for bringing our program back to the top level of conference. He inherited a program in shambles after only one year of Eloss' tenure. We are in a much better position going into this coaching search.
I believe Monken made the decision to leave based on his love of the NFL. I also believe that he saw the issues with financial support at USM. He knew that he would never get a pay day like the Tampa Bay OC job nor be able to offer recruits top tier facilities.
I selfishly wish that he had waited two weeks to make the announcement. However, I respect him for coming forward immediately. The recruits needed to know instead of pulling the rug out after signing day.
I'm not mad that he's leaving and wish him the best. He did a really good job in a short period of time. Hopefully we will continue the positive momentum.
