2015 FCS Coaching Moves

[tony]

I know there is a Coach K thread with a lot of this information.

FCS teams that need new coaches (so far):

Austin Peay
Eastern Kentucky
Jackson State
Maine
Montana State
South Dakota
Southern Illinois

I wonder if USD would go with Rob Ash? Although if they like the direction the program is heading, you'd think that they'd promote an assistant.

You have to think whatever job Ash takes the next job is probably his last job.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next week at SIU. Can't see them buying out Lennon but you wouldn't want a lame duck coach either.

A lot of offensive minded coaches either hired or being interviewed in the valley. I find that interesting when it had been defenses that cost a lot of head coaches these jobs opening up in the first place. I get head coach is an executive leadership position and they hire coordinators to run their perspective sides of the ball, but it is a defense first conference.

Maybe they gave up on defense and want to try chucking the pigskin.
Playing defense is hard. No purple
Maybe players like seeing their name in the stats. Dont get that shine with defense.

You mean a fist full of rings type of shine??? :cool: I do understand what you're saying. Makes no sense to try and go with a go for broke offensive strategy but I'm not the one making the big decisions.
