Originally posted by Matt Burglund View PostI don't know anything about anything, but if I was Lock Haven, this is what I'd do:- Hire someone who has been a head coach before and who has a defensive background.
- Have him hire an OC who has a background in the Triple Option or something of that nature.
- Have your HC be your DC.
- Take your limited scholarship money and put it into the best QB you can find who ran your offense in high school. If he's out of state, get him anyway. Money shouldn't be a consideration on this.
- Put a few dollars into a serviceable backup because your QB is going to take a beating.
- Put the rest of your money into linemen on both sides of the ball. You can get all the 5-10, 180-pound RBs and 5-11, 200-pound LBs you need locally.
- On defense, don't do anything risky. Play a simple base and try to keep things in front of you. Be competitive on the line of scrimmage. Stress fundamentals like tackling and leverage.
- Basic philosophy should be to run the ball and eat the clock on offense and limit the big plays on defense. Don't let games get out of hand.

Originally posted by IUPMonk View PostAnd the the dormant IUP Angry Mob implements of destruction used by the Lock Haven Angry Mob have been returned safely to the Flemming St. tool shed. Word has it that the Lock Haven Angry mob was commended for cleaning, buffing, and polishing the bludgeoning implements of destruction, and cleaning, buffing, polishing, AND sharping the pointed ones. Also, all touches were returned with new torch heads and new cans of torch fluid. The dormant IUP Angry Mob was so impressed with the returned condition of the implements of destruction, that they have included the steps used by the Lock Haven Angry mob in a re-write of the IUP Angry Mob Weapons of Destruction Rental Agreement.

Actually, LHU is the only NCAA school that "plays up" in 2 different sports. 2 D1 sports but it is the smallest PASSHE football-playing school. Of the PSAC D1 Wrestling schools LHU is the closest to Title IX compliance. Edinboro and Bloom have been in trouble in that area. As far as I know it hasn't been a contentious issue at Clarion.

I don't know if that's 100% true. I think its more fair to say they don't prioritize football. Honestly, I don't know how one can have football be a priority (as one school would say, Tier 1) while also having Division 1 football. That's a whole lotta men's roster spots for a school struggling to maintain 3,200 students and just 40% men. They certainly can step up their fundraising and revenue generation. If Northwest Missouri State can fully-fund football in a town of 11,000 then Lock Haven can do much better than 4.5 full scholarships in a town of 9,000.
Side note: the only schools to "play up" in Division 1 wrestling are all in PA: Bloomsburg, Clarion, Edinboro, Franklin & Marshall, and Lock Haven.

Yes, I'll be curious to see how "national" this "national search" is.
In the past several years they even had open forums with the community for the bigger coaching jobs.

Originally posted by shipfbfan12 View PostWhile LH is in the shadows of State College I think with the right hire, proper alumni support and a booster program that can generate $$ to boost scholarships LH can be at least a mid tier PSAC East program. Kids these days who end up at D2 are looking to compete for PT, compete for a conference championship and a regional title while having to pay as little as possible for school. The coach they need will probably turn down the job without a real serious commitment to upgrading the program and fully supporting it with practice facilities/stadium upgrades and scholarship increases needed to attract the better talent. The conference can also do LH a favor by scheduling their home games the weeks PSU is on the road so the locals aren't traveling to State College rather than watching the Bald Eagles play.
I don't think your statement is fair to the rest of the conference - plus the schedule is made two years at a time two years ahead of schedule. I'm not sure PSU's schedule is that concrete. I think Lock Haven could do themselves a small favor and adjust start times based on Penn State's.
