FCS Head Coaches State Edge Edge In Chattanooga

NCAA Football Betting Lines

He has the East Coast connections, and New Jersey ties, which would be attractive to Rutgers' decision-makers. He also thinks outside the box and has a terrific understanding of what goes into building and developing a program.

 

While Keeler seemingly has the ability to make the jump successfully, a leap to Rutgers, even with the Big East having slipped in the last decade, would have him skipping the lower tier of the FBS to a job which would pay well over $1 million annually, although surely less than Schiano's salary there.

 

Other highly regarded FCS head coaches don't factor here because they have past experience as FBS head coaches, such as Georgia State's Bill Curry, Harvard's Tim Murphy and Jacksonville State's Jack Crowe.

 

Still others who haven't been FBS head coaches seem more like perfect fits for their current schools, or whose age might be a concern to schools on the higher level, are Montana State's Rob Ash, 60; James Madison's Mickey Matthews, 58; and New Hampshire's Sean McDonnell, 55.

 

Beau Baldwin - The 39-year-old might have to become an offensive coordinator first on the FBS level, but he's a young coach on the rise, having already won a FCS championship at Eastern Washington. He's flip-flopped enough at EWU and Division II Central Washington that he fits best for a FBS program in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Jeff Monken - It would take the right school at the right time - perhaps a program that is overmatched and willing to run an option to lessen its gap - but the 44-year-old has highly sought-after values and the recommendation of Paul Johnson, whom he assisted at Georgia Southern, Navy and Georgia Tech.

 

Conway, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Coastal Carolina first-year football coach Joe Moglia announced Thursday the hiring of Dave Patenaude as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Patenaude was Georgetown's offensive coordinator the past two years and has 21 years of coaching experience.

 

Georgetown improved by four wins in each of Patenaude's seasons as offensive coordinator.

 

Coastal Carolina was 7-4 this past season, including 3-3 in the Big South Conference.

 

Chattanooga, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team will kick off its 2012 season at South Florida and play five home games as part of an 11-game schedule announced Thursday. The Sept. 1 season opener at South Florida will be Chattanooga's second game against a Big East Conference opponent, following a 2002 visit to West Virginia.

 

The Mocs will open play in the Southern Conference by hosting Appalachian State on Sept. 22. Their other home games are against Samford (Oct. 20) and 2011 SoCon champion Georgia Southern (Oct. 27).
