Les Robinson announced today that Bulldog Football Coach Kevin Higgins has received a 1 year contract extension to keep him in Charleston until 2012. Higgins base salary of 139,000 dollars is very competitive with the top paid Head Coaches in the FCS. The Citadel, coming off a 7-4 year with victories over rivals Furman and VMI returns Qb Bart Blanchard for his Sophomore season which will be his first year as the Cadets starting signal caller. www.citadelsports.com


Well Done Coach Higgins!

As a yankee living in ATL for 38 years I think he will want to stay! :)

Well deserved and I hope he stays at The Citadel a long, long time!

If you can recruit and win at The Citadel, then you deserve coach of the year.

Good moves by Robinson (who is a class act and fine AD) and Higgins (who is a class act and a fine coach). Football at The Citadel is definitely moving into a strong position.

Do they pay that in Confederate money, or in the Monopoly money carried by the Northern aggressors?

Higgins doesn't know it yet, but he will never be allowed to leave. We will take his family hostage and hold them in the Provost Dungeon.

Brace yourselves, guys. The SoCon races are about to get more intense. Man, do we have some good coaches in this conference or what?

Tell me about it. Just about everyone has their programs going in the right direction. Performance will be key though since everyone can't win. Somebody's going to have to lose.

At any rate, no matter who comes in, the SoCon coaching ranks are stronger by the subtraction of Kent Briggs. The guy was totally clueless. Can I get an Amen, my Catamount friends?

.......which means that the #3-#5 teans in the SoCon won't make it into the playoffs in spite of being better than 50% of the playoff field.

Actually, you are wrong, I am not one of those who thought we should get in this year, and I do think we'll get in when we deserve to get in, which I expect to be soon.

It doesn't really matter since it's true. #3-#5 in the SoCon WOULD beat half the playoff field.

Win seven D-I games and they'll be happy to invite all y'all.
