Losing coach before bowl nothing new to NIU
Seeing teams compete in bowl games without the coach who led them there is completely normal in today’s college football landscape.
For the second time in three seasons, Northern Illinois will be playing in a bowl game without the man who was on the sidelines throughout the regular season.
In 2010, Jerry Kill left DeKalb for Minnesota, and interim coach Tom Matukewicz led the Huskies to a 40-17 win over Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl less than two weeks later.
