DeBerry was a great coach, he made the Air Force Academy a threat. His kids were never the biggest, the fastest, or the most talented, but they could play with anyone in the country. DeBerry will be right next to Lavelle Edwards as one of the best in WAC/MWC football history. I hope his replacement can keep Air Force a consistant winner. The MWC has lost a great coach.

Now with DeBerry gone maybe my New Mexico Lobos can finnaly figure out a way to beat the flyboys!!!

I'm sad to see him go. I would have liked for him to weather the criticism and then go out on a winning season.

You're a New Mexico Lobos fan, eh? May I ask what the chances are of Amadeus Waters starting at running back next year?

Wow! That's a stunner! A talented close friend of our daughter is a freshman football player there this year. I wonder how he'll be impacted by this announcement. He was considering a transfer at one point, but I think he decided to wait the year out. Wondering what he'll do now...

Even though it's harder to win at the academies, I know coach's jobs can often ride on winning against the other services. Army and Navy can be like Auburn-Alabama with the Generals and Admirals being the bigshot alumns who can make or break a coach. With Navy being on the upswing and the AFA sliding the last few years, it's possible this wasn't voluntary.
