I hope he knows how to plan a car wash fundraiser.
Clarion is my sleeper this year. The West wasn't too hot a year ago. This year will be quite different.

I hope he does so well he gets snatched up because I'm always a Boro guy. My only hesitation is how well he'll do with the worst gym and least scholarships in the West. The last guy did better than worst every year.

I'm not. It's a good hire. He's got connections up and down 79. For a short time, guys will slobber on his Drexel gear.

What's unfortunate for him is that he was a finalist for the Gannon job with almost unlimited resources and ends up at the Boro. He now has zero resources and most likely minimal pay. We'll see soon once his pay is posted.
But his biggest obstacles are things missing from his resume. He's never had to fundraise. West Point, Carnegie Mellon, and Drexel are swimming in money. Fundraising isn't a thing at D3 and coaches just make appearances at any sort of fundraising event in D1. They're the celebrity guest for a major ask. He's never had to coach on a shoestring budget. He's never divided scholarships. He's never had only a part timer to assist. He's never had to sell crap facilities without a world class education to make up for it.
I think he's probably a very good young coach with ties to the area. There are very critical secondary skills you need in D2 that I don't see mentioned. He's got an uphill climb.

His head coaching record from years ago is pretty good. His wife is from the Edinboro community. He's coached at D1. He's from the region. All positives.
