I figured this may happen. I Think Folmar will make a good HC at Lehigh. Can’t blame him for wanting to coach at his alma mater!

[fc4life]

Not his alma mater but he was the OC there.

Ah...correct. He played at Millersville. My memory had that and his stint at Lehigh backwards!

F*** cignetti.

As of right now he is staying. No plans to go to Lehigh.

Appears the football scoop story has twice been revised.

Did Elon counter with a raise and the AHC title? The school is getting a large payout from JMU

Wow since 2005 there has been a trail of coaches between Elon & Lehigh.

The Patriot League.......where Elon would have been a better fit in terms of academic mission statement, athletic budget, cost of attendance and satisfying the Northeast footprint that the alumni wanted.

In my humble and uninformed opinion, in football and basketball, Elon will be swimming upstream to consistently compete in the CAA for awhile.

Thrre are people who think the Patriot may be where Towson (again), Charleston, Elon, Villanova (football), Richmond (football) and W&M may end up in the long run.

[fc4life]

I’m not sure we will go Patriot. How big of a league are you wanting? That’s a lot of schools.

There is one thing that is clear:
*W&M, Richmond, Villanova and Elon - Academic requirements high...reliance on transfers - FBS and JuCo - minimal.

Then...the rest of the CAA.

It is not a level playing field.

interesting but you changed the topic, it desereves a new thread. What does this happen to do with a coaching hire.?

He is a new member so it is okay....

Just an FYI ... today Lehigh announced Tom Gilmore as its next head coach.

[whoanellie]

just an observation but Lehigh is a great place to train Elon coaches and but it's a one way road.
coaches do not return and move elsewhere. We have at least 3 coaches on the staff currently that had coached or played at Elon previously. A great recruiting point.
