Re: Coaching Additions
Wonder why he was selected....seems to be an FCS journeyman except for a couple years at Temple and Western Michigan.
Wagner, Wilkes, Rutgers (grad assistant), Monmouth, Bill and Mary, Princeton, Penn.
Not exactly a Who's Who of powerhouse FCS football (nor FBS, with W. MI and Temple).
Recruiting, maybe? Hometown is Florida...but does he pull talent from there?
Well, he's a Hen! Hope he can improve our DB play.

Re: Coaching Additions
Yeah, let's slam the guy's resume and then welcome him with open arms.

If we recruited a whole team of zero star athletes that didn't have much proven success or staying power at blah level schools, people would ask questions.Youdee Blues wrote: ↑Mon Jan 12, 2026 5:54 pm Yeah, let's slam the guy's resume and then welcome him with open arms.![]()
But a coach is off limits?
So yeah...question the guy's resume...and note that it doesn't seem all that strong.
Then, yes, welcome him...he is a Hen.
Hopefully, the guy will make our DBs noticeably better and turn out to be a long-term solution for our D.

Re: Coaching Additions
Plenty of coaches go through multiple mid level schools to gain experience prior to moving up to a larger school. Let's give Carty and the new coach the benefit of the doubt. I'm banking on he does a very good job in developing young players and enhancing the play of more senior players. And given the fact he is a Florida native, it's safe to assume that will be his recruiting area. Just keep on improving the roster and we will be fine.
Re: Coaching Additions
I have no idea how this coaching hire will work out but I see nothing unusual in his resume. It’s pretty normal for position coaches to move around between schools to gain experience. Hopefully, he can improve the performance of our secondary and help with our Florida recruiting.
