I heard Marquardt and Bookmeyer are going to take over mixed martial arts program as Co-Coaches.
I am sure this guy will be fine and I wish him well. But, I don’t understand any of this coaching issue. First with the AD and then Penner saying we are short 5 coaches, then Jeff Horner’s comments, which I thought were right on.. Then not even a mention of rehiring award winning coach, Bob Horner. There has to be more to it than what we are seeing. It appears that the people are finally speaking up and asking the School board questions,– which rarely happens. About time!!
