Monsoon is long gone and it does not matter to LBSU what he is doing. This current focus on Monson is looking backwards, we need to look forward. Acker is no Monson, but Monson was not able to win the big games, so we set out to find a coach who can win the conference and the big games. Bobby and we have to live with his choice. Part of the current situation with all our teams you can lay at Conoley’s doorstep. She was unprepared to handle NIL and P4 consolidation, even though it was in clear view. Hopefully this new guy will get and do something about it.

If I were a coach with booster groups for my sport, I would be focusing on raising money for trust funds and not concentrating on current expenses. The funds need to be outside the athletic department purview and managed by trusted people, and there are ways to unsure that happens. If we do not do this we are spinning our wheels for generations and be prepared for eventual trip to D2.

Forget Monson and start looking forward.
