Dear Blue Hen Family:

Since arriving in Newark this summer, I have quickly come to understand, what it means to be a Blue Hen. Having high expectations and creating a culture of excellence in the classroom and in competition are important values of the University of Delaware. With that in mind, I write to you today to share that we have informed Head Football Coach Dave Brock that he has been relieved of his duties.

Over the last 4 years, Dave has worked tirelessly to ensure that our student-athletes reflected our University values, and he has represented the University with class and dignity. Dave was successful in many ways, yet we simply did not accomplish enough on the field. As we evaluated the program, we concluded that a change was needed now for the benefit of our student-athletes, our program and our loyal fans. We wish Dave and his family all the best and thank them for their commitment to Delaware.

Co-Defensive Coordinator Dennis Dottin-Carter will serve as the Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2016 season.

We now turn to the task of finding a new leader for our storied football program. We will work hard to identify candidates who exhibit the coaching acumen, passion, work ethic and values that we insist upon at the University of Delaware. I ask that you be patient and respect our process to realize this objective. More importantly, I ask that you support these outstanding young men working so hard to represent the program in their remaining games for the season.

I am incredibly committed and optimistic about the future of Delaware Football and appreciate your support as we move forward.

Go Hens!

Why would anyone fire a coach in mid season unless he committed a crime?

Or culturally appropriated something?

Exactly, it had to be something extreme for them to act now. Unless they feel there's a coach out there that they want to get the jump on.

Well, at least now it's only "partly cloudy"!

Oh, bite me. See my rant on the AGS Ivy Week 6 thread.
