Doesn’t Amplo have a child that attends USNA?

Yes

Doesn’t Amplo have a child that attends USNA?

Yes

So does half the staff

[gymman1031]

Any word on High Point?

[getitdone]

With the increased salaries of the coaches comes increased expectations. I am surprised there were not more coaches sent to the sidelines.

I thought High Point hired from within.

Would not have guessed this one

gymman's long national nightmare is over. Navy has an OC

This also confirms that the High Point HC job is indeed open. Curious the caliber of candidate they're attracting. Someone implied earlier that it may be better than expected. Relatively low-pressure gig, good weather, winnable conference. There certainly are worse jobs

Maybe Lenoir-Rhyne coach Greg Paradine? He has done a great job in that state at the DII level.

He’s done a great job at Lenoir Rhyne. It isn’t easy to win there. I will say though, his tenure at UNC was incredibly underwhelming. A fairly toxic era for that program; under achieving, party/drug culture was rampant, etc. Haus had such a great run during that tenure at his alma mater that he was fired and shipped off to Siberia (Lebanon Valley College in D3 and has been there since). I don’t know. I would just have a lot of questions about culture, etc. That era at UNC was the complete antithesis of the culture Torpey created at High Point. The returning players at HPU likely have high standards for what they want for their program (obviously they don’t hire the new coach, but just thinking aloud here).

Umm what??! I guess what Paradine has accomplished at L-R is a non-sequitur?

Any thoughts on where Mike Daly might be landing?

Not saying that all. The first I said was he’s done a great job there and it isn’t easy to win there. But if I were an AD and I was plugged into the sport, it would be difficult to ignore his tenure at UNC and the state of the program while he was there. Outside of LR, that tenure was the meat of his resume. You have to consider it right?

[FMUBart]

That was 20 years ago, and, assuming what you said is true, he was an assistant, not HC. SMH

Any thoughts on where Mike Daly might be landing?

Historically if a Brown HC doesn't graduate to UVa they go (back) to D3.
(Not Stevenson though.)

[Argyle23]

Any thoughts on where Mike Daly might be landing?

I’d pick Merrimack or an assistant coach opening. Can’t picture him at Detroit or High Point. Nothing exciting in the D3 carousel that would lure him back.

Didn’t Paradine win a championship as a player at UNC?

Keep in mind TWs tenure after running things at a similar level at Limestone. Great recruiter couldn’t keep control granted he had a poisonous and treacherous assistant backdooring him but that seems to be a general characteristic of a lot of the top D2 coaches-great recruiter and super nice guys but too loose and generally not the best Xs and Os guys?

[Farfromgeneva]

Wouldn’t looking at an Eric Wolf if he wanted to make a move be interesting to HPU?

Or if, sorry MD, Kerwin realized he was going to have a low ceiling and not as much support as he envisioned in Hanover?

Too loose, maybe?
Generally not good Xs and Os guys is not fair. There are a number of super talented coaches at that level. Some of which have successfully coached in all 3 divisions.

Seems to be a general characteristic of a lot would leave room for “a number of super talented coaches at that level” though wouldn’t it?

How do you feel about Sheehan and Morgan? TW was not an Xs and Os guy hit a good guy. He was closer to a Kerwick than I think folks want to admit around Geneva. Do you object to the idea that D2 plenty of D2 coaches with success fit the description above though? They aren’t mutually exclusive. But there’s a difference with D1 on that it seems was my point where a Kerwick or others could easily be be named. I recall you coaches at Presby so you should both have better info AND probably your own biases as well.

How about the d3 guys like a Stagnitta or Nelson or Daly?
