Podcast: Breaking down the coaching hires in the Big Ten

Any ideas who central Michigan may hire?

Been pretty tightly kept so not sure. Iā€™d like Andy Bronkema, the current Ferris State head coach or Ben McCollum, the head coach at Northwest Missouri State to get it personally. NW MO State has won 3 of the last 4 national championships where there has been a tournament. The one they didnā€™t was won by Bronkema and Ferris State.

Went to the Cornerstone University basketball camp when I was in middle school and was coached by Andy there for a summer or two. Great guy who deserves the success heā€™s having. As a Chippewa, would be really excited to see him get the job.

I went to CMU as well. Would be thrilled with him being the guy. To be honest I thought it was a no brainer. It shouldā€™ve been done and wrapped up by now. He lives an hour away in Big Rapids and is from Mcbain. He wouldnā€™t really have to uproot his family and be somewhere where they donā€™t know anyone, and heā€™s a proven high level coach who can pull kids from Detroit, Saginaw, Flint, transfers etc.

Hey, I thought Fife left because Stephens was the heir apparent. s/
