Just so we are on the same page, E-town is filled, the other three are open.

Would think Catholic would be the most attractive given location.

Colin Klingman, an assistant coach at SUNY Bighmanton and before that a grad assistant at Catholic University and an Ursinus assistant coach/recruiting coordinator, has been named head coach at Ursinus College for Men's Soccer.

Klingman was a 2020 graduate of Ursinus, where he was a four year starter and three year captain

Quote"Team Ursinus is excited to welcome one of our own back to head our men's soccer program," Stroble said. "Coach Colin Klingman demonstrates the best of what Ursinus athletics is all about – he is passionate about supporting our student athletes, willing to work hard, and hungry to win."

Given the school's difficulty keeping coaches for any length of time in recent years, it's not surprising that they went with an alum who should be well aware of the pros and cons of coaching at a D3 program in this part of the country from his own experiences and from watching his Dad and brother.

Quote"I am beyond excited and extremely grateful to become the next head men's soccer coach at Ursinus," Klingman said. "I want to thank Director of Athletics Erin Stroble, and the entire search committee for putting their trust in me and giving me an opportunity to be the next leader of the program. I look forward to teaching, mentoring and positively impacting our student-athletes in all facets of their life."
 
 
In addition to his work at the collegiate level, Klingman has served as both a head and assistant coach for various youth soccer programs in both the Collegeville and Washington D.C. area. Klingman spent a year as the Head coach of the U-14 team and assistant coach of the U-15 team for West Mont United before serving as the Head Coach for CCL U23 Pro team, and U18 Red boys head coach for DC Soccer Club for two years.
 
 
Klingman is a native of Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania and attended Abington Heights High School. Klingman is the son of former longtime Scranton men's soccer coach and current assistant athletic facilities director Stephen Klingman, and former Scranton standout Deanna Klingman who was named the 1985 NCAA Division III Player of the Year. His brother, Derek, was a member of the Scranton men's soccer team, and his sister was a member of the Scranton women's soccer team. His older brother, Justin Klingman, is the current Men's Basketball Head Coach at Goucher College and was an assistant coach under Ursinus Men's Basketball Head Coach Kevin Small for four seasons.

Congrats to him, had him on a list for Scranton given his parents were Scranton legends and he was just up the road in Binghamton.

I'm sure he was pretty much done with the Ursinus hiring process when Scranton opened. Too little too late. 

Keep an eye out for Andy Loughnane perhaps? Already knows the program and is still in the area at Misericordia.

Perhaps, but the cost of living in around DC is tough if the coach can't supplement his income. On top of that it is tough to get to CU most of the day. Not sure what they are offering a coach at CU.

Alex Hosler was named head men's soccer coach of Crown College in the UMAC

Crown has dual affiliation with NCAA DIII and the NCCAA

QuoteAlex Hosler was previously the Assistant Men's Soccer Coach last season when the Polars earned the most wins in a single season with 10 since joining the NCAA in 2008. He is in the process of obtaining his USSF C License. Currently Coach Hosler is also the Youth Head Coach and Goalkeeping Director with the Orono Westonka Soccer Club in Mound, Minnesota where he is responsible for running training sessions and developing goalkeeping curriculum.

QuoteHosler spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons at the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana as an assistant coach. In his time there he was a part of the best start in program history in 2022 when the team went 7-1-1 in the first 9 contests.

The first track they chose couldn't have been more apt.

Any rumors or scuttlebut?

Nope!

Quote from: Another Mom on May 13, 2024, 07:36:33 PMNope!

Though not news, Jon Freeman, asst. coach whose wife is the head track coach, is now officially the acting coach.  I believe he has been asst. since 2016 or so and has been an head coach at other programs.

And, the players love him.

King's College in PA is looking for a new HC because their existing one just took the job at Catholic. Interestingly, he's a graduate of Lycoming (undergrad) and Catholic (grad).
