I know he had a terrible year...2-26....but 3 NCAA tournament appearances in six years? There has to be more to the story right? 101-65 overall. So he entered the season 99-38, that’s pretty damn good. And he basically left after the game was over according to the local paper, the AD handled the post game. Always been a good person, I do hate this for him.

I'm with ya. Leaves right after the game. Obviously, he was told this is it. Did he even say goodbye to his team? Something is way off here. Saul is only 52 years old. Have to wonder what his next step is? Assistant coach somewhere at P4 level? I doubt he's ready for retirement. Made $550K at Ohio and $111K at Northern State. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,294 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to Northern State    Posted: 2/23/2025 7:59:19 PM  FearLeon wrote: FJC31 wrote: Any idea what happened with the program? 24-7 2 years ago to just 2 wins now is a flabbergasting fall.

The current AD didn’t hire Saul, so even if he wins a national title, the AD doesn’t get credit. That happens all the time.

But even adds to his abysmal record the last two years.

P4 assistant would be a tremendous promotion. Clearly the new AD didn't like this new trajectory, 1-12 at home, 1-21 in the conference, 10 wins last season. Tough scene. I think he may have exhausted all his ties. He might be unemployed for a while. Maybe he finds himself behind a really young head coach that needs some guidance.

He inherited a great squad and then they all transferred out after an epic collapse in the regional final. Even for a good D2 team, they had guys exiting stage left a little too frequently. I'm sure the new AD is a factor but have to win or you're out.

Stranger things have happened. This is one of the most idiotic things ever written on this board, and that is saying something. The guy just got fleshed out at a D2 school for winning 2 games in a season and he failed miserably in the MAC once already. Factor in his age, and this prediction can be filed under “moronic even for a guy that has a fetish for free shuttle rides.” Nobody in the MAC (lower or upper - what even is that?) is giving him another shot, much less him winning Coach of the Year.

No one in D1 will even interview him for a head job until at least after a few more years as an assistant.
