So, are they on their second option? It was presented to us like they had a target. Did that target fall through?

Yes it fell through. Due to Alabama beating Cincy Nick Saban will not interview for the Frostburg job until after the NC game.

To listen to these FSU posters quote sources and rumors and end up tagging their own OLine coach as interim coach is pretty embarrassing.

Sorry...but I have to agree with you. This is embarrassing . And I am afraid this might hurt their recruiting.

It's still possible that they pull a rabbit out of the hat and hire someone big. But even a good coordinator will seem like a disappointment after how things were hyped up here, even though that coordinator may still end up being a great coach.

Any big names in the final rounds?

I am guessing there were a few on their wish list, but probably could not get any to really consider Frostburg State. Probably the Southern Utah hiring of former Frostburg State Defensive Coordinator John Kelling as their new Defensive Coordinator (according to Kelling's twitter account) REALLY threw a monkey wrench into their plans. According to his bio, the current interim head coach was a head coach for 21 years at then Potomac State College. Maybe this will work out....I definitely wish them well.

Did a quick search on Angelo Luvara and discovered he's no spring chicken. Which pretty much describes me and it turns out we nearly went to high school together. With 8 yrs at FSU, 13 at Berkeley Springs HS and 21 at PSC the total of 42 years puts him somewhere in his 60s. His bio lists his high school as South Hills Catholic ( since '79 Seton-Lasalle HS and Gary Dunn's alma mater) which means we missed one another by 5-10 years. Small world !!

Maybe not read too much in to the 'interim' tag. This is common practice. In most cases it just means he's in charge until the actual guy is hired. They have to start the weightlifting programs, etc., as soon as the kids report back from break. Somebody has to be in charge -- even in a temporary role.

I believe that is fair to say.

hard to recruit to that. not impossible but difficult. I think it would be hard to compete vs Sheperd, Bowie State, Notre Dame and Charleston for the same kids and win.
