Best of luck to Jim Les. No matter how it turned out here, he's still one of our own, and I hope he does well. I also wouldn't mind them coming to our place to play every once in a while, once the "old wounds" are assuaged.

Wow, I thought his D1 days were over. This tells a lot about the quality of coaching candidates. I'm guessing the years of experience put him over the top.

I'm not sure that's a fair assessment. JL had more bad luck with injuries at BU that anyone could have imagined.

No coach is perfect, but it's certainly reasonable to consider the injuries when looking at the results -- regardless of how you feel about the decision to let JL go.

Think Sean Harris or some other Yuba kids might end up there? Connection and proximity...

Good for him. I may have to catch one of their games at Fullerton or Irvine next year.

Congrats to Coach Les. I figured someone would give him another shot if he decided he wanted it.

Think he'll bust out a bright yellow jacket?

Congrats Jim hope all goes well for you and your family. Hope someday you'll be able to say "Once a Brave always a Brave".

Wonder if Jim will add Coach Corn to his staff as an assistant?

Congrats Jim! Great to hear. I know you will do well there and hope you will have a long run there!
