Elon has hired Temple’s running backs coach Tony Lucas for the same job and Chris Young, Colgate’s OC for the wide receivers coaching spot to round out the football coaching staff.

Elon has put together an absurd coaching staff!! What are you guys paying assistants?!?!

Tony Lucas produced ballers at Temple! Colgate's offense is rather "blah" (just how they roll) but that doesn't mean Young isn't a great offensive mind. 'Gate was always well prepared on "O". With that said, he's going to be a position coach at Elon!!

With due respect to Coach Cignetti et.al., this is the most accomplished coaching staff, top to bottom, that Elon has ever had.

Very interesting. Looks like it's going to be a great game 8/31

Agreed. Somewhat head-scratching. Going from OC to WR coach and moving 1,000 miles and the other being a 'lateral' (pun intended) move as to position, but FBS to FCS for the same $??? Maybe Trisciani has prior relationships. Whatever, kudos to Elon. Trisciani was my first choice for the Lehigh job.

Yessir. Win or lose, I have always enjoyed our “crosstown” rivalry.

The big thing is that We, Elon have kept our offense and defensive schemes in place and have now recruited into 3 classes to carry this out so there is really no new learning curve for players or coaches. All are super experienced recruiters & Chris Bland from KSU is an Elon legacy.

The Young move is strange. Not only to a position coach spot, but his wife was the women's lax head coach & its just been announced that she's stepping down immediately... will continue to work in the athletic department, promoted her assistant to run the team. The Youngs have young kids so thinking maybe she can't travel if he's working/living somewhere else? Smells like he may have been asked to leave, but that's just speculation...

If forgot Elon has a Law School in Downtown Greensboro.
