I thought they had a chance this year to build some momentum going forward winning 3 out of their last 4 games last year. Granted, none of them were against any good competition, it was still a good sign. But they are back to the bottom again with the like of Nichols.

I think something that has just gone completely under the radar with Curry is that it's entirely possible that they aren't performing at their highest level because of the extreme tightness of their jerseys.  Scientifically speaking, it's just too difficult to play good football when your jerseys don't fit over your regular shoulders, nevermind your shoulder pads.  It's an unfortunate reality.

Another mystery is why the football team is wearing the girls basketball uniforms for their team picture....

Special Agent Utah...You may have cracked the case...

Wow... With the exception of No. 6, they look like high School Freshmen...

Are they the kickers and punters?

Does the school have a weight room? That the players actually use?

Holy smokes, I just went to the website to look at this myself. Don't look at any of the pictures in the 60's and 70's.

Lets keep in mind that Skip was working part time as the HFC until June of 2014....recruiting as a part time guy (against full time staffs) leads to the results we can see in those roster pictures.

They had a lot of success back in the day, but most of their peer schools were also working with part time staffs back then.

Give him a few years of full time recruiting and lets see how things go.

So when they hired him full time, how much material per shirt was cut in order to afford the extra salary?  Obviously the sleeves were the first casualty, then they took it in nice and tight in the midsection areas.  I'd say they probably took about 43.678% per shirt, give or take 1.6%.  Full time or not, he's screwed until Curry can afford dressing these kids properly.

Are most/all of the NEFC coaches full-time now?  At least the HC's? I understand having mostly part-time assistants, but I was genuinely stunned when I learned (back in the mid-aughts, I think) that none of the NEFC schools even had a single FT coach, and thought that largely explained the NEFC struggle to play respectably against the rest of the East D3 schools for most of that time frame.

Who are these "full time staffs" you speak of in the NEFC/MASCAC? I was under the impression that most of these schools have one full time guy now that doubles as something else at their schools. How many schools actually have 2,3, or 4 full time guys?

I'm just curious to know because I don't think the MASCAC actually has full time "staffs" for the most part. I'm not sure about the private school based NEFC schools, I know most head coaches are usually full time there, but how many actually have more than 1 full time coach?

Kinda nuts to think that a school that was so good in football and seemed to care about there program would all of a sudden be the one of the last schools to hire a full time guy, especially with a tuition tag of over 33,000 a year.

Curry always had a full-time coach whose other title was usually something like "director of football operations" during Skip's part-time years.  I think that position essentially still exists, and I believe their current DC is full-time.

Most schools have a head coach that's full time and maybe one assistant that's full time, but part of that full time is being head of intramurals or game day operations at the school.

I think Nichols is the only one who still doesn't have any full time coaches, including the head coach.
