Dear Central Michigan: I’m Sorry.

Dear Central Michigan,
So we took your football coach…again. I’m sorry. You should be used to it by now, since we took Brian Kelly from you in 2006. Anyways, in case you haven’t been following the news, we lost our head coach and needed a new one urgently. UC is 12-0 this season and will be playing in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day. You guys are 11-2 and are playing the GMAC Bowl. We’re in the Big East, you’re in the MAC. No disrespect to you guys, but UC is a higher caliber program, and we needed a coach. Those things aside, we do have something in common: at this point we’re both just stepping stone schools for the next level. I feel your pain.
I am sorry that we hired your coach before your bowl game, but if you think I feel bad for you, I don’t. Like you, this is also the second time that a coach has left our school since 2006. I don’t know about you, but both times our coaches lied and claimed they “loved it in Cincinnati” and “aren’t leaving.” Both times those claims proved to be false, and the coach left for what he thought was a better offer. Mark Dantonio was 6-6 this year at Michigan State, finishing a terrible 6th in the Big Ten. Brian Kelly is taking over a Notre Dame program that hasn’t seen a National Championship or Heisman Trophy winner since the mid 80’s. They too were 6-6 this season. Good luck BK. You had a great run here, but tarnished your character on exit.
So anyways, I’m sorry that we took your coach…but it’s just the way the system works. It sucks, but I don’t see it changing anytime soon. Like I said, we now have lost two great coaches to supposedly better programs with deeper pockets and better facilities. All we can do is move forward with the new guy…I suggest you do the same. Please don’t hate Cincinnati.
Respectfully Yours,
Jonathan Lepolt
