EMU Fires Ron English
Oh, wow.....EMU fired Ron English.
Starting to make the rounds on Twitter now.

Wouldn't be surprised if he got an interview, his wife works in the AD at EMU.
November 8th, 2013 at 4:15 PM ^
That's Al Borges' wife? Not sure how old Al is but he is certainly a lot oder than 41 (her age). This is obviously no Layla Kiffen, but Al Borges who, let's just say may not be the most attractive man in the world, has a pretty hot, much younger wife?
November 8th, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
Borges is 58.
November 8th, 2013 at 8:10 PM ^
He's got a Jerry Gergich situation downstairs.
November 8th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
Of the 10,000,000 or so words written about Al Borges on this blog in the last month or so, this is by far the most shocking.

English's remark about not wanting kids from female-headed households always bothered me, especially at a place like EMU where you can expect to be recruiting a lot players from poor urban neighborhoods. I guess I would have a lot more sympathy for English if I felt like he was giving chances to a lot of hard-luck kids, since you're not going to win much at EMU anwyay. But ever since that remark I've basically been like "to hell with Ron English."

Assuming the EMU "braintrust" stops listening to Lloyd Carr the first call they should make is to Dino Babers at Eastern Illinois. The guy is in his 2nd year at the FCS school and has them ranked #2 in the entire division. He also runs a fun offense that will put butts in seats.
What offense you ask? Baylor's offense I answer. He was the receivers coach under Art Briles for a couple of seasons. And he's taken the fun to EIU. And last, but (unfortunately) not least, Dino is black. Yeah I know. A guy named Dino Babers is black? Its true. If EMU gets a brain and hires Babers EMU will have a bigger electricity bill because the scoreboard will go crazypants.

I would like to see hoke give a call to ron english and give him a coaching position on the defense.i personally liked him when he was at michigan before. He could help out and maybe toughen up some of these boys..im in #hireronenglish..for real

You can't just add coaches, we are at the limit of the number of coaches we can have on staff. Which coach do you suggest firing (and not replacing, so don't say Borges/Funk)?
November 8th, 2013 at 4:13 PM ^

To be specific he coaches the OLB.

350,000 for 5 years straight. So, So many people would take that

You know how many coaches "dream" it is to be a head coach. It's a hard thing to turn down. All english had to do was be below average for 5 years, and he had a contract extention waiting for him. He's average for 5years, and shoot, they damn near might build a statue for him. He failed so badly, because he sucked, and sucked badly. Always seemed that he coached to stay close and not to win, and he even failed at staying close. He is up there with Mike stock as worst EMU coach ever.
November 8th, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
November 8th, 2013 at 11:35 PM ^
But if you're the coach that can turn that ship around, you can pretty much write your ticket anywhere else.

Even crazier was that they went to a bowl game in 1987 when they were in the MAC.
November 8th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
November 8th, 2013 at 10:27 PM ^
They went to and won the California Bowl. But other than that pretty meh.

In 2006 we had a ridiculous front 7 but AGAIN couldn't stop a mobile QB (Troy Smith) or even a non-mobile QB, when we got bombed by USC in the Rose Bowl. And don't forget the beat down from Oregon in 2007. And don't forget that in 2006 he inherited a bunch of future NFLers on that line.
He couldn't OSU to under 39 had some crappy linebacker covering OSUs future NFL wide receivers. He is responsible for the worst loss in the history of the program. Let that sink in.
That man didn't have it and, again, I don't understand why anyone remembers him as anything other than a failure. Sure, the first 11 games of 2006 were fun, but when we finally played some real competition, we were exposed like woah.
EDIT: future NFLers in that front seven.

I sincerely hope you are not one who suggested that Rodriguez be given more time. Based on your comments about English (who was by most accounts a good not great d.c.) I gotta think that RR was a pee wee coach at best!
November 8th, 2013 at 9:43 PM ^
Are you saying the 2006 loss to Ohio State is the "worst loss in the history of the program?"
November 8th, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
Appy State.

was a pocket passer for OSU in 2006. When he took over as the starter in 2004 they used in legs, but by 2006 he very rarely ran the ball except on scrambles.

Feel bad for Coach Ron but I expected big(ger) things from that lot considering the 6-6 mark last season. Unless they lost a lot, they've underachieved greatly. Hope he catches on somewhere as a coordinator or something. Really like him.
November 8th, 2013 at 5:34 PM ^
The 6-6 record was in 2011 and EMU was 3-18 since, but yeah, after that record I thought he had them headed in the right direction.
November 8th, 2013 at 5:21 PM ^
Some idiot on this site is going to propsose we replace Hoke with English. Count on it.
November 8th, 2013 at 5:21 PM ^
Hey, I have an idea: We should replace Hoke with English.
November 8th, 2013 at 6:22 PM ^
November 8th, 2013 at 5:22 PM ^
Told you.
November 8th, 2013 at 5:42 PM ^
November 8th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
I'd like to see Mike Hart land at Michigan.
November 8th, 2013 at 5:47 PM ^
Wasnt he a secondary coach before a dc..what about a dline spot hoke is responsible now..idk..go blue
November 8th, 2013 at 6:15 PM ^
Punctutation is a fancy new trend. You should try it sometime.
November 8th, 2013 at 5:52 PM ^
