Culture is important so I hope the captains are part of the search process. As for crawley, I'm sure he'll be on to greener pastures again in a few years.
maybe. or maybe he has an opportunity to mold a program in his own image with a good amount of support and a good foundation.
Perhaps. He's only been coaching for about 7 years and this will be his 5th job. First time he's been a part of a head coaching search to my knowledge and he got the offer and accepted. He's moving up and around about as fast it's possible to do so.
Jury was certainly out on Crawley. While i wish he didn't leave, i and others certainly wanted to see more from the offense down the stretch.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 9:07 pm I won't say anything bad about Crawley - don't know the man but I will say I wonder how he got the job.

In 2021 Lehigh went 10-2 and you don't have to read very far in a bio to discover that the 14 goals per game was the highest for Lehigh in quite some time. One caveat to that however - 5 of those wins and many many of those goals were on the backs of playing Bucknell twice (2-6) 36 goals, Lafayette twice 32 goals and NJIT 24 goals. 92 goals in 5 games - that of course is almost 20 per game. When they played Rutgers in the NCAAs they scored 5. The next year with many of the same players - Cole/Kirst etc. they averaged 3 goals less per game. Now with Hopkins and two major additons - Collison and Melendez the Jays offense increased its GPG output from 11 to 12.5 - not bad - then with virtually the exact same team - it dropped back closer to 11 in 24 and there certainly wasn't anyone on this board sending Hopkins last 6 or so game tapes into the Hall of Fame for offensive prowess. So wish him the best - maybe he will return to Homewood as the big cheese someday but slightly puzzled at this decision by High Point at this time.

In fairness, you've got an accreditor whose name appears to be pronounced Sacks Cock. No wonder they have trouble securing compliance; this is like assigning a Mr. Richard Swett to run 8th grade detention.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 10:19 pm Now, if only that pesky academic accreditation board will just leave the school alone ….

Well, true. SACSCOC handles accreditation for the Old Confederacy, so it all kinda makes sense.Homer wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 12:21 amIn fairness, you've got an accreditor whose name appears to be pronounced Sacks Cock.

I guess the rejoinder here is, well, you aren't hiring him to be OC. You can certainly hire a guy where part of the appeal is he's proven to be a great tactician on one side of the ball and he'll have de facto control there. But you can also hire a guy who says, "my boss's model has been to delegate very clearly to the OC and DC, I've seen it work, I know how make it work, and that's what I plan to do here." In that case it's not really so much about Crawley's track record improving (or not) the offensive output as OC. It's more a matter of, you've got multiple data points where a program holistically got stronger while he was there and people involved say, "yeah, this was the key guy in that."51percentcorn wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 9:07 pm I won't say anything bad about Crawley - don't know the man but I will say I wonder how he got the job.

I hope they hire an OC who will play up tempo.jhu06 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 9:11 am The Crawley news conference ! An in person lacrosse coaching news conference !!! is up on the HPU athletics website. Did a nice job of thanking everyone. Good luck to him.
The only certainties I know about the new oc search are that there will be typos in the inside lacrosse reports and quint will have comments that will drive many of you absolutely nuts.
Petro has taken a beating for awhile especially on his recruiting but this is a validation of him, someone this young rushing through the ranks. I think one of you mentioned we have the younger brother of Nolting-a former HPU star coming soon.primitiveskills wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 10:22 am Losing assistants to HC jobs is the sign of a healthy and successful program.

Honest question. What kind of reputation do you think our defensive coordinator carries in the lacrosse world? Without burying the guy here it is in no way in the league of Crawley but I will say it is exactly why Crawley is a HC and our DC is not.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 9:07 pm I won't say anything bad about Crawley - don't know the man but I will say I wonder how he got the job.

Jamison is extremely well respected. He did very well at UMBC to bolster their defense. Between him and Crawley, I'd rather Crawley leave and it's not particularly close.flalax22 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 6:14 pmHonest question.
