This week Robert Hunt announced that he would leave BC to move back into professional football with the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL. The Nighthawks are going to be led by Joe Moglia who is also founder and CEO of TD Ameritrade. We will miss Robert and perhaps his final contribution to the program can be a stock tip sometime next season. Anytime a staff member leaves, we look at it as an opportunity for us to make the program better.
Certainly in Scott Lemn we had an easy replacement solution at offensive line. In Scott, we will be able to keep an excellent young coach around BC football for the 2011 season. In these situations, established players have to make a new impression and earn new credentials at their position. Kids who might have been evaluated as back-ups a year ago get a chance to start with a clean slate. Both circumstances if attacked right, allow the collective group to get better.
We look for offensive line play in 2011 to be a key ingredient in our ability to be successful. Between Coach Healey, Coach Johnson, and myself, all of whom have some defensive line experience, we will cover that group during our spring ball work in April. A new Defensive Line Coach will be hired in early summer to prepare to lead an experienced group of kids in the fall.
Entering my 17th season at BC, I look forward to getting somebody on campus who has seen it done differently. New ideas are not a threat, they give the organization a chance to self-evaluate and often times grow for the better.
