Clarion has parted ways with head coach Chris Weibel, official release to follow. They'll be opening up the search immediately. Not sure what kind of interest they'll get but I think candidates will be pleasantly surprised to see the funding they'll have to work with. most numbers that I've seen floating around are a little dated.

I don't think they had a choice. He was 0-11 and just about every good player in the program left town -- several during the season.
Whomever they hire won't do any better. But, they probably needed some fresh blood.

No place to go but up. However, as people like the Ville have found out, it's a tough climb back to respectability. That's likely why this had to be done, to not let things get any worse with all the portal players. I hope they don't just stay inside and bump someone up in a losing program.

I think most likely new HC will be an internal promotion, tough with the timing for next year's recruiting class. Some names from around the area that may throw a resume on the table that are former players:
Andrew Moore
Tyler Huether Mike Deitrick
JJ Eckels
Andrew Fragale
Kyle Bish James Ferguson

Andrew Fragale shouldn't be considered for a head coaching job just yet. But he'd be a good hire for Clarion or Lock Haven in a defensive role. He's from Emporium so he could be valuable in mining all the small D9 schools in north central PA.Last edited by Fightingscot82; 12-22-2021, 08:23 AM.

Dec. 21 ... that's cold.
But I've been told that Weibel still had 1 or 2 years remaining, so he was bought out. If so, then the timing isn't so bad and provides him with a cushion until he figures out his next steps. He'll get a lump sum for unpaid salary, a payout for unused PTO (plus what he would have earned had he worked), retirement contributions and the university share of health care to buy into COBRA for the remainder of his contract. This is based on what Edinboro had to do to end the Scott Browning era back in 2015. If so, Weibel will most likely make the PennLive list of highest paid state employees next year.
