Haven't seen an announcement of any kind but looks like UMHB is also losing o-line coach Bill Bleil based on his Twitter bio saying he is now with SFA. Both his sons work at SFA so Coach Bleil may have seen this as a great time to get to work with his sons with all the other changes happening here at UMHB. Safe to say the offense is going to look different next year for the Cru despite the large number of players that are supposed to be back.

Good luck to him! Pretty sure I saw something mentioned on Twitter a while back with him and coach Lee, but it seems to have been deleted. That's a lot of turnover. I wonder if any of our former players/graduate assistants will get to step up? Oh well, time to go read through Twitter again to see what is up.

Interesting and exciting times at UMHB.

With UMHB king of the hill in D3 football, will they go through similar "struggles" as the two previous kings of the hill after head coaching changes. I define struggles in this case as a noticeable drop off in national championships.

As mentioned on PGGO podcast the other day, Coach Harmon can be a little cutthroat lol. Didn't he put up 91 on Albright while coach Fred was out?

Column: Pete Fredenburg's impact on UMHB football extends well beyond the field

I appreciate Baylor Mullins, Ike Shaw, Darrin Beheler, Jordan Mullinix, and Gary Ruckman (all Cru football alums) for helping me out in writing this article...Pete Fredenburg truly changed lives through the program at UMHB

Football Scoop reporting that Coach Bleil has been announced as the new offensive line coach at SFA.
Changes are coming to UMHB.

Congrats to coach Johnson for being promoted to DC and coach Carey for being promoted to Special teams coordinator!

Incredibly devastated to learn of the loss of UMHB safety Jackson Sennie. There are no words. He was such a team-first guy that embodied the mentality of UMHB football so well. Prayers go out to his family and to the UMHB community. He will be sorely missed.

"When you think of 'teammate', you think of Jackson Sennie. That's just who he was."

Gonna be tough for the Cru to repeat if we don't even have an Offensive coordinator or line coach before spring practices. Installing a new offense with new blocking schemes and all. I also saw where Brandon Jordan was taking officials to Louisville among others. Pretty sure he will get a shot at a D1 school even though I believe he would still get a shot if he stayed.

If it is from Twitter, the only Louisville tweet I've seen was from 18.

Not sure. Just saw someone tweeted it a few days ago. Could be old and I hope it is. Someone told me they hzve settled on a coordinator but just haven't announced it yet. So I was told at the celebration tonight.

It's a "pinned" tweet from 2018.

Lyon College in Arkansas is planning to transition from NAIA to D3 and has football (see https://d3sports.com/notables/2022/02/lyon-college-applying-to-d3). That means they are likely looking at the ASC for an affiliation - their profile doesn't really fit the SAA and the SCAC doesn't play football (unless things change dramatically).
