Worst Case Scenario?

[whoanellie]

the one constant in this world is CHANGE!
for Elon it has always changed.

Time does not wait for any of us. Elon's price of success is that good work is you get promoted.
Our former coach, (I do not want to write his name because I see the hype machine at his new job begin to market him in a way He would never do at Elon. I even saw He has established his freak'n Twitter Account.) is even going to be going to chapters of booster clubs across Virginia. He certainly did not have that profile at Numen Lumen. All he did was coach winning football and turn around our football program.

He leaves us in a worse case scenario, less than a week before early signing day, theree years of development is always based on recruiting. At this writing our AD has yet to name a successor or even an interim Head Coach. Why?
JMU felt the pressure and took our guy to save their recruits. In just North Carolina alone there were at least 6 D-1 Head coaching moves this season. We are probably ranked ranked #5 on this list behind in status or pay behind UNC, ECU, App St, UNCC, Us & NCCU.
Also there are like 8 to 9 openings open on the FCS level now. We are a top 20 program. We must be getting interest, aren't We? I wish Dave Black had a published E-mail address what is the search committee doing?

Also our assistants that are leaving with the old Head coach are being courted by other schools for other Head coaching opportunities. My take on other posts is what is the delay in getting a quality guy like a Trisciani to keep the blueprint in place.Is The CAA is too competitive? Maybe We should move back to the Big South, not!



Am I the only one that cares? I think not.

Just my 2 cents. I know the former coach did some good things and he helped to raise the football program, BUT leaving less than a week before signing day. Come on man, that's kind of crappy.

‘Interest” is hard to evaluate. Guys like swepson and Skrosky are plentiful. Someone who is really good will take a cautious approach. When someone of Cigs caliber departs to your conference rival, days prior to signing day it doesn’t look good nor reflect well on the program, more importantly the administration.

The AD should always have 2-3 candidates in mind for every sport’s HC slot. Blank shouldn’t have to interview anyone on the current staff, he should know them well.

There are 8 HC FCS openings down from 22 a week ago. None of the assistants have left. Ponder that point until we begin to hear that they are leaving for JMU.
