I didn't know that the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference did football, although certainly some of the schools do.  Shenandoah is an affiliate member for lacrosse - but I don't knwo where they play football at the moment.

I would not at all be surprised to see the ACFC dissolve in 2009.

I did hear the Ernie McCook was interviewed, but I've also heard that several colleges have tried to lure him away from Shepherd over the years all to no avail.

My son tells me that Rogish met with the team last night and seems like a real good guy.  My son is jazzed up again about playing for him.

Frostburg has finally named a new coach - Tom Rogish.  He was the linebacker/special teams coach at Shepherd, and was previously the defensive coordinator and associate head coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Well it appears that Frostburg is restarting their coaching search.  This appeared today on footballscoop.com.  Has a March 7th deadline.

Frostburg State University is seeking a full-time Head Football Coach.  This is a 12 month appointment with USM benefits package.  RESPONSIBILITIES:  This position will be responsible for the overall success, performance, and conduct of the football program. This person will assign duties and supervise coaching staff. Recruit, retain and graduate academically successful student-athletes. Promote the football program through public relations activities, alumni and friends of football relationships.   Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to overall departmental philosophy.  MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:  Applicants must possess 3-5 years previous coaching experience as a coordinator at the collegiate level.  Bachelor's degree required.  PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Head Coach or Assistant Head Coach experience at the collegiate level.  Master's degree preferred.  To apply, send letter of interest, resume, and the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of three professional references by March 7, 2008, to: Frostburg State University, Office of Human Resources, ATTN: Head Football Coach Search (Position #08-010220)

Coach Steveson has indeed stepped down, the job was posted and I know that they had candidates in either the last week of January or the first week of February.  The players were invited to go and speak with the candidates.  Though I thought someone would be named by now, I guess it's really not that long of a time.  I believe that the assistant coaches are working recruiting.

By the way is there any word on changes to the ACFC, four teams is awfully low to call a conference.

I heard a rumor that Frostburg may be restarting their coach search.  Somethings about the first group they had in being too expensive?  Anybody hear anything that confirms or refutes this.  I was also expecting to hear something about the coach by now.

Thought I would pass this along from footballscoop.com

Slightly different subject, for those of us whose teams are not in the playoff picture.  Rubin Stevesnson has been promoted to Associate Athletic Director at Frostburg.  I woudl assume that opens up the head football coach position.  Anybody know what's happening there, or what's going to happen to the ACFC next year?
