Re: Time for a new coach


Pulled over from the Toledo game thread:

I’m fine with Frank getting another year but I want Bamford canned tomorrow. He cannot hire Franks replacement a year from now and I don’t want him overseeing the program heading into another football season.

I'll mostly agree with this. As fed up as I ...

Re: MAC Championship game (3/14)

Miami is definitely getting a bid using the new WAB ranking. Wins above bubble.

Re: Game 33, 2025-26: Toledo (MAC Semis, 3/13)

Bamford should be canned..assuming hockey doesnt continue its roll all the way to Natty.

Im hoping Martin feels like he is better off coaching FIU or maybe South FLa after their coach takes new job. We are going nowhere with him as head coach and his ridiculous yelling at the players is beyond ...

Re: Game 32, 2025-26 MAC Quarters (3/12)


Hoping we can back into the 7th seed and avoid Miami until the finals, should we be able to win. Of course, then I want us to win and have both UMass and Miami make the Tournament.


i think MIami may get snubbed as their current net ranking is 53. It sounds ridiculous but we know how this all ...

Re: Game 30, 2025-26: at Bowling Green (2/28)



Umass administration needs to grow a sack and can Martin tomorrow. As I said previously fire him for cause with no buyout..Cause he sucks


Nope. Bamford has to go first. He doesn't get another hire.

I also want Frank gone, but we have been close in a lot of games. A culture change at the ...

Re: Time for a new coach



What is franks buyout? Anyone seen his contract?


Frank Martin is signed through the 2028/2029 season and has huge buyout money if he is fired without cause. They will owe him his full salary $1.6M per year plus a buyout on his bonuses which would be in the $2-$3M range alone. Add that to the ...

Re: Game 29, 2025-26: at Ball State (2/24)


What else is there to say at this point. Not calling a timeout with plenty of time left on the clock when Placide was bottled up and right in front of their bench, and then roasting him in the postgame interview on the radio saying he was "trying to be a hero" is completely classless.

Re: Game 29, 2025-26: at Ball State (2/24)

We are not stuck with Martin. If he cant get the team into MAC tournament he will be canned and probably should even if we get into tourny and lose to Miami or Akron. I think the game has passed him by. We have a roster model to follow right in our conference (Miami) so find a coach who will do ...

Re: Game 28, 2025-26: Buffalo (2/21)


*** Rant Alert***
I'm sure much of this has already been stated, but I'll state it again as my own personal therapy session. Frank lost us that game yesterday. Another blown opportunity to get a win in front of a good crowd (5,096), this time against an opponent without their best player, and to ...

we are one decent player away in most of these games. It is tough to win with 6 reliable guys.
