UD cans Dave Brock.

That was quick, does the administration actually CARE about football now?

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

Or culturally appropriated something?

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!

Chrissi Rawak
Director of Athletics and Recreation Services

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.

He was fired now because any fleeting chance at the playoffs ended yesterday.

Well, that and the fact that a team that had the longest running span of consecutive years averaging over 20k attendance up until five years ago now gets about 10k actual at games. Also season ticket base dropped from 11.5k to 5k in the same timeframe.

Now UD must make its most important athletic hire ever. I think the AD realizes the weight of this search.

Have you guys been pinching yourselves to the point of massive bleeding to make sure you're not dreaming?

Impersonating a football coach is a crime...as was what he did to Delaware football.

WTF? You are not really serious. Coaches get fired midseason for sucking all the time. He sucked. The team was going no where and the fans were leaving in droves. This was a necessary preemptive move for the FANS! They were sending a message to US! Not Dave Brock!

It's nice to wake up knowing that rock bottom for your program was yesterday.

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

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

I think I owe you around five bites. Please take a shower before (and after ) the crab feast on Wed.

Ding dong! Now, maybe we can get back to the Battle of the Blue actually meaning something.

Honestly, who ever gave a fuck about that game? You guys are a basketball school anyway. You guys don't care about football and we don't care about Villanova. Tough to make that into a "rivalry".

I have two words for you. Rich. Mond.

Y'all should hire a CEO. I hear Stampf is recently unemployed.
