Quite the goal post move there. Tied for 6th MAC finish? I suppose having the 6th best MAC record isn't that great, but that also isn't how anything in the conference is determined. You can finish tied for 5th in the MAC, 1st in the East after tiebreakers and win the MAC Championship and that is all that matters.
Bowden's best season, has also been Akron's best overall record, and only Bowl win, since moving to 1-A, finishing tied for 2nd in the MAC East. But go ahead and continue with your alternative facts. Bowden should not be immune in anyway to criticism. There are questionable decisions, but let's not act like we've had nothing but futility. We had years of mediocrity, before Bowden, and one of those years ended in a championship. Bowden has taken us back to that level, and shown signs of moving us past it. Too bad most of the "fans" would rather clamor for the "good ole days" whatever those were.
