Time for my customary "come join the Gulf South" post. The Gulf South conference in D2 Crum continues to get stronger with each season. We currently have 6 active coaches and have a couple very attractive openings for any coach looking for a good up and comming D2 conference.
The next coach of Quachita Baptist (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=8197) will have the opportunity to replace 4 SRs and a walkon in this this recruiting class, so 5 open schollies. Next season the team will have 4 more schollies, so this is an opportunity to largely rebuild a roster in just 2 season.
The same can be said for Alabama, Huntsville (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=8200), where there will be 5 open schollies this season and 4 more next season to rebuild.
The most attractive opportunity is Delta St. (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=8193). After 5 seasons the coach of Delta St. decided to take on the challenge of D1. He leaves behind a strong team that made the 2nd round of the NT last season and finished ranked #19. An incomming coach would only need to replace 2 SRs off of a very good team.
Anyone looking for a challenge could take on one of 2 other openings in the Gulf South's North division, which sent 3 teams to the NT this past season. The first is Harding (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=8194), which will have 2 open schollies this season (both replacing walkons). The second is Lincoln Memorial (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=8196), whcih will have 6 openings (3 graduating SRs and 3 walkons). Lincoln Memorial will have its leading scorer back next season.
I hope some of you will choose to come join us!
