Bollman hired as MSU OC
@footballscoop: Sources tell us Jim Bollman is expected to accept the Michigan State OC job
So. There's that.
For those of you who don't know, Bollman was Tressel's OC from 2001-11.

Bollman is one of those coaches who looks mediocre with a personnel advantage, and really, really bad without one. Sparty is going 6-6 this year.

I may have to tune into the Valenti meltdown today.
February 27th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
I'm shaking in my boots. Nick Hill will dominate in this offense. Maxwell/Cook (whoever wins the competition this fall) will be unleashed to throw even flatter routes to the sideline than this season.

I can imagine the job interview now:
Dantonio: Do you hate Michigan?
Bollman: Yes.
Dantonio: I mean really hate Michigan?
Bollman: I think so.
Dantonio: Could you just say yes so we can get this over with old buddy?
Bollman: Yes.
Dantonio: Great! Grins and rubs hands with evil chuckle.
Bollman: Yes.
Dantonio: You can stop saying yes now.
Bollman: Yes.

I imagine it was mostly them talking about who loves Tressell more.

I am feeling a bit sad for Purdue in this instance. Not because they've lost a valuable coach - they haven't. But because the long line of mustachioed Boilermakers coaches takes a severe hit.
Tiller and Hope
Bollman would have fit in perfectly....

You mean those are three different people?

Coming Soon to a theater near you: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Part II, featuing:
Joe Tiller as Button's golden years (bald, fluffy stasche)
Jim Bollman as Button's later career years (starting to bald, stasche not quite as fluffy)
Danny Hope as Button's early career years (not bald, but stasche in full effect although well groomed)

Tee hee! Walrusball returns!
February 27th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
You can go ahead and lock the thread now.
February 27th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^

And then Sparty said, ''We'll hire a better offensive coordinator than Roushar''
February 27th, 2013 at 5:13 PM ^
I don't know which of those two I despise more. Wait . . . yes, yes I do. Its Pepe, the king of dives.
February 27th, 2013 at 2:37 PM ^
The Walrus has landed in East Lansing!
February 27th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^

Mark just wanted to make sure they continued laying in the weeds

Trolling OSU fans have set the tone for Bollman's reception. I find it amazing that Spartan fans seem to buying into this view without even pausing to consider the these OSU fans might be less than objective or perhaps ill-informed.
