I think you guys are being a little too nice to Coach Preston. He never did anything at Rowan besides beat teams that were horrible. He better thank god everyday that Western gave him the job because he was being ran out of Rowan! Everybody knew Western would be good this year. They won 10 games last year and returned several starters (including the backs that had similiar stats last year). The only new addition is Norman that came from Rowan. In my honest opinion, I think Coach Preston will find some way to choke and not make it to the big dance. (Just like he did at Rowan against the likes of West Carter and Morgan). Let's see how they finish up this year and better yet, how they do next year. Anybody can coach talent. Doug Preston proved he could not build a team at Rowan when he hand picked his schedule and still could not produce a winning season. Hell, he gave new teams like Pendleton county one of their first wins (04) and helped Montgomery get their only W in 05.
I hardly think his name should should be mentioned in the same sentence as Bear Bryant. Wait, your right. He does a good job of acting like a coach in a movie and screaming and yelling, it's the "teaching" part he struggles with.
