New Frostburg coach

[CALUPA69]

So im back. We swung and miss at some of the big time guys we try to get but coach wagoner will be a good fit. I was just missing because of some personal issues and now that i'm back in the swing of things i'll be back, semi consistant basis.

Welcome back!! Hope the personal stuff gets worked out satisfactorily. Drop in whenever possible especially in the dead zone between now and August. The more the merrier

Not quite the direction folks seemed to think this was going. Hopefully he is up for it. The MEC needs FSU to be a strong program.

I believe the coach is up for the task at hand. But he does have to complete his coaching staff, for Coach Fitz brought 3 coaches from Frostburg St with him. Now I want to see what they are going to do with recruiting, because other than the OL, they have a ton of starters to replace.

That was uneventful ... wow.

Maybe Real_FSU_47 is waiting for Feb. 2 to stick his head up ?!?

Looks like you beat me to the punch....lol !

[CALUPA69]

True. Like any first time HC we will just have to wait and see. I do think it's telling that none of the FSU fans have said anything. I'd be curious to know if they are just embarrassed their bragging didn't come to fruition or if they don't like the hire.

I don't think most people would make a big deal out of it if a big hire wasn't promised to us. Still, he might end up being a great coach and hire.

Wow, very lackluster hire, can't fault them. They went after their big fish but came up empty

I don't get it.. why would they make the OL coach interim and then hire the D coordinator coach as the new head coach?

NDCfan - My only guess is that maybe Frostburg State felt it needed a head coach in place to help their recruiting efforts. That is just a guess on my part.

[ShoNuff]

I honestly think they went after bigger fish and came up empty. For all I know, this guy will be fantastic and lead them for many years, but it isn't the head turner that we were told would happen.

While I have no knowledge of what went down, I kind of agree with you Ram Tough . Not sure how big of a fish they went after, but I think they went after former Lock Haven Head Coach John Kelling, who was previously the very loved D-Coordinator at Frostburg State. However, I am guessing that Southern Utah "out-bidded" Frostburg St for Coach Kelling. Therefore, they moved on to "Plan B".

So they spent all this time, named another internal coach the interim coach and then still hired within. Seems like the FSU crowd was a lot of bluster early on in this process. Hope this turns into a solid hire for them but how they got there, and a press conference at a later date is just weird.
