It was an impressive win. I wasn't thrilled with playing stall ball with around 10:00 left and a big lead but you do that against Tulane. Howard did a nice job of controlling the tempo but we got a lead because we rebounded, defended decently and pushed the ball up the court in transition. I like the improvement of Solomon. I think Betrand has a ways to go but he's going to be a really good defender.

No, he’s not going to make more than Rob. Rocco isn’t making all that much more than Rob https://www.delawareonline.com/story/sports/college/ud/2016/12/13/richmonds-rocco-new-blue-hens-football-coach/95367878/

Nobody is saying Rob is perfect. He has his flaws but to continue to talk shit about the program is getting so freakin' old. There are issues but at least they are addressing them, by adding two outstanding transfers on the D-line, will be adding another DC and now his brother his gone. At some point, you have to wonder if the assistant salaries are where it needs to be. Now he needs to find two competent coordinators who can also recruit. He's going to find another transfer DL or two and a big back (they are working on getting somebody). Last year, we added those transfers maybe a little too late in the summer instead of getting them before the spring. Not just Flacco but Chris Clark, DeBerry, Shuman, Gillette, Yeedee, etc. By the way, DeBerry was playing out of position at DE/OLB. I think that will be rectified in the spring when he moves to ILB.

It does? It tells you he's an alum who hasn't pursued other opportunities (hard) like every other successful coach in this league or he hasn't lost enough to get fired. But sure, this program sucks. Let's rail about the program after a very nice recruiting class on Early signing date and your dream of the OC gone.

He took more money. They offered it to him and let’s face it, they poached him from a rival CAA school. They also did the same thing with Rocco, taking him from Richmond.

Jared is a good guy and I wish his offense the best but I’ll never root for that program. And everybody is replaceable. Reading from Ed Lee’s article in the Sun, it sounds like we are going to hire from within. The good news is that all the coaches are new, hired within the last year or two. My assumption is that the new OC will be RB coach Scott Van Zile, who spent six seasons as the OC at Monmouth and was QB coach at Elon.

Not exactly, a handful of changes were made last season. New scheme on offense, changed to a 4-3 two seasons ago. Third DC coming in.

Right, FCS matters

Stunning news. Heard this was a possibility late last night but couldn’t confirm or release it. Not sure of the details but Rob has to replace both coordinators unless he takes the job himself and just hires a QB coach.

When there was just one signing day, Towson (TNS) used to produce a short video clip of highlights for each player. I'm going to try and do the same with help from Hudl.

All stories relevant to the Dec. 19 date will be posted here.

Kauffman graduates so they could go with his backup Josh Diaz but probably need one more tackle just in case it doesn’t work out. Yeedee will be a senior and he goes all our on special teams so there’s always a risk for injury. We just have too many similar backs and could use a few buggy ones.
