We hope for great things! It is always a bummer losing your coach due to success, we have become used to it over the last few years. NDC should find a great hire soon.

Nice hire!!!

On a side note, will some of the Bears fans be upset if some of Notre Dame's College's talented players decide to follow Coach Jacob's over to LR? ;)

Biggest obstacle is changing offense and getting the right assistant coaches. Doubt he ask for release of any players for its just not ethnically accepted under most circumstances.

LR Personnel is tailor made for the Wing-T or Triple Option offense, hasn't LR made this mistake before with Kellar? SMH

[Marvin Everett]

Before it was mainly the wrong qb. The coaches son was just not a qualified starter and the culture of the team was terrible. I am a big supporter of the wing t offense though.

Seems like a great hire. Proven winner with successful DII Head Coaching experience

Is there an instance when it is ethnically acceptable?.....

Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I believe it is a player that asks for his release and then can be contacted by the coaching staff at another school. A coach does not ask for the release of a player at another school, as well as that coach cannot contact a player that has not been released.

[Marvin Everett]

I think you are correct. I need to discuss this with our athletic director next time I see her. Hope I remember to do this but could be a few days because of the holidays. Supposed to meet with our new HC on the sixth so I will see her then. I guess I could google it.

Speaking of players following their former coach...I saw social media posts today indicating that tight end Drake Starks (a Georgia native) is leaving LR and enrolling at Mercer.

Yes.

[Marvin Everett]

Yes he is going as a walk on. Makes you wonder what happened for him to make this kinda decision. Mercer must really need some players. He is a good one and LR will miss his talent. Hopefully he reached out to them and not the other way around.
