Meigs alum and Marshall Hall of Famer Mike Bartrum has been hired to head the Red Storm for their sophomore season.
With his NFL and NCAA connections, plus his SE Ohio roots, this is a no brainer for me. He's got his work cut out for him, but if anyone can do it, it's Bartrum. Will be interesting to see who he puts on his staff and where he starts recruiting.

anybody else wonder if the fix was on to make MB the coach? he and the prez go way back...
i think the first staff were sacrificial lambs. everybody knew it would be a rough start for the program and having somebody else take the whipping protects the rep of Meigs' fave son

Who knew that an esoteric skill like bending over and throwing a football under your ass could impress people so much?

Didn’t Bartrum take Meigs HS to the playoffs several times?
Surely that says something about his coaching prowess.
