Is it an unpopular opinion to say that this is an ideal time to just axe the program? Most if not all our MAAC rivals already have. What are we still doing this for? It's an unnecessary financial drain and we compete with teams like San Diego, Stetson, and Davidson that necessitates excessive travel. If it were at least more regional, it'd make sense. As it stands, it feels like we're clinging to a sport that has already moved away from small NE colleges like ourselves. Might be popular here but not with the trustees. They have data that indicates the students want to go to a school with a FB team. Secondly, the FB is counted on for diversity in a big way. Winning football, however, has failed to make the consultants recommended list. Tim, dont crap the bed. Lets get this right. If a Patriot jump was to take place a new coach would be one of the first moves. I know its a long shot but as Marist fans all we have is long shots.

It should be someone like this but the schools glaring acceptance for being mediocre will turn off a lot of talented applicants. Tim, this is where you come in.

Jim is decent guy but I’m glad he’s decided to end it. We need to go outside the Marist world and much of the staff will go. A new philosophy on recruiting is required. We’ll see.

I am hopeful marist will see an improved football program can help in a number of ways,including conference flexibility if maac implodes. I don't see maac imploding, but having a good football program can be a potential saveguard.

Some names from outside D1 (head coaches) Ralph Isernia, RPI Jon Poppe, Union Michael Toerper, Ithaca Chris Pincince, New Haven Anybody from the Parady tree that has had success in coaching? Doesn't have to be a head coach. Scratch off Jon Poppe, he got the Columbia job. He'll be beating Marist for years.

Popped was on Columbus staff for a few years awhile back

Holy Cross coach takes the JMU job. Haven't seen anything about a new coaching staff Dang, well the DC probably just follows him. As an aside, shocked JMU didn't try for a bigger type name or high D1 assistant.

He took them to the playoffs 5 years in a row. All this at a school that sucks in nearly every other sport (I see you Mo Magarity)

Watched South Dakota State roll over UAlbany. Hard to believe SDS is a FCS team. UAlbany players couldn’t touch an SDS player in open space.

Possible Coaching candidate? I don’t think so why would he go backwards. Right. St. Thomas hammered Marist the year they jumped from D3 to FCS. I’m sure this year’s Cortland Team would throttle Marist. Our daughter attended Cortland and ran track. It’s a great sports school with very nice facilities. That was 2010 - 2013. It’s even better now.

Yes, but it Cortland planning on making the jump anytime soon?
