2021 SMSU Mustangs

[Stanger86]

Looking through the list of Underwood assistants when football ceased at SCSU, a few I'll mention:

Mark Sipple, current DC at Augie: Unlikely to move, I'd guess
Doug Patterson, current OL coach at WIU: Unlikely to move, but was in St Cloud for 12 years
Chris Mussman, currently out of coaching: Decent resume if he wants to get back into it
Joey Nelson, was WR coach at Winona: Might be looking for a job

I can't contain my excitement for this hire! I'm grateful for SCSU's incompetence!

I can't think of anyone more deserving for another chance at a head coaching job. It's hard to think of another college football coach as loyal as Scott was to SCSU despite the administration's attempts to cut the program. Go get 'em, Scott! Go SMSU!

I'm thrilled with this hire, personally.

He was a good coach for SCSU, knows the NSIC... let's get to work.

Scott Underwood, out of job as head coach when St. Cloud State dropped football to turn futbol into its homecoming sport, is new coach at SW Minnesota State. Tough task, outstanding hire.

nope committe apparently very tight lipped and no leaks. DisaPPOINTING FOR FANS, BUT GOOD FOR THEM!

I was really surprised when Loyola of Chicago changed conferences and no one leaked any information. Pretty rare these days when people want to be the "unnamed source".

[MrMustang]

You hearing any names?

I don't know about the soccer situation (beyond what was released), but the rest are all voluntary. I'm hoping it's a coincidence and not a symptom of a larger issue - but I honestly don't know.

This is true. But still, it's interesting....
