It's Been A While...

Since I last posted. Actually close to a year. The reason being was I was coaching at Monmouth University. Now I'm back. The reason being, is because I am no longer coaching at Monmouth. There weer plenty of times that I wanted to blog while on the job there, but I wasn't quite sure if I was going to break some sort of NCAA rule/law/bylaw/etc. They have a book that's about 450 pages long with rules, so I'm pretty sure everyday I might have broken one just by waking up. But now I'm back on the market for a job. I would love to continue to coach, but coaching jobs in DI are very hard to come by. What's particularly most frustrating about not being at Monmouth anymore is that I think that we were going in the right direction as a program. I know our record didn't show it this year, but we had a year full of adversary, and we had 16 games decided by 5 points or less. I thought that it was a great feat to accomplish that, especially being shorthanded for much of the season. We were doing a great job recruiting and things were looking up, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. I will say that I enjoyed and appreciated my time at Monmouth, and I wish them all the best going forward. It was good being home for the last three years, but it's looking like I will be moving away from the Jersey Shore for the next chapter of my life. Luckily for me, I'll have my wife and dog with me.

In terms of what I'll be doing next, I don't know. I would love to continue coaching, as as I said earlier, but it is tough to find a job coaching. So, I'm looking at all of my options, in all locales. If any of you out there have any ideas, or jobs for me, please let me know. Until then, I will continue the hunt and continue to blog.
