ESPN radio reporting Rocco's departure is official. let's still get this thread to 20 pages
I used to travel on business to Delaware, it's the overall nastiest state in the U.S. I would never go to a sporting event there.
Pretty unacceptable move on Delaware's part as well to lure a coach from the same conference.
You can DO it. I believe in you.
It's too bad they don't determine pages by length of posts.
We don't think we're prestigious, we think we're just better, which is why we hired the defensive coordinator from the University of Florida.
Then you probably prefer lower level football. All of our games are on national TV, we beat Penn State last year, and hosted college game day before a sellout for Notre Dame.
how do we know delaware even contacted him, may have been his agent contacting delaware when they fired their coach in the middle of the season. hey jhg, temple is the only school i know of that has been kicked out of a conference due to being putrid, the only one. yes, you have been lucky with your last two coaches, really like both of them but don't get carried away that you are some power, you are not.
Is Rocco backtracking..."“So in my mind, I used the word ‘vision.’ Maybe I used the worst word I could have used.”

"Danny Rocco said he was close to returning to Richmond as football coach on Monday. His move to Delaware, made official Tuesday, was not a foregone conclusion, as many thought, according to Rocco." RTD
I think we all know that is not the truth.

i would suggest pure BS but it makes him look more caring. this was done weeks ago, no doubt.
Is MolivaManiac backtracking..? "So in my mind, I used the chant "Danny Rocco." Maybe I used the worst chant I could have used."
Road trip to Newark to slow chant "Rooooo-ccoooooo?"
You need to have a greater "vision" of where this thread can go.
Seeing those tweets makes me sick. We are going to lose every decent recruit we had lined up to come here. I'm pissed at the administration but im also really pissed at Rocco for disrespecting our fan base. He took his personal vendetta against Gill out on the whole university and now everyone has to suffer....he shouldve just left, didnt need to set the house on fire on his way out.
Yeah i hope you are right, but with Pitts already de committing I think we will see a significant loss. Just gotta hope a new coach keeps some and maybe brings some of his own top commits from his last school. hopefully the majority of the guys committed to the school, not the coach but i doubt that will be the case for all of them.
Richmond "has been real good for me," said Rocco. "But I do think it's time for me to move on."
“The landscape of college football is changing rapidly,” Rocco said Tuesday after news of his move was reported. “And some of the adjustments that you’re recognizing are significant adjustments. I think the support at Richmond is there. I don’t think there’s any doubt that the school is supporting football.
“I had numerous conversations with (athletic director) Keith Gill and with (school president Dr. Ronald A. Crutcher). I felt they were willing to kind of meet the most significant needs.
“But my statement about vision was more the landscape, the landscape is changing so rapidly.”
“I don’t know that Richmond will be able to match those (landscape) changes,” said Rocco. “So in my mind, I used the word ‘vision.’ Maybe I used the worst word I could have used.”
“I was never in a position to say ‘yes,’” he said, referring to Temple. “When I mentioned ‘weighing options,’ there were obviously other things that could have been out there, but the one that had the most traction for me was Delaware.”
“I am closer to home. I am back into the region that I really started my coaching and recruiting career, in the state of Pennsylvania,” said Rocco. “That’s where all of my ties are. My dad was the president of the Pennsylvania High School Coaches Association back in 1982.”
“I’ll be a little closer to home and be at a school I think is a little better fit for me moving forward,” Rocco said. “To me, this is the only (FCS) league to be in, for me geographically, the only league I’d want to be in. I learned that quickly after arriving at Richmond.”
“I really would think that next year’s team would be highly ranked as they head into the preseason,” said Rocco. “Richmond is going to hire a really good coach and they’re going to have a really good team. And they’ll have really good teams throughout the years. I recognize that.”
Thanks for the exit interview, Coach.
