November 23, 201510 yr I thought they had a nice season going but I didn't keep up with them the last few games.
November 23, 201510 yr I guess EKU wanting to move up to D-1 at some point has them ready to move on from Coach Hood...had a pretty good conference record over his span at EKU [TABLE=class: wikitable] [TR] [TH]Year[/TH] [TH]Team[/TH] [TH]Overall[/TH] [TH]Conference[/TH] [TH]Standing[/TH] [TH]Bowl/playoffs[/TH] [TH]TSN[4]#[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD=colspan: 9, align: center]Eastern Kentucky Colonels (Ohio Valley Conference) (2008–present)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2008[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]8–4[/TD] [TD]7–1[/TD] [TD]1st[/TD] [TD]L NCAA Division I First Round[/TD] [TD=align: right]19[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2009[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]5–6[/TD] [TD]5–3[/TD] [TD]T–2nd[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD=align: right][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2010[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]6–5[/TD] [TD]5–2[/TD] [TD]T-2nd[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD=align: right][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2011[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]7–5[/TD] [TD]6–2[/TD] [TD]T–1st[/TD] [TD]L NCAA Division I First Round[/TD] [TD=align: right][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2012[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]8–3[/TD] [TD]6–2[/TD] [TD]T–2nd[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD=align: right]19[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2013[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]6–6[/TD] [TD]4–4[/TD] [TD]T–5th[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD=align: right][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2014[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]9–4[/TD] [TD]6–2[/TD] [TD]2nd[/TD] [TD]L NCAA Division I First Round[/TD] [TD=align: right]18[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]Eastern Kentucky[/TD] [TD]5–4[/TD] [TD]4–2[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD=align: right][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=colspan: 2, align: center]Eastern Kentucky:[/TD] [TD]54–37[/TD] [TD]43–18[/TD] [TD=colspan: 5][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=colspan: 2, align: center]Total:[/TD] [TD]54–37[/TD] [TD=colspan: 7][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
November 23, 201510 yr Not sure if all the blame was Hood's, but they do a horrible job of recruiting KY. They spend a lot of time recruiting guys that can't play from FL, especially the skill positions.
November 23, 201510 yr Roy Kidd isn't walking back through that door! EKU needs to go find some D-2 coach that is full of energy and big time offense.
November 23, 201510 yr Not sure if all the blame was Hood's, but they do a horrible job of recruiting KY. They spend a lot of time recruiting guys that can't play from FL, especially the skill positions. EKU has always did a bad job of this, they are not very good at keeping their word.
November 23, 201510 yr School president really focused on athletics and it's hard to justify a move to FBS if you finish fourth in your league. Losing at home to UTM was the last straw.
November 23, 201510 yr What a shock, I don't think too many seen that coming. Maybe they will begin recruiting KY better, there are plenty of kids here that can play at that level by their JR year. Just because your from Fla don't mean your better than a KY kid. A KY kid would play with more pride and heart since they are from here and bottom line is get more people,in the stands.
November 23, 201510 yr Maybe the next EKU head coach will realize that Tomas More makes deep playoff runs every year because EKU's program does not recruit NKy. Sorry, EKU spending public $ on character challenged out of state kids, forcing our kids to go out of state to play just burns me up. Good Riddance Coach Hood!

I think you meant to say TMC has success because they DO recruit NKY, correct? How many players from NKY over the last 4 years could have played at EKU that weren't recruited?

There is a talent difference between EKU and TMC. They're at TMC for a reason. Not sure why EKU let's KY kids go to Miami, Austin Peay, etc but takes 1 star kids from out of state.
November 23, 201510 yr I think you meant to say TMC has success because they DO recruit NKY, correct? How many players from NKY over the last 4 years could have played at EKU that weren't recruited? Five NKY kids on the roster for EKU this season- Kelly, Eyckmanns, Miller, Bowling, Vercheak.
November 23, 201510 yr Just from memory, in last years class : Ross Hedger Olmstead Deaton Given time, I could think of more. Furthermore, I find really strange that Coach Hood, who puts on this fabulous Christian Facade, imports some of the most character challenged people out there.
November 23, 201510 yr Five NKY kids on the roster for EKU this season- Kelly, Eyckmanns, Miller, Bowling, Vercheak. I'm asking which NKY kids could have gone there but weren't recruited.
