I really think Walt would do very well as a life insurance salesman.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

How about broadcasting like McCall is doing... I don't think Bell understands enough about football to be TV analyst. How bad is he to be fired mid-season from two crappy football programs like UMass and IU. Molnar got a 30k a year job in the Idaho and has never been heard from since. Not sure Bell is worth 30k at any school as a coach.

I feel no sadness for Bell because he fired Jim Jackson at UMass, who wasn't one of his buddies after a couple of games into the season.

No way Molnar only got 30k to be a D1 football coach. The QB/WR coach at University of Idaho does not make 30k.

He is currently a QB coach at a NAIA school. He definitely has fallen, and I expect the same for Bell going forward.

Molnar WAS a football coach at NAIA New Mexico Highlands University........not to be confused with NMSU (our greatest win :lol: :lol: :lol: ) or New Mexico Univ who we SHOULD'VE BEATEN if we had a God damn secondary. still in shock. pitiful G5 2-10 in 2022 travels across the country having played the week before and still walks out with a win on the road.

I'll do the crystal ball thing: we are never dropping football or going back to 1AA. maybe 2-10 or 3-9 this year. same for next 100 years. UMass football is a fuckin joke and only the morons on this board and X or Twitter really care. I'm a idiot but at least we're on ESPN three times this year!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :cry: :cry: :cry:
