That's a heck of a jump in coaching ranks but it's not unheard of as Buffalo HC was a D3 HC before getting the call to coach up a MAC doormat. It's worked for him as they've gone to bowl games back to back and had a few NFL draft picks as well. At least he'll be a coordinator or position coach with assistant HC added to the title so not as much pressure and or backlash from the fans/followers of the Rockets. Will be interesting to see if Mount Union hires from within or if they make a splashy hire themselves with an outsider. They definitely won't be lacking qualified applicants once the job is posted.
