Coincidence? UD job still vacant as Spiders win again


Keeler, 57 and originally from Emmaus, Pennsylvania, was a three-year starter at linebacker for Raymond’s Delaware teams, including as a junior on the 1979 NCAA Division II championship team. Keeler then succeeded Raymond as coach in 2002 and went 86-52 in 11 seasons, including winning the 2003 NCAA Division I-AA title and finishing second in 2007 and 2010.

However, Keeler was fired on Jan. 7, 2013, with then-athletic director Eric Ziady making references to the “direction” of the program with few specifics. He was hired as Sam Houston State coach before the 2014 season and has a 34-9 record, making Keeler 208-86-1 overall in 23 years as a head coach, including his first job at Division III Rowan (N.J.).

Keeler’s successor, Dave Brock, coached Delaware to a 19-22 record before being fired Oct. 16 of this season. He was replaced on an interim basis by co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Dennis Dottin-Carter.

Coach Danny Rocco of CAA rival Richmond has emerged as the front-runner for the Delaware job, with many believing he may have already been offered and accepted the position. However, Richmond (10-3) plays at Eastern Washington in Saturday’s FCS quarterfinals.

Both Rocco's and Keeler's names have also come up at Temple in discussions about who may step in after Matt Rhule's move to Baylor, The News Journal has learned.

temple would be stupid not to be interested in DR. the question is whether he wants that type of school, program. they have been the dregs of the earth in football but their last two coaches have done a great job there. much different environment, location, type of school but if the money is right, who knows. love the guy who just departed but really feel that baylor made a big mistake hire. think he is a very good coach but just not a fit there. baylor was able to compete because they could score 50+ points per game. this guy runs a power running game and he will never be able to keep up with OK or TX trying to run against them, have to outscore them.
 
I feel like Temple will look to make a bigger splash than DR, but who knows.

Kevin Tresolini from the New Journal is the real center of the universe on all things Rocco.
 
If we lose him to Temple, life goes on and there's really no one to blame. If he goes to Delaware I imagine pleasants hardware may have a pitchfork shortage.

If he goes anywhere I hope it is to Delaware if only to expose that the emporer has no clothes. If he goes to Temple, people will look the other way and business will continue as usual at the Robins Center, and our AD can continue to make speeches on nothingness out of state while his house is on fire at home.

This would be very painful but yes, valid point.
 
I think those cards are on the table will be played one way or another

Valid point. Can I just close my eyes and hope Rocco stays?
