As far as assitants go, DePauw still has Walker, who coached rbs last year and has coached wrs in the past, Long, who is o-line, and Hreha, who is d-line.  From what I know they have finished interviewing to fill two defensive positions, including coordinator, and are just trying to get through all the red tape with the university before they hire someone.  I have not heard anything of who interviewed.
As far as the upcoming season goes, the Tigers will be young in the beginning at several key positions.  For a more thorough discussion check earlier pages on this board.  There is enough senior leadership that will help them challenge for the championship again this year. 
From what I have heard the coaching staff was very happy with the way recruiting went.

Thanks for posting that, Ron.  The story behind the women's tennis championship is interesting.  Without going into any detail, the story I got was that Trinity had to leave to catch their flight because their coach said their AD would not allow any team to fly out on Monday due to finals.  When they knew they were going to have to stop the match, Trinity asked to be named co-champions. (At least that is the story I got from someone who I know was there.)  As far as I know the conference has not made an official decision on it, even though Trinity's website has them as co-champions.  If it were up to me, I would consider Trinity leaving as a forfeit of the match and declare DePauw the champions.

Sorry for posting this on the FB pages, but there really isn't anywhere great to put it.

Those guys started playing their sophomore year while Coach Nick was still there because they were good.  They were competing with and beating out seniors and juniors for the starting jobs.  (Hertel started over some pretty good guys as a freshman, but he is by far the exception)  When Coach Lynch came in those guys were already developed somewhat, and had the experience and talent it took to play.  With Coach Rogers the same guys were now seasoned veterans who knew what they were doing.  Without the talent in the senior class this year, DePauw would not have been as good as they were.

Pappas was listed at 6'2"-250 this year.  He doesn't have the height that some coaches would like (the 6'2" is about 2-3 inches taller than what he really is), but he is more athletic than just about any offensive linemen that I have seen.  And you are correct that his technique is really good.  He went to Trinity H.S. in Louisville, KY, which from my understand produces D-I talent on a regular basis.  I think that if Pappas was a lot closer to the 6'5"+ that D-I schools look for he has the technique and athleticism that he could play at that level. 

Hertel is returning on the d-line at end and Pappas on the o-line at one of the gaurd positions.  I think that it should also be noted that one of the o-linemen graduating this year was a 5-th year who battled with a junior for the starting job as the beginning of the season last fall. 
I think there is a lot of potential and talen in the guys who will be fighting for starting spots.  There just isn't a lot of experience.
No offense intended MacLeod, but I don't think that the coaching turnover has much to do with graduating so many.  This senior class had A LOT of talent in it at almost every position, and most of the guys started for 2-3 years at their position, and the guys behind them have some experience but not as much as most coaches would like.

Graduating a QB can be rough on any team.  I think that DPU has some quality guys coming back in Abe Winkle, who was no. 2 last year, and Robbie MacLaughlin, who is a freshman currently and only saw action in JV games.  Also, Spud sounds like he is a pretty good player and leader.  What might be of more concern for DPU is graduating 4 of 5 starting o-linemen and 4 d-linemen (3 starters and 1 backup).  All of the second units saw limited playing time last year, and several guys who will probably be stepping into varsity positions are freshmen right now.  There are some upper classmen ready to step in, as well, but they have only seen limited playing time over the last couple of years.  It will be interesting to see who steps up as leaders (both by their performances and throught their words) for the Tigers.

DePauw's schedule was already finalized and only has one open spot for Austin to come in, and that's the vacancy that Rose made by leaving.  DePauw is starting a home and away series with Anderson for the next several years, which is filling that week 1 opening where they played Welsey this past year.  I am sure there are lot of people on both sides that would have like to keep the Rose-DePauw "mini" rivalry going.  I am sure that one day it will get started again.
Also, Chicago Freakshow, I don't think you know anything about the DePauw-Trinity situation from this year.  The decision was made by administrators late in the day on Thursday to not make the trip.  If you ask any of the coaches or players I am sure they would have preferred to go, even with hurricane Rita on her way.  Also, attempts were made to reschedule the game, but nothing was able to be worked out.  So, don't say that Depauw did not have the balls to play Trinity because I am sure they would have played in the middle of the hurricane if they could have.

From what I saw Karras was not as big of a jerk on the sideline of the DPU game this year as he has been the last couple of years.  Maybe DPU going up 21-7 with 12:00 left in the first made him decide that he was going to have to actually coach instead of just taunt DePauw's players and staff.  DePauw and Rose are not playing anymore because Rose is leaving to go to the HCAC and Austin is coming to the SCAC in their place.

tigerdad-
I know and fully understand that Lynch did not make any staff changes, even though there were changes (e.g.  McMartin going to Central).  I also know that Lynch also completely changed the offense and significantly overhauled the defense.  I also never said that Kaz and Hill left on their own.   I know that they both have aspirations of being coordinators and/or head coaches somewhere.  Frankly, I was not sad to see Kaz leave.  I never thought he was a very good coach.  Something you may or may not have known is that Kaz actually interviewed for several positions elsewhere last year, but did not get them.  Also, I never said that changes would be done the right way.  I can't say that Coach Rogers has always done things the right way.  I was only talking about Coach Hreha's situation and not any of the other assistants.  I only was commenting on how I think it would be a shame to force out such a great man and coach.

tigerdad -
I know that Coach Rogers wants to bring in his people, which is at the least understandable.  I think had he stayed Coach Lynch would have done the same thing.  Note the hiring of Coach Nystrom, the def. coord. this year.  I also know that Coach Hreha is only wanting to coach for one or two more years because of his detioratiing physical capabilities.  I would be very upset if Coach Rogers and the administration forces him out before he is ready to go.  He is, to me, the definition of DePauw football.  To force a guy like Coach Hreha out would be a huge mistake because of his knowledge of the univeristy and the great history of the program.  To loose his knowledge of football and all of his knowledge would be enormous.  Mentally, Coach Hreha is as sharp as a razor blade, but his limited physical capabilities are the only thing pushing him toward retirement at this point.  I would be very sad to see him go, as would all of the DePauw football alum from the last 30 years.  I hope that he gets to retire on his terms and not because someone else wants him to.

tigerdad - Coach Hreha (DL) has been at DePauw almost 30 coaching, and played at DePauw.  I think it would be hard to ask him to retire.  I think that he has earned the right to leave when he wants to.  Coach Walker, who moved over to RB this year is also the head baseball coach.  I have not heard anything about him not coaching football anymore and just coaching baseball.

As of right now the only assistant that has left DePauw is Coach Kaz.  He went to Butler to be the defensive coordinator.  Other than that, no one has officially left.

I can't give a score, but I think it will be a close game.  I think that Whitewater will win it.  After beating Linfield at Linfield and destroying Wesley I don't think it matters how good Mount Union's defense is now.  I don't think it will be a blow out, or even a high scoring game, but I think Whitewater comes out on top.  However, aftering beating Wesley that bad they might be a little overconfident which can bite them in the butt.  Its up to the coaches and seniors to keep the team focused this week.  If they can do that, then I think they will win.  Whoever wins I think it will be a really close game and it might come down to who has the ball last.

etg,

It should be 07-08 that they will be a full member.  Sorry about messing up the year like that.  Its December and I am still trying to get used to writing 2005 on things.

As far as I know football and basketball will not join until 2006-2007.  Next year will be only sports where they have large multi-team meets like cross country, swimming, and track.  I'm not sure what sports will for sure be joining next year, but I am pretty sure they will be a full member in 2006-2007.

From what I have heard Colorado College will be joining the SCAC in some sports next year, and will join in all sports the following year.
