Interesting article today regarding GA Mangus and the Temple job. I really think he is going to be in the mix for it.

Waiting on a coaching hire from Misericordia. Have to think the Ursinus assistant that got hired at Guilford was high on their list.

Gosh, quiet time of the year

A few items of interest...

First, while their program may no longer be a part of the MAC, I was saddened to learn of the passing of longtime Crusaders assistant Bob Pittello. While I never met him in person, I saw Coach Pittello talking in good spirits many times with members of the Wilkes staff during our games against SU from 2004-2006. I would read his bio several times in the SU media guides and game programs, and he always impressed me as someone who showed great pride and dedication in his alma mater.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the SU football community on his passing.

Second, a notice on the Misericordia athletics website is announcing a press conference at the school, set for 2 P.M. this Monday, January 17:

My guess is it can only be about announcing a new football coach. With that in mind, I plan to be there, with live video coverage available on our website at www.timesleader.com.

See ya there!

Any speculation that it might be Rich Manello? He certainly has experience with a start up Catholic program...

I'd love to know what that job is paying....

Yes, it is about introducing a football coach -- our Twitter followers found that out a couple days ago.

Let me know when you have the full link for the video -- we'll send that around as well.

Hiring story is up.

Wow, first, Misericordia, now Channel 69, Berk's addition, just announced that Alvernia was looking into the possibility of adding football to their sport's agenda.

On our level, adding football is THE way to increase male enrollment at minimal cost, especially if there is an existing field to play at...

Times Leader video of the opening remarks for the Misericordia press conference, shot by yours truly: http://bit.ly/emRInr

Also, our story on the press conference, including some good stats on Coach Ross' defense at Ithaca; http://bit.ly/egfDLw

Nice day in the Back Mountain for all involved on Monday. Coach Ross hit it on the head himself...where else in the MAC can you start a program from scratch and have two rivals right in your backyard?

I assume that the news will be quite for a bit, but this is a great story for the MAC overall, and will be interesting to watch as it develops. Stay tuned....

Hey all. New D3 fan here.

Pat Coleman · April 26, 2011, 10:35:12 AM

Is this our first Stevenson football fan? Welcome to the board!

dunleigh · April 27, 2011, 02:45:19 PM

Finally! There is some life on this board.

My son chose Albright so I'm on the hunt for any news about Albright. He was really close to choosing 1 or 2 other MAC schools, but liked something about Albright.

One of their coaches is leaving for the UFL. Apparently Jerry Glanville just got a job with them and they used to work together. http://www.prokickernews.com/kicking-punting-snapping-indoor-football-leagues-news/itemlist/tag/Jesse%20Thompson.html

I wonder how Stevenson will do? He liked them too because the team is so new. He figured he'd have a chance as a 4 yr starter. He liked the male-female ratio too!

Pat Coleman · April 27, 2011, 03:03:24 PM

And welcome to the board to you as well!

My cousin is headed off to play WR at Lyco next year. Bummed he didn't choose Susquehanna, of course, but it's not so bad since apparently Lyco has dropped off our schedule for the foreseeable future. Plus, he was considering a conference opponent as well, so at least I won't have to root against him.
