Assuming he's been let go, I'm sure it wasn't an easy conversation for Coach Davis, but it was needed. Offense made huge strides, but the defense looks like they regressed a little.

Interesting, I figured he would get another year to see what he could do when he had more of "their guys" on the roster.

Looks like we're hiring former Valpo HC Landon Fox as our DC: https://footballscoop.com/news/source-w ... ad-defense

Looks like a pretty nice hire. Looking at stats the defense was good while he was in charge at Valparaiso and the Dayton defense looked pretty incredible while he was there. I'm excited for the team heading into next season.

Not very impressive as a HC but looks like he's made his mark as a DC with strong midwest roots.  There IS lots to be excited about for 2025 season.  If we can survive the opening B1G games & find a QB we could be very competitive.

Looks like we had previous WR coach for only a short time.  Nice WIU reference too! https://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/oh ... ve-analyst
