Wisconsin Green Bay

The Green Bay Press Gazette has a column about Wisconsin-Green Bay's first year under new coach Matt Bollant. It touches on the difficulty of evaluating a coaches first year, particularly if they follow someone who had long term success:
Borseth, who began his UWGB coaching career by losing eight of his first 11 games, was intent on ingraining his way into his players even though he took over a highly successful team with returning players. Bollant largely went the other way, giving in to a group that was used to playing Borseth's way. It's been a healthy move for the short term, but if at some point he wants his philosophies to come through, it might be tougher because his foundation hasn't been completely built.
