Lol I remeber him 1 season at JMU, where he barely saw the field, if at all. Think was 3rd string QB that season. 4 colleges in 5 seasons.
Cosh played five seasons of college football as a quarterback, playing at Houston (2013-14), Butler Community College (2012), James Madison (2011) and Kansas State (2010).
He must be only around 31..

How are the players taking it? More or less opting for the transfer portal?

How has the fanbase reacted?
Fanbase likes the hire, players haven't hit the portal yet.

Yes but that is not going to help on the field when it comes to play calling.
Fans are the ones complaining about an OC with 5 years of playoff experience and 2 championships.
Ok thanks

Mike Minter Resigns from Campbell

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Campbell, who a decade ago hired a former NFL star minimal coaching experience as head coach before it became the in-thing in FCS, will have to decide on a new football leader. Minter went 49-66 in 11 seasons with the Fighting Camels while the school played in 3 difference conferences. He never posted a record better than 6-5.

For all the bitching about Roehls offense...

2023 NDSU OFFENSE
#1 Total Offensive TD (69)
#1 Rushing TD (47)
#1 Rushing Yards (3560)
#1 First Downs (320)
#2 Team Passing Efficiency (170)
#2 Completion % (71%)
#2 Redzone Offense (94%)
#3 3rd Down Conv (50%)
#4 Rushing Offense (5.7 / 237)
#6 Yards per play (6.99)

PFF Total FBS and FCS Combined Ratings (261 Teams)
#1 Passing Grade
#1 Receiving Grade
#4 Overall Offense Grade
#8 Key Plays
#17 Run Blocking (#5 FCS Only)
#26 Rushing Grade (#7 FCS Only)


The bitching was because he doesn't run a 22 offense where it is dives and traps 85% of the time with the extreme majority of the passing game being to TE and FB in the flat like it's 1979 again.

Alcorn won't be bringing McNair back, regardless. They promoted defensive-coordinator Cedric Thomas to head coach. Thomas went 8-14 in 2 seasons at Pine Bluff at the end of the 2010s.

Grambling Hires Mickey Joseph

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Joseph, who was the interim coach at Nebraska for most of 2022, is now the head man at Grambling. Possible controversy as Joseph was charged with domestic assault with strangulation around the end of his time at Nebraska (the charges were dropped).

Southern Elevates Terrence Graves

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

I missed this one last week, but Jaguar interim coach Terrence Graves was given the full job. His entire head-coaching history thus far (all interim) consists of 2 Bayou Classics, where his record is 2-0 (1 win with each team). :lol:

Marist Hires Mike Willis

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Willis, who was the assistant head coach at Princeton the past 6 seasons (also OC for the last 3), is moving a little ways north for the top job in Poughkeepsie. This will be his first season as a coach or player anywhere other than Princeton since he was in high school.

Belated Coaching Change Upkeep

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Campbell hired away Braxton Harris from Houston Christian. HCU promoted OC Jason Bachtel to replace him.

FAMU's Willie Simmons was poached by Duke to be their RBs coach.

Murray State's Dean Hood retired. He went 15-25 in 4 seasons with the Racers after going 55-38 in 8 seasons at EKU.

Texas Southern still hasn't hired a coach. :?

Texas Southern Finally Makes a Hire

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

The Tigers went with former Houston Oilers (among other teams) CB Cris Dishman as their new head coach. A semi-random hire: he's a former NFL starter for TSU's former hometown NFL team, but he's hardly a household name and he's never been anything beyond a DBs coach.

Tim Murphy Retires/Murray Makes a Hire

Harvard's Tim Murphy retired after 29 seasons. He posted a record of 200-89 with 10 Ivy League titles and 3 undefeated seasons ('01, '04, '14). Adding in his stints at Maine & Cincinnati, Murphy went 232-134-1 over 36 seasons with a playoff appearance in 1987.

Murray State hired South Carolina TEs coach Jody Wright to replace Dean Hood. Wright played for Jacksonville State in the early 2000s.

Those worries are now gone. San Jose State hired former Navy HC Ken Niumataolo, a known proponent of the triple option, which apparently caused Brock Purdy's baby brother Chubba to decommit in the portal out of Nebraska and commit to Nevada instead. Odd given that Nevada is in the same league as San Jose State and Niumataolo has pledged to find an OC with an offense more modern than the triple option....
