Subject: New FB HC

I don't know what they had to choose from...but I can't believe they hired this guy McInerny. He is a journeyman coach with no prior head coaching experience coming from an A-10 school of no notoriety. Supposedly he was chosen over Mike Sewak former HC at Georgia Southern and a pereniall D1AA powerhouse. Sources told me the search committee had reservations about his long term committment. How about McInerny who has had 13 different jobs in 24 years of coaching? Or why not give Sewak a 4-5 year contract with a payback if he leaves sooner? doesn't make sense as they are now off in a different direction. For whatever reason they passed on Argast who the players loved and wanted so now they are looking at a whole new staff and a new philosophy. Problem is that they have 3-5 good players off of the two deep thinking of transferring if they haven't already done so. Only time will tell if this is a good hire....I don't think so.

I kinda agree with you, but I will take a wait and see approach and hope for the best. Sewak would have been my first choice, but if he was only going to stay 1 or 2 seasons (which I think was highly likely) we would be in the same position again very soon. I was very suprised he even interviewed with us. I'd want to be very sure he'd stay at least 3 seasons, no matter what offers he got - and he'd likely be plucked from us after just 1 or 2 good seasons.

I'm not sure, but did Argast really want to stay or was he too close to Masella? How many assistants are going to Fordham with Masella? If the kids liked Argast, that should have been a factor in the decision, but all this happened so fast (and at the wrong time), so its really put the school in a tough position. I also agree that McInerny has a well rounded resume, but his job at URI hasn't been spectacular and he has no HC experience.

There is some very good talent on the team and we have the potential to be a force in IAA football, but really what do we expect for a program still classified as "mid-major." The fact is playing as a restricted scholarship IAA program with little history and exposure, and even fewer resources makes this a very tough job to fill. With all due respect and gratitude to the NEC, CCSU needs to align its athletic program with larger public schools to take it to the next level!

Sewak was offered, he said no. Argast would have had to go through the search process because it is a state job and therefor needs to be searched for, he chose not to submit his resume and therefor was not a candidate.

So they end up with McInerny? Tell me he was the best of the batch?
