FB: Conference of New England

[Outsider14]

all are part time; from what i've been told, the only person that works full time (paid part time) is the LB coach. comparatively, my alma-mater (ranked in the top 20 every year, usually top 10) has 5 full-time coaches, and 3 part-time coaches that work full time; their other job is resident directors in the various dorms on campus.

Works full time and paid part time, what kind of idiot does that?

Outsider, where was your career in D3?

65% of coaches in division 3, especially young ones...

my career was at bridgewater college in va for 2 years after spending 3 on the scout team at william & mary

Im pretty sure he gets paid full time and paid part time.  Firefighters only work like 8 times a month anyway and can swap sometimes whenever they want

Hey sully, i'm new to this page, but i must agree that fram state is a messed up place right now.   i know you concetrate on football, but all the sports programs are in disarray.   the pres and vp's could care less about sports.  Football is the marque sport that should bring athletes into the school.  if you look at the program, there's not to many athletes on the field.  the AD has done nothing, the asst. AD is a detriment to all the programs. it's a joke.

Pat C., can we get an IP adress check on this page?

Hey. look div iii is div iii, no scholarships etc.   but when you stand on the side lines and one state school is hammering another state school, as an admin., doesn't a bell go off in youre head!   why can one crush the other, after all their all state colleges.  it all comes down to leadership in the athletic dept., strong leader - strong programs.  i heard at fram state that they have turned over almost 40 thats right 4 - 0 head coaches in seven years.  WHO or what is driving these coaches out!.   think about it!

Correct me if I am wrong Warrior, but did you state that Framingham Sate has turned over 40 coaches in 7 years?? I think that is an exaggeration. However, they have definitely burned through them...a couple were very good coaches that moved on after 1 year (obviously they saw the big picture quickly.) 2 of them could've easily taken the HC position and probably improved the program drastically...unfortunately they had no interest in ruining their careers!

jonny utah, I think your question was overlooked on the NWC board regarding how this year's Linfield team compares to last year's.

In a nutshell, Linfield is probably about the same as last season. Almost everyone is back so that is a big reason why. Some of the offensive players have said they don't think they have hit quite the same stride as they had by this time last season. The defense is noticably better. So I think the net result is about equal to last year. Obviously, the 'Cat fans are hoping for the same end result this season.  There will be major losses (and not just Elliott) to graduation after this year. Hope that helps.

br7o, i heard that in all sports, almost 40 head coaches in seven years,   very reliable source

Warrior you're right that the Pres down to the asst. AD don't do sh*t for the sports programs, however not al teams are messed up. Men's basketball got to the finals last year, women's soccer always wins theur conference, and baseball is always decent. Football however is terrible and I really beleive if they ever got a coach that knew what he was doing then they could be successful.

Interesting; back-to-back 9-19 baseball seasons are decent? That's an insult to everybody's intelligence on this board for even giving them that rosy, but false, analysis. They've had one winning season in the last decade... brilliant!

So let's see what the problem is at Framingham... look at who some of the other schools in this conference can bring in; the Nichols and WNEC's of the world have a sport management to attract students. Fitch. St. and Worcester can attract Criminal Justice majors, and the Bridgewater's and Westfield's of the world have Phys. Ed. programs. Bottom line: it doesn't take a study to realize that those kind of programs will always bring in a tougher (physically) student-athlete - period.

Begs some questions of you, Sully-hater: have you played FB or any sport(s) at Framingham before? Have you even been to their campus? Maybe you were a part of the nine-win baseball dynasty? It's very, very difficult to give you benefit of the doubt here when your so-called facts are baseless, at best. You couldn't do a better job than the AD/Asst. AD, or any coach who sets foot on this campus - not if you recruit/scout the way you research/tell us on this board the WRONG things about what the situation at Framingham really is.

[SullyMustGo]

I played there and started at framingham for four years. And yes I lived there all four years. The baseball team made the playoffs within the past 3 years, the are always competitive.

[SullyMustGo]

I said the baseball team was decent, I didnt say there record because I didn;t knwo it. I said they were decent and they are. Last year they were below average but before that they were ok. But who cares this is a football website. Read my past quotes they all hold merit and are all true. All I was trying to prove is that not all the sports at Framingham are bad. Like I said look at the B-Ball team, Women's soccer, and the baseball coach has been there awhile, probly the longest coach tenure there and he is full-time.

Fellas, i think we're missing the point, it doesn't matter full-time or part -time.  If you can't get players through the door (fram ST) you can win period.   Why are those players rejected at Fram, but get into Worc, fitch etc.   get the drift.  Also mr golden foot,  record don't always reflect a quality team.  u can play abunch of nobodies an go 100 -0, useless.  quality schedule 50 - 50 , don't judge by record alone
