I was reading the Kenny Mitchell thread and keep seeing a reference to a new OC from Hofstra. Hiring of new coordinators are used by many football schools to excite the fan base. If this is true why hasn't this been announced publicly.
Also did the process we went through affect us in any way either negatively or positively. For instance did it hurt being down two coaches who could have been recruiting or did does anyone think it will hurt getting the new offense in because of how long it took to get someone in place?
Until Georgetown announces new coaches, consider it speculation. At this time the staff directory does not list any new coaches.--Admin

as long as they have most of february (now gone) and upcoming spring practice to implant the new system, the offense should be pretty much installed. as DFW mentioned in another thread - looks like we've lost a ton so any offense will be run by youngsters which may have pros and cons to it so time will tell.

I Until Georgetown announces new coaches, consider it speculation. At this time the staff directory does not list any new coaches.--AdminThis goes to the heart of stdno's comment. I have heard that there has already been at least one meeting with this non-existent coach. And given the non-existence of any official information, that would explain the non-existence of any pre-spring excitement about the future of the offense. I wonder if there were any philosophy students in the meeting with this non-existent coach. Perhaps they could have developed an ancillary to Descartes' position to explain why they were meeting with someone who does not exist: "I coach, therefore I am".

The OC, while not officially announced it seems, has met with the players. I was also told that the receivers coach is now the running backs coach and a new receivers coach has been brought in.

This seems to parallel the arrival of John Perry in 2005, who was employed by Dartmouth as OC through the end of the academic year so Georgetown didn't mention him until the summer.
Perry's tenure was unremarkable--Uzelac didn't relinquish the offense, Benson was out at season's end and Perry was not retained by incoming coach Kelly, so he moved on to a year at Hofstra and then to Division III Merrimack.

FYI: this is available on "GUHOYAS" under 2010 football camp.... Camp Staff All campers will be instructed by each of the positional coaches of the Georgetown Football Staff as well as the Strength & Conditioning Staff. Kevin Kelly: Head Coach Dave Patenaude: Offensive Coordinator Rob Sgarlata: Defensive Coordinator Luke Thompson: Linebacker/Special Teams Adam Banks: Wide Receivers Frank Colaprete: Defensive Line Matt Dence: Running Backs Brad Dunlay: Offensive Line Augie Maurelli: Head Strength

Actual, not unbelieveable...totally believable.

98hoya, let me add to the list of unbelievable:
1. No progree report on new AD search 2. No announcement of new football assistants 3. No progress report on MSF 4. Incomplete football schedule for 2010 season 5. No published Spring Practice dates 6. Football awards lunch, brunch, dinner? 7. No fund raising effort 8. No effort to build football alumni support 9. The football website has not been updated in months 10. No news from Gridiron Club
When are we going to get serious about building a football program?

You just gave me that football season feeling...and it's only March. Hopefully, the new OC (if the summer camp brochures are to believed, that is, that we have one) will create a positive change.

6. Football awards lunch, brunch, dinner? there hasn't been any banquet or award ceremony for the seniors? are they combining the ceremony with the spring game again? I personally hate the one ceremony catch all, the seniors deserve there own evening to remember their college fball careers.

In answer to your question, yes, they're combining the banquet and spring game again.

Is this a cost cutting move, or is it another example of total insensitivity?

I am not trying to take anything away from the seniors. They have worked hard and deserve recognition, but there is a very obvious problem here. We have had abysmal records, and currently have 9 games scheduled for 2010. There is no chance of getting even 10 games on our schedule for next year. This is 3 games less than most programs. There is nothing to gain by playing a Georgetown "PROGRAM," no matter what measuring stick you use. Even if we wanted to fill our schedule, there we would not find a 1A, 1AA, or even division 2 team to accept the game. This is a major issue. We currently do not have an AD, and maybe we will be getting one soon, but do you really believe that an incoming AD will continue to support a "program" that plays less games than high school teams? It pains me to say this as a former player, who bought into the vision of "Georgetown Football," but at some point, we need to put these dreams to rest.

thoya, what is most disturbing to me is the lack of communication.
We really have no idea what is going on. I hope it is not the beginning of the end of the Hoya football program, but rather a quiet period waiting for a new AD.
The good news may be, things cannot get much worse.

You actually do have the idea, you're just in denial. On the bright side, Richmond pulled out. That's a blessing. On the other hand, I cannot believe they cannot keep the DC CUP magic going. Maybe Obama can broker a deal. Forget the AD, he can't help for the upcoming season. The new OC will breathe some new life into the offense and the boys will likely score more points than in each of the previous 2 seasons. I think he can deliver a "W." Leaping forward to 2011: take a look at the new HC Cornell hired. The guy has a nice resume and has been a head coach before. Can GU get one of those.

Sorry to be the one to break the news but the offense is basically going to be the same. No huddle, all the plays called from the sideline so by the 3rd game, every team we play will know what we are doing. There is not going to much change and there is going to be a very limited number of incoming Jrs. and Srs., especially on the lines, participtaing in spring ball. I have heard that there will only be 4 D linemen healthy enough to play this spring. The offensive line is not much better.

I have heard that there will only be 4 D linemen healthy enough to play this spring. The offensive line is not much better. I think we should be a little more optimistic on the new OC. Calling the plays from the sideline and running a no-huddle by no means means that our offense will be the same as the one we had this year. he format for calling the plays and timing the offense is NOT the same as having terrible substance, and the type of teams who call plays and time their possessions this way could run the gamut from no-huddle to run and shoot teams. That's not to say the new guy is great or bad (or even exists - it still hasn't been announced that we have a new OC, as far as I can tell), but jumping on him for the method of calling plays is off-target in my opinion.
