FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[theshade]

all the returning players are his recruits, i wonder how they feel about this? I also thought the job would go to Coach Clements but the press release states applications are being taken.  any chatter out there about who might take over?

[gordonmann]

Shade:

I suspect the kids will feel a lot better if Clements takes over and he keeps a lot of the staff in tact.  That will give them some familiarity.

[bossman05]

If the Dc takes over i'm very intereseted to see who is goin to run the offense....any ideas?

Is there anyone on staff that is possible to be in the running for the oc position?

[PBR...]

my understanding is the job is clements if he wants it. he was always told he would be the guy if/when mangus left. they are opening it up for applicants so other current assts can apply and as since we live in a sue happy society you have to have an open application time frame where anyone enter apply otherwise face a lawsuit. hopefully the staff will stay intact other than mangus moving on. they shouldnt miss a beat especially with that many returning starters.

[WUDLINE]

From what I have hear,  Jim Clements is it. The interview process is simply to make sure that they are covered legally. The questions  are who will he hire to run the offense. I also  hear some of the WU players are now worried  he will try to bring in a few coaches from WU. I hear he still has a few connections there.

[PBR...]

hmmmm....good info wudline didnt think about that connection.

Gordon Mann...Happy New Year...any word regarding the Aggie 2005 recap CD??

There are Mixed emotions among the players and parents regarding G.A.'s departure.  Obviously the key question will be the new QB coming and the "O" coordinator's position. As I see it...Jim Clements would be the obvious choice for the top slot and Duke Greco to take the "O" coordinator job. In my opinion that would be the way to go if they wanted to keep everything status quo and pick up the new season where they left off.  But then again  the one thing that is always certain is "Change"

billman by reading  this link mangus did dvc a HUGE favor before heading south in securing a big time qb to come to dvc. He was a div I-A qb until a knee injury earlier but mangus stayed after him and he looks like he is heading to dvc come fall with all those returning starters.... http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/242-01212006-601025.html

I remember that kid from bayonne, he was one very good hs quaterback.

[Billman56]

UPBRMEASAP....Good to see you are still on the board and posting...Is it August yet???

Yes , G.A. did leave DVC in good shape with all of the returning starters and recruiting a top QB...I also hear that there is another top Dawg who runs like a deer and may be competing for the QB position. 

I am also looking forward to a new field this year after the thaw.  Hope your holidays were good and all my best to you and your family....talk soon!

With all of the talk surrounding Delaware Valley, who looks to emerge as the replacements for All-Americans Knoblaugh and Ciecwiscz?  Will the spots be filled from transfers, recruits, or within the team?

[WUDLINE]

I have heard from a very good source that Jim Clements has official been offered the Deleware Valley job. From what I have been told everyone will be pleased with him. He is a stand up guy and will bring alot  of passion and character with him.

[PBR...]

i have heard the same wudline i am hoping its true!!! i think he will be great and the players are very comfortable with him as is the administration.  Plus with some highly touted recruits coming in they will feel that things are not going to change as well. as for the earlier post regarding plugging holes mangus and his staff have built alot of depth on this team the past couple of years. My guess would be the openings left by graduation will be filled by people already in the system assuming they are not beaten out by incoming freshmen. I havent heard of any transfers coming in although I am very excited about jaworski coming in, I remember many div I-A schools recruiting him he has a big league arm.

[WUDLINE]

I have heard from people associated with three different programs that all think the Jaworski kid is headed to their school ( DVC, WU, Albright). I would hold off on getting to excited him, it seems like he is sitting on the fence between certian schools. Also keep in mind that even with Clements taking over DVC will lose some recruits because of the coaching change. This is not a knock on Clements at all. It is just that there is a small amount of uncertianty without G.A. at the helm calling the offense. Hopefully it will not hurt them as much as it hurt WU when Zwann left.  Big Question: Who will be the new OC.

[PBR...]

i would imagine greco gets it they will want to keep as much continuity as possible. they will run the same offense and sets.
