Wow... what a piece of shitackie move to say the least. 76-34 gets one fired ????
We are in a world of what did you do for me yesterday. Maybe they got Sabin to come out of retirement.

I don't hate this move. That school clearly desires excellence considering recent moves, but since they started making the DII playoffs, there hasn't been much improvement. Second round was the ceiling. Hope they can find a Bob Chesney kind of up-and-comer. Any notable DIII coaches in New England?

So yeah that seems abrupt. What's the deal here?

Abrupt, or inexplicably pre-planned, but rough after 4 straight D2 playoff seasons. Also interesting, the interim coach/DC who just joined New Haven after 2 seasons as Darien High School DC and some prior college assistant experience.

I dont like it unless the coach wasn't happy about the D1 transition or maybe there's some issues about how serious they'll treat football? Resources will become a quick problem at the next level

I suppose "right man for the job" does come into question moreso in that recruiting tactics may need to change. Still, I'd rather give a winning incumbent the chance to move the team especially after 10ish years

I almost wonder if Pincince doesn't want to deal with NIL.

Some big name coaches have moved on to retirement or moving to the NFL because of NIL... Not sure of what New Haven has for donors or endowment.

Story out there that he didn’t find out they were moving to D1 till 15 minutes before it was announced and it went downhill from there:

If true, that's a really terrible way to treat a seemingly high achieving employee.

Isn't that similar to how Edsall found out about UConn football becoming an independent?

Don’t schedule them. It did not end well the last time we played.

If we play the way we did back in the Memorial Stadium days of the late 80s early 90s then we've got some serious issues...
