Wiley to ECU?

Post by mcveyrl »

I went home for lunch and the local news was reporting that John Wiley was leaving ASU to become the DC at ECU.

Is this old news here? I looked around and couldn't find it, but thought it was odd that I was receiving fresh FCS news from our local station.

Anyway, that's what they reported.

Nevermind, search found it tucked in the Let's Talk FCS thread...

Looking at footballscoop, it's saying that Wiley will NOT be the DC. Brian Mitchell will be the DC and Wiley will be the linebackers/Asst. Head Coach.

I'm glad to see Coach Wiley have an opportunity to move forward with his career, but for very selfish reasons I hate to see it happen. App has a lot to replace this off-season.

I had no idea that he was that close to Ruffin McNeil. Nice move for him.

It is a nice move. And nice to see Ruffin moving up as well. Coach Moore's assistants are doing well.

Yes they are VERY close. In fact I was told that had McNeil been named the HC at Texas Tech that Wiley was likely to join him out there.

Hate to see coach Wiley go, but can't blame him. Great opportunity to get a promotion to FBS, promotion to Asst. Head Coach, and to work with a good friend without having to move very far. Congrats to him.
