the cadets have missed the playoffs for a last two years. not much patience since going to the ncaa's in 2012 and 2013 (and winning the regular season title in 2014). Matt Reid was dismissed yesterday.

That is tough to understand. He seems to have done pretty good job with the talent he had...and two years ago was everyone's darling (from what I heard).

Matt Reid was dismissed yesterday. The problem for Reid is that he wasn't the coach in 2012 and 2013, when they were winning with Joe Sottolano as coach. Then Sottolano was fired for some bad off-the-field behavior and Reid became interim coach for 2014 - when he won the regular season with Sottolano's players. That title got him the job as permanent coach - which a number of Army fans were not happy about at the time. Since then, their recruiting under Reid has been poor and the program has fallen badly. Not a big surprise that he was fired. |

He has not done a good job and his firing was expected. Thanks for the reminder, bison. I was referring to the praise I heard about him when he first got the head coaching position. Since some of my friend's kids (and a grandson) have graduated from AWP, I don't regularly follow Army except when they play HC. |
