever he wants as long as we can afford him. In my opinion, he is the first true head coach we have had since Bob Waters and he is also a class act. I am a big fan. He is a winner.
GO CATS!!!!

Wandering off the original topic, but since you mentioned Bleil we all know that had more to do with guys getting into off-the-field trouble than anything else. I always thought we had an opportunity with Hodgins and then Bleil to build a pretty solid football program - I thought both were good coaches, and we had some really good coordinators and assistants during that stretch. Hindsight is alwyas 20/20, but if we would have spent money then like we are now things would look a lot different. Hodgins had a run in 92-94 that is pretty similar to what Bell has done the last 3 years (92 we had 7 wins, and 93 and 94 we had 6 wins each). Bleil was fired after going 7-4 in 2001 and winning the SOCON Coach of the Year award. And then... www.newspapers.com/article/asheville-citizen-times/93989800/
