With all of the departures, I really hope to see experienced coordinators coming into the program. Not sure if we're in a position to poach FCS coordinators from another school to be honest.

I think we have a candidate on Staff for DC.

I think we have a candidate on Staff for DC. That may be the best approach too. If Curran is going to call the plays, maybe the OC role is irrelevant and we're back to looking at a junior level staffer to fill the QB role.

Right now Gunnell, Vaganek, Zarkoskie, Cordova, Grautski are still here. I feel great about these guys. Curran was absolutely going to be bringing in 3 or 4 of his own guys which is exactly what it will be. Safety, CB, DL, QB. Brian Vaganek has been a DC in the past and a good one. He’s a fantastic evaluator of talent too. He’d get my vote. Scott is a good guy. Wish him nothing but the best whether this was his decision or not. I fully endorse retaining Coach Vaganek and satisfying any reassurances he needs. He has been the lead recruiter for Northern NJ the last 5 years. KOT1972

I'm hearing Zark might also be gone, hope new coach has some good connections to start filling the holes.

No doubt in my mind that if Coach Zarkowski does leave that Coach Curran has someone in his pool of coaches to replace him. As we see with Chesney, guys left to go with him. The same is the case with Coach Curran.

The same is the case with Coach Curran. I think the concern here is that from a coaching perspective we're starting over when the expectation was to build off of the success of past 6 years. Obviously, this would temper expectations for the second signing period unless Coach Curran and the new staff are dynamic recruiters. Holding out hope.

By hiring Curran Kit Hughes was banking/hoping on this not being an issue. IMO this is/was a risky hire for Kit. Not shocked that the younger coaches are leaving. Very easy for them to pick up and go. Really hope BV is the new DC. Some continuity is good and needed on the staff.

Zarloskie is a great coach to retain along with Vaganek for both sides of the ball. Cordova, Vulcano and Grautski really keep the continuity in place.

A new coach wants mostly his own people, not his predecessor's. The Chesney era is over. Deal with it.

Change is expected with a new HC. I'm on the Curran train - all aboard to Frisco.

Looking at James' bio on the official HC website now, he resides in South Berwick, ME
Just curious, do some of these guys get on-campus housing during the season, an apartment nearby etc? It's a 2 hour commute each way from Woo to South Berwick.

Clearly he thought it was worth his effort! I thank him for that and wish him well (and a shorter commute.)

Curran and Grunell would be a great offensive combination in moving forward. The QB's in waiting will elevate our passing game and open up the ground game for Fuller & Associates....
Thankyou Scott James for your hard work ethic and game planning strategy ! May you and your family have a successful and healthy future in your endeavors.....
