From Football Scoop:
Elon: We understand there are some reports linking Charleston Southern head coach Jamey Chadwell to the Elon opening. Our understanding is he is not and has not been a candidate for that opening. We understand Dave Blank has conducted a number of phone calls with prospective candidates. Will update once more is clear regarding who might get the job.
Well, Blank better hit a home run. I'm not sure there are many other candidates that are better than Chadwell.
This better end up with a great coach.

"Is not/has not..." Whether he turns us down or we don't like what we see, he has got to be in the mix, right? If not this administration is either comprised of a bunch of dimwitted dolts, or there is an ulterior political agenda. There can be no other choice.

Does anyone know why Richmond and UTC passed on Chadwell?
This proves more and more that Blank is unqualified to be AD.
Looks NCCU coach will be our choice.

I'm hearing that Jerry Mack is our ADs first choice.

Mack is a winner.
I just read his contract at NCCU. He is making $200K/year. The tricky part and this may be the industry standard, if Mack doesn't receive written permission from the President to pursue another role his buyout is the face value of the contract paid within 15 days. In tthis case about $400K.
Again may be nothing as long as NCCU are willing to part with him. May explain the delay as well.
Seems to be a running joke about Chadwell continually being passed over on social media and the charleston press.

Mack could be an interesting choice. NCCU hasn't had a losing season since Mack took the helm: 7-5, 8-3, 9-3.....all 3 years winning the MEAC and going 21-3 in conference play. Some of the OOC game haven't look good, but it appears he knows how to run a program.
As I said in a previous post, Mack is a name I haven't thought about. Very intriguing.
Wonder why folks keep passing on Chadwell in FCS and FBS?

I hadn't considered Jerry Mack, but the more I read/watch, I am becoming a big fan...this type of passion would be very refreshing for our program...

We are 10 days into our search. We've had one press release and one sound bite to the paper in Burlington from Blank. Neither of those contained any leadership.
I hope we get someone soon and I hope they are great.

I have confirmed from an external source that Chadwell is not under consideration at all. Too much drama with him and CSU administration.
I have heard we are looking at a lot of assistants with no head coaching experience and a few high school coaches

High school coaches hmmm... really digging deep here. That has only happened a few time I think with HS coaches from from some major high school football teams. Looks like Blank is shooting from the hip with no rhyme or reason. This could be interesting.
