“However, at this important time in UD Athletics, and after thorough evaluation over the past two months, I believe a change of direction is needed in Delaware football. We must reinvigorate our program and reenergize our supporters as we lay the foundation for future success.”
at this important time in Delaware athletics? Is Delaware trying to get into the ACC ahead of us too? Big East?

Interesting article but read the comments. This has been brewing. Add a new AD to the mix who know what his allegiances are.

They're a state flagship, theyre gunning for the B1G. Trying to get a massive rivalry going against Rutgers and Maryland.

This guy was THE face of Delaware football.. I mean squeaky clean type, Dudley Do-Right type dude ( http://www.bluehens.com/inside-athletics/staff-directory/football/keeler.html ).. with success... Kinda surprised they are cutting what seems to be all ties with him...
One thing's for sure, his perfect world got rocked...

Funny even Delaware acts more big time than UConn. Fire PP. Fire him today.

So firing a coach=big time? That's pretty strange logic. Programs become big time because they take the time to build something and stick to it even when things look bleak, not by firing a coach every time they lose a game or have a bad season. UD probably just made a huge mistake, but at least TDHusky thinks it makes them look big time.

Yep. Places like Delaware at their level in CAA and Auburn (three seasons removed from national championship) are not satisfied with mediorcre to poor seasons. Maybe it just a New England thing . . . . heck, Carm Cozza coached forever at Yale. Yeah, maybe that's the model UConn's following.

Frank Beamer coached at VTech for 6 years before he made his first bowl game. He's made 20 since. Granted there were fewer bowl games back then, but if he started his career today he'd have been fired and VTech would still be turning in 3-4 win seasons, probably still in the Big East. Anything worth building correctly takes time and patience. That Delaware fired Keeler after an outstanding decade only shows that their new AD is an egotist and most likely an idiot, not that they know what it takes to be big time. The fact that UD hired someone that's been in BC's Athletic Department for the last 14 years leads me to believe they might even be trying to de-emphasize athletics

TDH I think you would agree that if Pasqualoni & company had the matching record Chizik and his crew had the past 2 seasons he would have been fired too. I think the Pitt and Louisville games saved P's job.

You know, I've been thinking this as well. His chance to move up to the FBS level and stay somewhat regional. I could see it.

Stay away until the smoke clears - this is the first time UD has EVER fired their FB coach. Think about that while you type "they are acting big time" or "hire the guy". There is a story here, but the Delaware press is even more beholden to UD than we see here. He was a star player, beloved alum, won a NC, and they unexpectedly fired him. This will set them back for years. Stay away until the smoke clears ....
