Morel has been a strong presence on campus. He has been involved in several activities outside the athletics department. He is stepping away from coaching and moving over to a position in fundraising.
This year's record so far, with a bowl game looming (the seniors will have a choice whether they want to play; I don' know if it will be individual choices or a vote), there may be one more opportunity.
The season's 8-2 is a good way for Don to go out, the losses being to Platteville and DePauw, both in the D3FB top 25. Both playoff teams. So, they could be 9-2 if things fall in their favor.
If some or all the seniors decide not to play, we will get an early picture of the 2025 team. I can see the seniors being split among themselves about playing an extra game. But competing in an 11th game could be a positive for recruiting.
