Brian said:I agree, while there wasn't a lot of hard information shared it was really good to hear how involved Ed is going to be in all aspects of the sports program. I did find it interesting that he mentioned how many coaches have reached out to him looking for jobs (no less than 150). While the number may be hyperbolic, it goes to show how respected he is and it's really freaking exciting. It also sounds like he will keep some of the current staff which I think would be a good thing.
I doubt that this is hyperbole. And I'd bet that number will grow. How many of them have the qualifications that you'd want, or fit what CEM wants to do is a different matter.
But I'd rather he have 150 to choose from than 15.
I'd love for one of his NFL buddies to be on staff even if they're just the place holders coach. Imagine two coaches going into a house to recruit a kid while wearing 5 Super Bowl rings between them.
Hell, I've got eligibility left.
I can't wait to see what attendance is like next season. I think we averaged around 4,500 this season. Bigger crowds and the money they bring would be a huge boon to the program.
