Why is this in the football forum? Because they are our next opponent.
Wonder is a new coach might try to back out of our season opener? I can't imagine anybody coming in will want to get pounded their first game of an era.

Saint Francis University Director of Athletics Bob Krimmel announced on Monday afternoon that head football coach Dave Opfar has submitted his letter of resignation after eight seasons on the sidelines in Loretto.
Opfar helped guide a Red Flash program that had lost 23 consecutive games when he took over at the start of the 2002 season. Opfar, who leaves with a career record of 17-68, coached 28 all-Northeast Conference football players, including 10 over the last two years, during his eight seasons at the helm of the Red Flash.
“It has been a pleasure to work with Dave Opfar over the past five years,” Krimmel said. “Dave always wanted what was best for the student-athletes and for Saint Francis University. The class with which he represented our university and himself, during some very difficult times, set a standard for all of us in collegiate athletics. I wish Dave every success in his future career opportunities.”
A search for Opfar’s replacement will begin immediately. Krimmel stated that assistant coach Chris Villarrial will serve as the team’s interim head coach until a replacement for Opfar is named.
