Surely, you are joking. Comments like that are just stupid.

Surely, you are joking. Comments like that are just stupid. sure it's out there, but wait it does have some merit. A proven winner and a wealth of contacts... may have to revamp staff but it would sell seats and w/ ASU going thru a tail spin it's like South Carolina getting Lou Holtz until Spurrier got there. Get the culture back to winning.

Top of my list would be Jamey Chaldwell at Charleston Southern.
Anyone who can take a 35 scholarship team from what has been a complete joke, to 7-0 says a lot. Sure they haven't played terribly strong opponents. But, they beat App in Boone (something we have never done), they are 7-0 (something we haven't done since I started Elon).
After this year, he's got to be getting some notice.

FC, CSU is 2-0 against the SoCon this year. Their coach has them stepping up in big games.
They are about to hit a small gauntlet in their schedule, so let's see how they perform.

No one expects anyone to beat FBS teams mid to late season. It just won't happen. So regardless, those games are throwaways. Coastal is going to be a good measuring stick.

I am reviving this thread simply because I can't continue to watch Elon football with this head coach. We're joining a tougher FB conference next season and after losing to WCU like this (these second half collapses are inexcusable) I simply can't tolerate as a fan of Elon. I suspect, he'll blame the players who don't know how to win...under you're coaching Mr. Swepson, that's not a mystery.

Let the discussion begin.... Ah the rise and fall are complete, full with every fan talking nuts about us again. Thus is officially worse than Paul Hamilton. Time to get this arrogant yankee not a very nice person out of Elon

As I noted after the 0 - 70 debacle to start the season.... Quote Edit like Post Options Post by phightingphoenix1 on Sep 1, 2013 at 12:57pm Let's see what Swepson can do 3/4 through the season. He will then have had 2 and 3/4 years to show what he is capable of. If the results are fair/poor - let him go. Teams are now parting ways with ineffective coaches earlier, as to avoid the massive hiring and firing at the end of the season. It allows time to prepare and target good candidates. This was a poor hire by Blank to start with. What happens from now on will show us what direction Elon wants to take in regard to football. Either, the administration/board are satisfied with mediocrity or worse and want to put all eggs in the basketball basket, ala Davidson - or - want to aggressively pursue a desire to be a football contender in the CAA.

From the verge of a conference championship back to the cellar.

Our 2nd half scoring for our last 5 games is: 0,0,3,3,3...that's pathetic. Our coach obviously doesn't know how to adapt after half time, so it's time for us to make a coaching change

I hate to say this, and I doubt the administration will care, but this long time season ticket holder won't be back if Swepson is...there are better ways to invest my money and support. I love Elon as much as anyone, and I've given to this school in so many ways, but I won't continue blindly giving if the school doesn't commit to being the best it can be. I'm sure he's a fine person, but this hire has failed and there's nothing on the horizon to make me think it will get better.
