Seems like he was the one recruiting Ponds to JMU 
Progrum
Now is not the time to take it easy Francis.
It’s possible, ofc. However, this move also suggests Hetherman is getting comfortable where his feet are. It’s the first guy he has brought onboard via co-sign.
I hope you are right!!!!
I’d love to see it
It's good to be part of the "haves".
Welcome to the U!
Welcome to the U!
I'll reserve judgement on this hire until @MedleyCane posts his "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" coaching lineage on this guy.
j/k MC. I always look forward to your coaching lineage reports on all of these guys.
Appreciate the reference SFbay.
Too kind.
I think Memnon, Cookies, and E1k got this coaches corner on lock down.
I think it is not a surprising hire given that most asst coach hires have some connection with the HC and/or coordinators.
I like the fact that he has worked and with for some good coaches at Maine, at JMU plus Leipold/Shelby at Kansas. He checks some good boxes.
I know he was fired at USF, but that could be due to several factors not necessarily pertaining to coaching.
Perhaps he was not getting much traction recruiting Florida kids at USF, something that his successor DVD potentially offered.
If this was the reason, this would not be a concern at UM as he's standing behind a bigger football brand whose leadership and staff are already strong recruiters.
Also, there are many instances where good coaches get fired for various reasons, often not because off-field/personal or coaching issues.
I believe Sonny Lubick was fired at one of the Big Sky schools he coached at, and we know how
he eventually fared in his latter years.
