Never heard of him or the school.

What other alums interviewed?

Came second last for both men and women in their conference. Had PLENTY of coaches with WCU ties in D1 guess the AD was as much of a dick as rumored if this was the hire

If Davis takes over WCU, who takes over LC?

Who cares!

It's a legit question. Plenty of D2s that are very strong or could be with the right personnel in place.

Well they're trash so I'm sure this isn't one of them

Never know.

Who is TRU?

Seeing as there are only 2 coaches on staff at WCU and one of which recently came from KSU...

However, Kennesaw already has an Associate HC in Duane Morris. Could he be interviewing for his current job?

New to this. Anything other than D1 seems to be scoffed at. Even though this is a place for college positions, it's mainly for D1s?
