Former Champion takes on big challenge.

[Mr.Right]

Carruth was a great player. Saint of Old did Durocher give up Head Coaching responsibilities?

[D3soccerwatcher]

Thompson coached at Gordon for a year or 2 as an head coach. Yes I forgot how because a player played at Messiah they will virtually be a given to win national championships. Please, enlighten us on how big the Messiah coaching tree is and how many national championships these guys have won or even how many times they have successfully taken teams into the NCAA D3 tournament

Mr Right,

I accept your challenge and I have answered it below.  However, this is just a partial list based on my own quick research.  I'm sure the Messiah experts out there could fill in the gaps.

Former Messiah Players currently coaching in the NCAA at...
Messiah College (all 7 coaches are former Messiah players – mens & womens teams)
Navy (3 coaches are former Messiah players – 2 mens, 1 womens)
Eastern University
Franklin & Marshall College
Geneva College
Cedarville University
Lebanon Valley College
Grove City College
Eastern Nazarene College
Campbell University
Dickinson College
DeSales University
Davis & Elkins College
King's College
Olivet Nazarene University (NAIA)
St Lawrence University (recent former)

Former Messiah Players currently coaching in the NCAA account for...
15 NCAA National Championships
At least 42 NCAA National tournament campaigns – across all three NCAA divisions

There are also numerous former Messiah players currently coaching at the high school and club level (including US Dev Academy).

SO MR RIGHT I HAVE FORTHRIGHTLY ANSWERED YOUR CHALLENGE...NOW FOR MY CHALLENGE BACK TO YOU.  Please list the D3 schools with more former soccer players currently coaching in the NCAA who have had this level of success.  I eagerly await your reply

Mr Right,

Still curious as to your response to my post.

[Saint of Old]

Carruth was indeed sick.
Unnatural for a man his size to have his skill.

Yes, Durocher is giving up the reigns at SLU after  25 years.

[Mr.Right]

Roger Williams names James Greenslit new coach. Former standout Wheaton MA player and coach with stops as an assistant at Holy Cross and Northeastern. Very good choice with a ton of potential for a young coach

Greg Ruttler named Stockton head coach:

http://stocktonathletics.com/news/2015/5/13/MSOC_0513155010.aspx


In 2000, Stockton scored on a buzzer beater bicycle kick to draw level vs Wheaton...  If only there was video footage of that one somewhere.

SCORING SUMMARY:
GOAL   Time Team     Goal Scorer              Assists                       Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   77:18 RSC      Pete Lambert (1)         Greg Ruttler                scramble in front
2.   78:01 WHEATON  Joe Jerele               Penalty kick                lower left corner
3.   87:59 WHEATON  OWN GOAL (1)       (unassisted)                own goal; last touched by Josh West
4.   89:59 RSC      Mike Ford (2)            Greg Ruttler                  bicycle kick from 25 yards

Richard Stockton participated in the 1999 Final 4 and got beaten by Wheaton 4-0 in the Semis.
After the Final A few of us met these boyz at the airport and they Guaranteed they would win the title next year.

It took them an extra year, but they won in 2001.

Great team back in the day, it might take a member from the golden years to take them back to the top.

[soccerfan111]

Saint of Old-any rumors out of Canton on the next coach?

I've heard Durocher's main asst from the glory days could be heading back. Any legs to that?

[Saint of Old]

That would be just rumour.
There are 3 main men could be either one.
Decision should come within 2 wks.

Team has not been this deep since late 90s.
Whoever it is has to win right away.
