Ten or so years ago, the USM folks got tired of just winning and forced Bower out. Larry Fedora rode the coat tails of Bowers recruiting for four years culminating in the 2011 season where the Eagles were one play away from playing in the Sugar Bowl. Fedora then jumped ship to UNC knowing that the program was about fall apart because he did not recruit very well.

Had they left Bower alone, he might still be coaching them today. The 0-12 in twenty twelve would have never happened and though they may have had a season or two where they struggled the overall program would have been much better over last 7 years.

Truer words were never spoken. When you have a proven coach and he is consistently good... think twice before you let him go. The grass isn't greener most of the time.
