Craig Candeto is the new HC in Bexley.  Credit to Cap, they went outside the box on this hire.  I like it.  Although I'm not sure JK will like seeing a Midshipman in charge!

They tried but they couldn't find any living former Army players who remember how to beat Navy.   ;D

I will be very interested to see what offense Capital runs in week 1 next year.  Their opponent in Bexley is the Thomas More Saints.

That was my first thought as well, SF.  Wonder if we'll see the option?  I'm not sure what they run at the Citadel.

Been years since I posted, but the new hire at my alma mater brought me back out of the woodwork.

At The Citadel they run the triple option.  Not sure of the exact coaching lineage, but I think the offensive coordinator was with Paul Johnson at Georgia Southern, Navy and Georgia Tech.

So it would stand to reason that Paul Johnson's QB at Navy, and a guy who coached with Johnson at Georgia Tech, and then at The Citadel, which runs the same offense it would stand to reason that Candeto is bringing the triple option to the OAC.

Does Capital have the QBs and OL to run it?  Last Capital game I saw was a playoff game, so I don't know.

With so many teams moving to some variation of the spread I think it'd be cool if Cap ran the triple option.  And I'd have to think that it would be no picnic for their opponents to prepare for since you see it less and less these days.

Additionally, I read on the CCIW board some time ago something to the effect of Augustana leveraged that offense in recruiting by targeting guys who ran it in HS because there were so few teams running the option in college so they almost had a built in recruiting pool.  Well, if there was any truth to that there are even less teams running it now I'm sure (but also less at the HS level too).  With Wakefield going back to Perry maybe he'll bring back the wing-t and Candeto can befriend him.  Haha.

eh -- you see the triple option still.. just in a different form.  Mount ran a version of it.. so does RGIII.  Its still assignment football.  Thats my opinoin. 

How long has it been since the OAC has had a team running the old-fashioned triple option??

Teams are starting to call it the Spread Option.  When I see the spread option, I see the veer with the tight end split out to spread out the D some.  But that is my ignorant opinion.  I am waiting for someone to bring back the Monster Stack defense while running the option.   :D

I think 2013 is Heidelberg's year to win the OAC!

That brings up a question. I wonder what Mom's odds (and any other opinions too) would be for H-Berg winning the conference. With Mt losing so many seniors and HBerg so young, is 2013 a greater question mark than previous years?  Hard to even imagine.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all on this board and congrats again to Mt for a great season and championship.

Ah yes, the thought that since Mount had so many seniors another team will win the OAC...it's so important to remember that Mount does not rebuild but reloads. Mount will win the OAC next year.

Though I'm retired from this sort of thing, I'd say HBerg's odds are no better than 20:1

Yes, Mount graduates a great senior class, but they'll be adding the best RB in the conference.   The same one that made AA Cartel Brooks the back-up.   
I find easily offended people rather offensive!

Would have posted this sooner, but was out of town all week. Was listening to Monday Night Football on the radio and heard that Mike Preston from Heidelberg was playing for the Titans. That makes 4 OAC guys that I know of playing in the league with Trusnik from ONU and Shorts and Garcon from UMU. I assume this is the most ever. Would have been nicer if Kevin Harlan and Dan Fouts on the radio had had a clue about where Heidelberg was. They said it was in PA, and even joked that if you were listening on campus you would be listening on KDKA in Pittsburgh.

Wondered about other D3 grads playing in the League. Would be nice if someone kept a list with football like Ricky Nelson does on the baseball thread. He tracks D3 baseball players all through the minors and even the Independent Leagues. Someone with more time on his hands than I do.

Motorman -- we have that on D3football.com, in our FAQ section:

Thanks Pat, this was my first season to foray into the football boards. Been much more active on baseball, my primary interest.

Glad you have reason to follow football!

I'd like to add my thanks to Pat and the gang for all of your work on this site.  You give many of us way too many hours of distraction, as well as providing a fantastic venue for all things D-III.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

That would'nt hurt so much if it was'nt true. Maybe LK could head on up to West Point? I mean should he ever feel the need to "give D1 a try" why not do it with Army? The players would be there for 4 years, put team first, understand importance of academics, and we could trounce Navy!! I bet LK would have Army in a bowl game by 2nd year, in National Rankings by year 3, and in a BCS bowl within 5 years. Anyone think differently?

Happy Christmas Y'all! Thank you to the Raiders and LK for an early present and here's to another one just like it next year!
