UD appears poised to hire Rocco as football coach

Kevin Tresolini | The News Journal

Richmond coach Danny Rocco will discuss the University of Delaware football coaching vacancy Monday with UD officials, the Richmond Times Dispatch reported Sunday.

But the most important dialogue has apparently already taken place.

The News Journal learned later Sunday that Rocco and UD have likely already come to an agreement for him to become the Blue Hens' next coach and an announcement may be imminent.

Everything points to Rocco, but until they announce it you never know.

Rocco's agent is just trying to milk some more cash out of UD.

Now UD beat reporter tweets that Rocco is talking to Temple.

The Temple opening is definitely a wildcard for Delaware. They are likely courting Wilder and Rocco, and Rocco would likely have interest in both Temple and ODU.

Scratch Wilder from Temple. CAA Flagship and another donor ponied up for his raise to keep him:

Another joins the fun...

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/spor ... an/402627/
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga head football coach Russ Huesman has been linked to a coaching vacancy at Delaware and a possible opening at Richmond, according to various reports.

Attempts to reach Huesman Monday afternoon were unsuccessful. Huesman has gone 59-37 in eight seasons as the Mocs' head coach.

Richmond's current head coach, Danny Rocco, has also been linked to the Delaware opening after stating he would weigh other coaching offers in the off-season while questioning the vision of the Richmond program. A report Sunday night stated that Rocco and Delaware had possibly come to terms, but a report Monday had Rocco also linked to the recent opening at Temple.

Yes, he has pretty clearly been Plan B.

GoHens has a Richmond source stating Rocco meeting with UNJ-R tonight. Not sure if it's a goodbye meeting or not.

Philadelphia Inquirer's Marc Narducci cites sources that Rocco is out of the running at Temple.

Now just to find out if he played Delaware for a raise...

Gotta figure this is settled today either way: Richmond or Delaware.

Sounds like Keeler may be the next Temple HC.

Wonder if Longo goes with him or stays to take over SHSU.

Supposedly Longo wouldn't even talk to UD.
