SFU wouldn't make any sense unless he continued to teach at BC. I can't imagine the pay at SFU would be good enough to make that a reality. Altoona would be a great fit for him, if they offer. Not sure what happened last time, but I heard there were some people involved in the decision that shouldn't have been. CC has a coach, unless you know something we don't. I think Craig would be a good fit at CC, but that job isn't open as of today, could be by the end of the season. Again, he would have to keep teaching at BC with this one and I don't think that would go over too well. That leaves FH. Is Bailey done? What else would Craig do at FH besides coach football? He's not a certified teacher, is he? I think the Altoona job would fit best for Craig, but does he really want to leave? I don't know, just asking.

When all signs pointed to Craig getting the Altoona job a few years back the head coaching position was offered to my cousin, no need to reveal names, but he turned it down.

I think Craig Sponsky would be great for any football program but first there needs to be an opening and second he has to want to leave BC. I just know he is a dedicated, solid football coach but there will always be some bitterness because BC beat up on a lot of bigger schools for years regardless if you think it was on the up and up or not.

If no one else is going to call BS I will. Altoona wanted someone from within their own school for political reasons and they got one.
No need to name names cause you are blowing smoke.

Altoona - All but voted in and at the last minute something happened (sheetz). Had a position as attendance sup.

FH- All the talk on here, I think would be a great fit. I just can't FH spreading it around like J Myers likes to do.

SFU- Their def is letting up 45pts a game, I heard in the past Craig was asked to go to different colleges to coach DB's. So who knows, Def Cord how much does that pay?

CC- Heard things aren't good there, but who knows its a long shot b/c he needs a school position.

Isin't he also and AD, he could do that at any school. Not sure what it pays, but that is a thought.

Is there a Kevin Sheridan or Sam Shutty waiting in the wings at BC? Are there any of their alumni actually coaching anywhere out there?
Seems like the fans are even ready for a change from the two games I saw this year, at least from the comments in the bleachers.

I have always felt that discipline has been the weakest part of this team while Craig has run the show. Dumb penalties, particularly the unsportsmanlike stuff. Kids slamming helmets on the ground, mouthing off to refs. Then you have what looks like every parent from the team on the sideline. When they have a Woo, Schilling, Forcellini they look great, but no stud, they look real bad.

I think that a lot of the stupiud penalties come from the kids, being kids. Yes the coach is resposible for their actions, some of thoes things will happen. I think depth has a big part on the issue of discipline, if there is no one behind you on the chart you can get away with things of that nature.
