FCS Head Coaching Changes
I believe as of right now there are four head coaching openings in the FCS. They are
- Stony Brook
- Northwestern State
- Southern
- East Tennessee State
There are likely to be more head coaching changes announced tomorrow and the rest of the week. None of the coaches who have been fired or will be fired will be receiving a $70 million plus buyout as Jimbo Fisher will be from Texas A&M.

Hiring an alum of the program worked out great for SIU and it looks like it's working out well for EIU...but apparently not such a great idea for us. At least, not one who only has 3 years of HC experience at the NAIA level.

Speculative coaching change. Chesney goes to Syracuse. The ‘Cuse can’t afford or attract another sitting P5 coach, and they need someone to “sell the program” and build a culture and perform miracles in recruiting. Syracuse has become a bottom 5 program in a P5, and their recruiting classes are consistently ranked below several G5 programs.

David Archer is out after 11 seasons at Cornell with a 29-71 record. He was a very questionable hire from the start, being a position coach in his early 30’s who did not have a head coach resume. Somehow, he lasted 11 years despite at no time showing he was a competent head coach who was building a winning program.

2 theories:
He’s an alum who was very well liked and they thought he could grow into the position.
Cornell does not care about football.

Makes sense. Staying within the region, Chesney is a known name that should help their recruiting. Sad to see such a venerable program flounder for so long.
