Next year is Bowdens make or break year. I will give him a pass this year but if we don't really contend for the MAC championship next season it's time for a change. The MAC east is ripe for the picking and we are still not even good enough for better than a 4th place finish in the west. The possibilty of getting a bowl game with a 6-6 record doesn't mean you have a successful program, it means there is glut of bowl games. I feel like we are running somewhat of a renegade program. Taking all the chances on transfers is not helping with recruiting 4 year players that should be the backbone of the program. Trying to hit homeruns every season with somebody elses rejects is not the way to build a consistant winner.
