Not to knock the team, because Mercyhurst have some very nice talent on both sides of the ball, to include one of the best Punters in Division 2 and should have been contenders the last three years. But when you can only beat teams like Lake Erie (New HC who will be even better next year), Gannon, LHU, Edinboro (injuries), Clarion, and a 2-8 Millersville (giving Hurst this game), losing to a Seton Hill team. How long do we have to HOPE to have a winning season? The arrow points only one way and that's the Head Coach. You had 18 yrs to produce and his record shows he cannot. At some point you have to take off the blinders and see. Remember ND was a poor program, now look what the new coach have accomplished in 2 yrs. Its not the players, it's the coach. This includes all the other Bottom Feeders as well. May beat Millersville, but in the conference you are under par.

Being a private school I'm sure if the board wanted they could buy him out of his remaining contract. The issue is finding a HC who will want to come there and stay long term to build the program into a regional contender. Competing for talent against schools with great history like IUP, Cal & SRU is a tough sell.

As a private school, Mercyhurst, at least in theory, can cast a wider net into Western New York (Buffalo/Rochester) and Northeast Ohio (Cleveland). Though, you do have the MAC schools plus NDC which could be seen as added competition for Hurst.

Where does Laker Football fall in the pecking order at Mercyhurst? Men's basketball, hockey, baseball and men's wrestling seem to get a lot of attention and focus up there.
Hate to say it -- although I think it to be very true -- some schools in the West kind of punt football and put resources in to other sports. Trying to overtake Cal, SRU and IUP in football is a pretty tall task.
There's a lot of schools in the PSAC treating football as an enrollment boost. They like having 5 home games a year. The band plays. Some people show up on campus. The team wins here and there. They have a Homecoming game. All is good.
