Trust me, I know a thing or two about modern journalism. I am just trying to see who is claiming the news conference.

Frankly, I could see Coach Rocco headed to Penn State in some capacity before I could see this UR possibility. But I have been wrong before and I will be frequently into the future.

I don't know man, this is weird. I've always "semi-supported" UR. This is weird.

I always felt if Rocco were to leave any time soon it would be after this season. However, I always thought it would be for an FBS job after we made a nice run in the playoffs with Brown, Summers & co.

More money is not likely an enticement at UR. Neither are resources or FBS potential. This makes no sense at face value which is why I remain cynical at this point.

What are you guys paying Rocco? And what do CAA football coaches make?

I know some on here have wanted Rocco out. Makes me wonder if more important people did too...

Man, I really hope this doesn't set the program back. I love Danny and wish him nothing but the best. Hopefully Barber and Co. can make a great hire.

This has always been my understanding.. Coach would love to be at Wake Forest at some point. He will have a better chance to land that job if he is at Richmond than at LU.

Especially if he can't get LU over the hump.

Also, as you can imagine things haven't been all peachy since the Stoney Brook game. The timing is perfect for both sides. We are a much better program because of Danny Rocco and I can promise you that we will land a great coach. We have the resources to do it and its not like the new H.C is getting a bad team.
