Baltimore, where his dad played for the Colts.

Well, that was quick. Must have been in the works.

Towson (FCS - MD): Towson is turning to one of the top Division II programs for their new head coach.

If he doesn’t follow to Towson, I’d think the Argos Asst HC could be elevated to the top job.

Wow! Wasn't expecting that. Good for him and his family.

UWF is going to be a great spot for some coach.

I would think this would be a dream job for many coaches. I hate to lose Coach. I hope we keep the same culture that he helped create. Arete.

NO DOUBT. A lot of us have been talking since the game, and we all felt like that the way the team played, word was out among them that Shinnick was leaving.
No doubt it was in the works for some time. Can't blame him. He was developed a program with UWF that his replacement will thrive with. He will do the same at Townson.

There should an extensive search. There will be names we haven't heard in a while. They owe it to the program to look everywhere. If they come back to current staff, so be it.

Very similar to our situation last year. Wonder how many assistant coaches will leave? We lost all our coaches but 1.

Hopefully UWF search committee learns from others.

Would believe that they could poach a HC from a successful D2 program…we shall see.

I'm amused by Football Scoop's headline of "fast-rising" coach for him. This will be his fourth head coaching job, and he's been a head coach for 32 years.

This is exactly what happened to VSU last year playing Ferris in the championship. Gary Goff accepted a job with McNesse St. ( 4-7 this year). and I’ve been told the players found out about it,
and got decimated by Bulldogs, 58-17. Our players played with little emotiion.
Good Luck Argo’s in finding a coach.

I'm sure there's a lot of very successful and high caliber D2 head coaches across the country telling their wives that the UWF coaching job just came open, with their wives asking where is WFU located, with their husbands responding, it's in the Pensacola / Pensacola Beach area, and it's around 75 degrees there today, with their stunned wives saying, what the hell are you waiting for? Get down there ASAP and get in line for that job!!!!
