Most Aces fans are asking the same thing. The Marty era is a failure, and should end as soon as possible. Unfortunately, few of us have confidence in the AD and even President to have the vision and desire to bring back this program to where it should be.
I agree with Pafan. I would be happy to take Barry right now. His personality is EXACTLY what we need to re-energize the fan base. Our success was always small school with large fan base from the community. Marty has no clue how to mine that field, but Barry certainly does. The Evansville media and boosters would eat that up.
