It's interesting -- that move read to me as a good way to bide some time for another D-I opportunity. I do agree that Bullis didn't really get paid a ton, but for him there were also benefits to staying in the Wisconsin State system for pension purposes.

Wait, I thought Thorne was coaching at the D1 level now? Did he get fired?
Ohhh I see now, his HC got fired... aww too bad.

Very good hire for Otterbein. I played under Z when he was the O-Lin coach at John Carroll. He's a great coach, and a better person. And he has a really, really good energy that really gets players fired up. Otterbein may not have the most talent at the moment, but I would definitely predict that this hire will put them back in the right direction.

There is no reason Otterbein shouldn't be winning 6+ games a year given their location and, unlike Cap, institutional support of sports. You could pull in a talented roster barely driving outside 270. I think that's a good job and it sounds like they hired a good coach. I'll definitely watch more Ott football this fall than usual.

former Mount WR and Navy Seal, Luc Meacham is playing ball overseas. Luc is an absolute dawg, and everything that you'd want a Purple Raider to be. What a D3 story...Champion-to-Navy Seal(!!!)-to-Euro Ball
