Any news on the new Benedictine head football coach or who the candidates might be or when they will be interviewing them????

Benedictine makes a hire.

Experience working with both Lance Leipold and Chris Creighton.  Hard to pick two better coaches to learn from before your first HC gig.

As well as experience at the D2 and D1 levels. Should be useful presuming Benedictine is successful in its D2 application. All in all appears to be a good fit.

Former Benedictine WR Matt Fleming signs contract with Chicago Bears after showing out at rookie minicamp. NACC's got talent, been sayin it for years  ;)

Concordia Chicago has a new head coach, as they promoted defensive coordinator Mike Juscik to replace Randy Awrey who resigned after 5 seasons at the helm. Seems like a strange time for a coaching change...

Benedictine transition to DII has been approved. It's a multi-year process, so the "when" part is unclear as it affects football. They'll play their DIII schedule this season but I believe will be ineligible for post-season.

The NACC said in a separate statement that this will be their final season in the conference, and confirmed that they are ineligible for the playoffs. So if BU were to win the NACC title this season, would the Pool A bid pass to the 2nd place team or would it be lost?

On a different note, Leanthony Reasnover of Eureka was named 3rd team preseason All-America at RB!

Speculation on my part, but I believe the conference can award their automatic bid to whoever they want.  Obviously, it's customary to give that to the league champion, but not required.  In this scenario, it seems clear that they would award the bid to the tournament-eligible team that finishes highest in the league standings.

This happened at Occidental last year, and things fell apart.  They ended up playing only three games.
But they also had had no support from the AD and the administration.

They also brought someone in from the outside and took some time to do it. CUC promoted from within and did so promptly. I don't think the two are really comparable.

EC joins the NACC after it's first ever NCAA postseason appearance.  This team lost some starters on defense, but still has anchors in DE Macae Skaggs, C Trevon Moore and returning S Tony Greenwood.  EC brings back a load of offensive firepower, including All-American running back Le'Anthony Reasnover, QB Drew Barth, and the entire receiving corps.   

Preseason polls are what they are--that said, this is not the program that NACC teams picked on 10-15 years ago, and should have a chip on its shoulder after being picked 4th.  Time to go out and prove it.

Pat Coleman

They may have a chip on their shoulder but I think Eureka in fourth is the right place. I know the NACC isn't the best of conferences but the Red Devils won literally the worst conference in D3 last year.

I concur with Pat here. For me I think they could've been picked maybe a spot higher but right now, they need to prove that they are contenders on the field this year. IMO I think it'll go.
