Redmen96;

Whi is the new DC at Carthage or can't they release the info yet? Do you know if he will keep the blitzing scheme or look to replace with another scheme? Keep us updated. Thanks

I have not heard the name just that he has been selected.  There is only 1 week of school left so I imagine there will be a lot of communication in the next couple weeks plus some meetings over the summer.  Not sure on the scheme but I sure hope we can cover the deep ball better than last year, seems we got burned quite a bit.

Redmen96 says he knows him and says he is excited for the Redmen.  We will see.

Before CardinalAlum chimes in... No!  I am not the new DC at Carthage.

Actually, you were my second guess after Go Thunder!!   

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are    +k

You have got to admit that the cinderella story of IWU winning the CCIW football championship is heartwarming, but the IWU certainly was not the best team in the conference.  You have got to admire their grit and over-performance.  They got lucky on a couple of their wins and they played Wheaton when the Thunder had more players injured than on the field. 

Sometimes you play a schedule when you play the right team at the right time and you add in a little luck....and presto!  It is like magic, you win when you have no legitimate reason to believe you can win a title.  That is why we play the games.

That's not a very informed post in my opinion. Which wins were lucky for IWU? I think they actually fought through some very bad luck to win the games they won. IWU had the best defense (or one of the 2 best) in the CCIW last year and they had an opportunistic offense with some good playmakers. They had special teams issues early that they solved but all in all They deserved to win the games they won and to lose the games they lost. Thats not over performance that's just performance. I don't follow your logic about any luck in their season. Maybe they were lucky to play Wheaton at the end of the season when the Thunder had the most injuries but they were just as unlucky to play NCC at the end when the Cardinals were playing their best.

Thanks, usee.  I had the same reaction, but it obviously sounds better coming from a non-Titan!

If only those special teams problems had been solved earlier, one (perhaps even both) of their non-con losses would have likely been wins, and a pool C bid would have been very possible.  I admit they certainly caught me (and nearly everyone else) by surprise in tying for the title, but (in retrospect) I believe it was indeed performance, not 'over'performance.

Hey all,
It's been quite a while (Fall).

Any news on North Central's recruiting class? I've checked back a few pages, I don't know if my eyes can take more staring at a computer screen...8 hrs a day at work is a strain.

I hope all is well with everyone affiliated with this board (as well as their families). I'm going to make a concerted effort to get back into the D3sports.com forum world...I know you all have missed me dearly.

Boy did I miss you Goulet....  Here is the link for NC's recruits for 2008-2009  Hope you are doing well

Carthage Names John Sedeska Football Defensive Coordinator

Carthage College director of athletics Robert Bonn has announced that former Red Men middle linebacker John Sedeska has been named football defensive coordinator.  Sedeska replaces Greg Etter, who was named head football coach at Concordia University (Wis.) on April 10.  Sedeska, who served as a part-time Carthage assistant for the 1999 and 2000 seasons, has been the head coach at J.I. Case High School in Racine, Wis., since 2001.

A native of Racine, Sedeska completed his Carthage playing career in 1998 as the Red Men's second-leading all-time tackle with 373 over four years.  He was named All-CCIW on three occasions, first team in both 1997 and 1998 and second team in 1995.  Sedeska graduated in 1998 with a bachelor's in exercise and sport science.  He received his master's in education from National-Louis University in 2006.

"I have known John for the past 13 years," said Bonn, "and I have watched him grow, both as a person and professionally, and in several different teaching or coaching environments.  He is ready for this position and ready to lead the defense.  Also, it never hurts to have someone on your staff who would cut off his arm, rather than have the Red Men fail."  "We feel fortunate to have John with us," said Carthage head coach Tim Rucks.  "He has a passion for the game, which will filter through to the players.  He has all the qualities of leadership and knowledge of the game which we were looking for in a defensive coordinator.  I am tremendously excited about the appointment."  "I extremely excited by this opportunity," said Sedeska.  "Coming back to my alma mater and working with Coach Rucks and many other familiar faces is just a tremendous opportunity, and I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Hoping for good things.  Fellow Red Men fans fill us in....

As I said before, I am very excited for the REDMEN.  I know Sedeska very well and he is perfect for the DC job.  He will go after it.

I knew about this hire for a couple of days, but promised I would not say anything until it was released.  I am very very excited about this hire.  Two people came to Carthage in 1995 that changed everything.  One was Rucks, the other was Sedeska.  He was our leader and captain for 4 years.  To quote a good friend of mine, that the best thing that ever happened to carthage was Rucks, because Rucks brought in Sedeska for those first critical years. I had the privilege of playing and coaching with Johnny for a while and there is no one else better suited for this job!

He will do a great job for the Redmen!

Sedeska is such a good REDMAN, on the rare occasion that he bleeds his blood is even RED.
