Franklin, DIII football is about having the opportunity to play college football and building friendships and memories.  Changing schools because of a coach that you've never practiced with, leaving your team mates and   going to a new school and starting all over with a new program and new team mates seems a little drastic and to be quit honest immature.

Give the guy and your team a chance.  There are a core of quality athletes on your team that will rise to the challange.

P.S. Spring practice doesn't mean much it's all about being prepared for camp and you still have time to get some practices in.

The guy sounds like a great choice.  Last year FSC offense was going to have to improve to suck, so it seams they picked a guy who can change that.  Not knowing the players can be a benefit, it will force some dicipline and motivation in the ranks.  As far as not knowing the league and recruits, he is coming from DII, a couple of good tape sessions and talking with some of the remainng coaches will fix all that.

Time to cowboy up FSC, good luck.

I've herd that she is in the process of interviewing a few coaches, most from out of state

Still no coach at Fitchburg.  Anyone heard anything???

I don't agree with the academic standards, Curry has the weakest, but I do agree with the full time staffing.  It's dam near imposible to maintain a program with recruiting and all the other time consuming issues, with out some full time staff.  I also think that most of the NEFC schools, administrators I mean, realy don't care if they have strong programs.  Most of the schools have mediocre media guides if they have them at all.  As with Curry, and it appears Endicot, the school has to take an interest in being competetive.   

Your correct about title 9.  You are not adding an extra team, you are just using players already on the roster.  Again my main point is that if the NEFC wants to increase it's level of play and be competetive in the NCAA tourny they will have to develop their younger players.  The JV program is a way to do this.  It can be kept cheap and also be effective.

I think that every team in the NEFC could field some type of a JV team, but even if it started off with just 5 or 6 teams it would help the development of the league over all.  It already looks like a few teams are making an effort.  Just like with anything it will be a slow start but then will develop.

I think that the NEFC needs to have a JV program to help develop their younger players and be competitive.  All of the top DIII schools, including Springfield, have them.
