NAIA and D2 are different. The scholarships work different, as well as several other things. Hendrickson oversaw 2 full time coaches and two graduate assistants. All operations, video, and lifting were done by assistants. Of course he didn’t understand how that worked. That’s on the AD and the search committee.

At a large D2 the operation works similar to an FCS school. Larger staff, more budget, a separate strength coach. Scholarship structure that’s more similar. NCAA recruiting and other rules that differ from NAIA.

There’s really not a big difference from the upper level of D2 from a school like us

There kinda is though. A top-level D2 is likely to beat us on the football field and have better facilities.

Really though, I want someone who has experience as either a HC at the D2 level or higher, or who has coordinator experience at the FCS level or higher. Ideally successfully at wherever they were.

Anybody know where Bibb is using the $800,000 we gained from the Rob jeter buyout? Assuming it’s for thr Myers buyout and a new coach?

OC at EIU, before that has been OC at Albany, Fordham, and UNI. Looks like he’s been in charge of some pretty good offenses around the FCS.

Exciting hire. Time for a rebuild with an actual plan.
