I think that I am going to have a long season this year... rebuilding for IB's teams. I'll say the same thing that I said to (R)uffda in another thread.....try being a Northwestern fan for all of these years. |

Great school, great city/location, great recruiting base. Is it lack of Athletic Dept support? Is it the campus? Is it the facilities? Is it the coach? Is it that the entrance standards, even for athletes, are too high? Weather sucks but that can't scare off all the great Chicago area players. NW and Rice should both be much better VB programs than they currently are. Sorry, way off topic... will move to another thread. |

NW and Rice should both be much better VB programs than they currently are. Sorry, way off topic... will move to another thread. Support by the Athletic Dept.......Poor. Low pay for coaches. No attempt to hire top level coaches. Facilities....fine. Campus...Excellant!! Coaching: Jerry Angle built a great program starting in 1981...won back-to-back Big Ten titles a few years later. Program began to go downhill even during Angles tenure. The story goes that the recruiting wars got to be a pain for him. Weak coaches ever since. Had some teams over the years that could have done better, but always underperformed (because of the coaches?) Entrance standards too high? That's not it. Northwestern is easy to reqruit for. I mean, after 4 years, you have a degree from NORTHWESTERN!!!! |
