Rick Sowell is out and a significant job comes open. Did the Navy brass act quickly because they have someone in mind? Will they go for an existing head coach and spark a game of coaching musical chairs? Will the former Navy Head coach land another head job for 2020? Could he end up back in the Ivy League?
Lots of questions come out of this move.

Re: Coaching Carousel Post-2019 Season
Is Harvard finally making lacrosse a priority? Did Yale’s triumph last season finally awaken this long-sleeping lacrosse giant? Will the Crimson finally party like it’s 1912 again?!?!?The Orfling wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 10:32 pm And now Harvard is moving on from HC Chris Wojcik: https://twitter.com/Inside_Lacrosse/sta ... 38432?s=20
Best wishes to Coach Wojcik.

Re: Coaching Carousel Post-2019 Season
I’d be surprised if DeLuca ended up back at Harvard—his appointment as Associate Head Coach of the Crimson didn’t seem to change the trajectory much — but who knows. Ryan Moran is an interesting name for Navy, wonder if he would be interested.

Re: Coaching Carousel Post-2019 Season
Very good list, Joe. For the Harvard job in particular, I wonder if either of Yale’s assistants (D coordinator Baxter or O coordinator Stimmel) might get a look? Familiarity with Ivy League recruiting etc. could be a plus.jerzyjoe81 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 6:43 am I’m going to list those that I listed on another thread:

Re: Coaching Carousel Post-2019 Season
I know Tillman loves Navy, but I don’t see leaving a program with which you have had so much success so recently, and have so much support from the University. Among other things, the universe of recruits Maryland can get (including via transfer) is wider than the universe of recruits available to Navy.
But who knows.
Re: Coaching Carousel Post-2019 Season
Would not be at all surprised to see Harvard take a hard look at some D3 names, Jon Thompson being maybe the most obvious potential fit.
Re: Coaching Carousel Post-2019 Season
Is Harvard caught up in the practice of hiring alums only?

Not sure Tillman leaves unless asked. I thought that was impossible last week, but with the way the terps have played twice in a row against a middling Hopkins team. If the terps continue their slide and implode in the ncaas It’s not outside the realm of possibilities It’s now about a .0001 percent chance now. Unless Tillman just wants a change of scenery.

Can’t imagine Tillman leaving Maryland for any other program. Don’t think Maryland would ever let him go without a fight. Perfect fit ... doubt he is going anywhere but stranger things have happened.ABV 8.3% wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 7:53 am Tillman to Annapolis make sense on so many levels.

Just to be clear, DeLuca will Very likely not be asked to return to Harvard. The AD had that experience already.
DeLuca is in a good environment for his success.

Jon Thompson is a Brown alum, really wanted the Brown job but Daly was tapped instead. Scalise is himself a Brown alum, knows Thompson well.
I think he's had his eye on BU HC for awhile too.
But it could be someone totally different.

Every HC since 1974 has been an Ivy grad (Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Harvard). Not always Harvard.
