Just heard on radio and am trying to look into it more. But Danny Rocco is a possible candidate for the Army job that just opened up.

I haven't been able to see anymore on the topic, but i hope it's not true.

WOW NO WAY!

Uh guys, you might want to click here.

The possibility has been discussed at some length here:

http://www.flamefans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11286

The consensus seems to be that Army might be interested, but Rocco wouldn't.

At Army, Liberty head coach Danny Rocco and South Carolina defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson are two major names on the list

[Rooster Cogburn]

Would have never looked fo Rocco news in the NON-LU sports thread!

[BJWilliams]

It also should be noted that didnt Coach Rocco sign a nice extension last year or something?

Thats the kiss of death >See Ken Karcher<

[BJWilliams]

I think Coach Rocco could do better than Army frankly. The reasons for why he should stay have already been brought up in the other thread. I also am pretty sure that JB is aware of the level of interest in someone like Coach Rocco for coaching openings. I dont think that just because he signed an extension doesnt mean he is going to head for a job just because they come a calling.

[Hold My Own]

I made this statement on here right after Ken signed his and everyone went nuts b/c he didnt deserve it...its only as good as the buyout...the extension is simply a PR thing for recruiting


But yes BJ I agree....he has a ACC job waiting for him in 2 years. Although, what's that old saying? A bird in the hand beats 2 in the bush? Who knows what he's thinking but I dont think we should stress to much.

[SumItUp]

Danny Rocco is the Liberty coach. He will stay until he is 70 and logs his 250th victory. He will be a living legend on the mountain.

[ToTheLeft]

Honestly, even if he did leave, don't you guys think we'd draw a pretty good coach to replace him?

Nothing to worry about except losing guys to transfer and canceling LOI's. And even then I think we'd be alright.

Coach Rocco was 15th in the voting for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award...Mickey Matthews was the winner (He did get a first place vote though):

don't disrespect the poster of the year!!

I'm hearing that Army is going after Rocco pretty hard. I'd like to hear what Rocco has to say. I guess we all knew that others would come calling once he turned the program around here. The question is what is he thinking at this point?

[Stevev]

I really don't think that Rocco would leave unless a substantial increase in money was thrown at him. I think that he would like to get us in the playoffs and maybe if we could get a win or 2 in postseason then he would raise his stock and go to a higher calibre team than Army maybe an ACC program. Hopefully Coach Rocco will show some patience in this whole deal. Besides he has a lot of family here and why would he leave that just for Army.

[jcmanson]

It looks like Army has found their man in Cal Poly's head coach Rich Ellerson.

...and a collective sigh of relief comes from FlameFans.

[Cider Jim]

And an early Christmas present for us. God bless us every one.

[RagingTireFire]

Under Ellerson, Cal Poly has run an option-style attack -- and, judging by his record there, run it very well -- that is probably a better fit to Army and the type of athletes they can recruit.

[Champion]

Amen!
