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?

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?

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.
