THANK YOU TERRY BOWDEN Thanks, Dre. I think that’s where we all are. I know I have nothing but love and respect for Terry and will be eternally grateful to him for digging us out of the Ianello Abyss. At the same time, I’m ready for a change and I think we’re all in agreement on that. Thank you, Terry. ??

Balsy Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I will miss Terry Bowden because he brought the first watchable football to the Zips while I've been a Zips fan. First Bowl win, and first MAC Championship game in a decade. He was never able to recapture the offensive potential that we all thought we saw in the first two years here. Thanks Terry for getting us out of the gutter. Now let's hope we can find the guy to take us to the next level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I still remember the night at the JAR when they introduced him as our football coach during a basketball game. Both he and the crowd went wild. I am not sure what happened this year. The team started out very strong but looked absolutely horrible in the MAC. It became very clear that we relied on Kato's running ability and the run option. Our 2 wins against the worst teams in the MAC were based on his outstanding running ability. We he got hurt we still went with the run option and our offense went nowhere without his quickness. I am not surprised by this decision as nobody was attending the games when we became non competitive in the MAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
