Last time HC brought in a former head coach from BCHS to coach at the Cross, it was Bob Norton back in the 1960s. Of course, what followed was the contaminated water and a cancelled season because of jaundice. Perhaps if Nuncio comes things will take a more positive turn this time. That was Hepatitis, caused by a virus from a water faucet at the old practice football field. Hepatitis A maybe? I remember the following season the football team got popsicles instead of water at breaks! I think they still used a bucket with a ladle back then....

How do we tie in the Cocoanut Grove tragedy in this new head coach thread to get this thread really off the rails?

Seriously though.....when you think about this opening, what aspiring coach WON'T apply?
A history of a stepping-stone to the FBS-level, facilities that many FBS programs don't have, a program that is going to have very coachable/good kids, an administration that wants you to succeed, an alumni-program that can plug kids into successful career paths......seriously? What are the down-sides?
Purple-tinted Ray-Bans here....but the HC football job is one of the best in the country.....we should expect that the ones that want this position warrant this.

What are the down-sides? The Patriot League with only medical redshirts and a one bid League. High academic requirements, limiting the recruiting base

I don't think our recruiting-base is that limited due to academic restraints....see Chesney's recruits. If we recruit nationally, as we have historically....it shouldn't be an issue.
Red-shirting is another issue....we need to expand red-shirting beyond the medical red-shirt year if we want to compete at the highest level of FCS.

I looked at the calendar and saw that finals end tomorrow. Recruits are on campus this weekend. It would be great if KH emerged from Hart today, stood in front of the Cousy statue, saw his shadow and announced a great new coach to lead our guys into the future.
(I’d settle for a press release and a fuzzy photo.)

No idea on timeframe.
Some candidates that interviewed were told they didn’t get it and other potential candidates were told HC has their guy.

Certainly would make sense to the recruits arriving today.

I’d be disappointed if some of our local Worcester posters don’t make their way up to the Luth to see who is greeting the recruits and their families

Amazing to me that we have no leaks.This tells me 2 things. Internal hire or a close to the circle hire!! And waiting was 5-7 days was just to make it look respectable .Or i could be wrong haha If so, why not announce today ? Certainly would make sense to the recruits arriving today.

You would think that, even if ADKH has the HC inner circle tied up tight, there would be a buzz around the coaching community about at least who have interviewed.

He's certainly done a fantastic job in his role, but I've never seen him speak in person. Does he have the personality to be a head coach?

Love James great guy and loyal to HC obviously. But i don't believe hes the public/media/all the other things that come with the job off the field but again i can be wrong!!!!

If it's been this quiet, I lean towards it going to an internal hire I tend to agree. And the domino effect of a coach departing another program (to head here) causes noisy ripples of its own.
