[SulliMustGo II]

And by the way Rammeralum is not me, it's one of my best friends who happens to be one of the many who think Sullivan should go.

You are quite funny.  First, you create multiple names to come on here and say the same dumb things you've been saying since September.  You keep saying horrible things about this guy, and if he's such a bad coach, how did he help lead Worcester State to an ECAC win as the Defensive Coordinator?  The guy has won before, so it's not like he's just some loser off the streets.  Sure, tough times, 3 wins in 4 years.  But you know what, they got two this year, that's something for him to build on.  You come on here downgrading this guy and this team, but you aren't doing anything positive.  All of you former players band together and get the man fired.  And don't say it can't be done, because that's what happened at Bridgewater with Mazzefero, anybody that says otherwise doesn't know his facts. 

and what happened to the other like 14 screen names?

According to the Salve Regina University website, Art Bell left the job as football coach when the university decided to make the head coaching job a full time position.  Art works full time and could not afford to leave the full time job he has had for the last 17 years.  The announcement did not mention anything about the rest of the football coaching staff.

YOU CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT SALVE REGINA WOULD GIVE THE NEW HEAD COACH THE RIGHT TO PICK AND CHOOSE HIS STAFF

Hey here is a question about UMASS-Dartmouth

Umm I am from PA and here we have schools such as Penn St.-Beaver; Penn St.-Altoona.  Is that pretty much the same thing just Mass's version?

[Jonny Utah]

yea, basically the same thing there downbythebeach.

Yeah, UMASS-Darmouth is an extention of UMASS located in Darmouth, MA

let me actually rephrase that i did write what i ment

Is it kind of like Umass in Amherst is main campus and Dartmouth is a branch of that
Or
Are Umass Amherst and Umass Dartmouth equal parts just one is in the east, one in the west.

No, Umass Amherst is a university, and is the size of most major state universities across the country. ( smaller than like Texas or Michigan, but comparable to like Uconn  or Rutgers)  Umass Dartmouth is a subcampus of that.  Much smaller.  Theres Umass Lowell, Boston and Dartmouth all much smaller.  Kind of like Penn St. Altoona like you said above.

Couple of things...About time Salve Regina went to a Full time coach...They have had a recruiting coordinator for two years now but he is also the lacrosse coach... Every team in the NEFC now has a full time coach except for UMass Dartmouth... They are all local teachers.... Also, UMass Dartmouth is part of the five-campus University of Massachusetts system. Like Johnny Utah said UMass Amherst is alot bigger..UMass D has about 8,000 students with 4,000 living on campus..They just built 5 or 6 new dorms and looking to build more in the next few years.... It is pretty amazing what some of these teams have done in the past years with the lack of support they get...

As a graduate of Salve Regina University as well as a former player I am overwhelmingly enthusiastic about Salve's decision to get a full time coach. The move in my estimation is a couple of years too late. This past season the freshmen class at Salve was 7 players, so much for the recruiting coordinator. The coordinator does'nt even coach football, along with this disconnection comes a question about judging talent. Salve's facilities do not compare with Curry's and Endicott's, but the area in which Salve is located beats both those schools like a drum. Newport is one of the nicest area to live, let alone go to college in the entire country. Salve also offers a better academic standing than most NEFC schools, which makes it more difficult to recieve the talent that other schools in the conference are able to obtain. The obstacles are there but there is also oppurtunity, the team has been succesful in the past and it could be again if given to the right coach.

fbalking19, having a better academic standing should help a school like Salve get better football players.

I agree it's good news for Salve Regina to recognize it's time for a full time coach, but I'm responding to the shortage of freshman players.  Although the roster number was 10, not 7, I can only guess that the football team is well served by transfers from local junior colleges.  MIT, on the other hand, had 17 frosh listed on their roster of 44 (Salve's roster was 52), and the one box score that I used to compare starters to roster, MIT had 10 frosh among their 22 offensive and defensive starters.  There are obvious academic hurdles experienced only by the MIT players, but maybe the recruiting coordinator at Salve is already doing a decent job by attracting the juco players, and hopefully the experience gained by MIT's youngsters will serve them well on the field in years to come.
Having a strong academic standing is a good thing, but I also like the idea that MIT might have a very experienced team in a couple of years.

I've read through some of these posts through this past year.  I played in the NEFC for four years and yes I know all about Framinghams struggles... I want to say one thing and one thing only, even if it gets me kicked off this message board.  SullymustGo - Put the issue to rest kid.  Yes we get you're point, we understand you are bitter and have nothing else to talk about. Get over it.  You played for a below average, not to mention terrible team in college that has its issues.  Let the people involved with the organization now deal with it.  Thats all I really have to say. I am just sick and tired of seeing your endless posts about Framingham football... Get a life kid.

Pat Coleman where you at?  Is the All-American team on this site different from the AFCA All-American Team?  Brenden Kavey was AFCA All-American but I noticed that he wasnt on the D3Football All-American list.  If they are different, how does a kid get all american on one list, and cant get even get honorable mention on d3football.com?
