Wow. Our whole coaching staff is really young.

Haven’t seen it elsewhere. Charles Owens named Director of Player Personnel.

With everything going on, I had forgotten about him.

Helps with diversity among the staff.

Is it just me or does there seem to a number of positions you have to wonder "is this really necessary?" Dir of player personnel? What is that? On-campus recruiting? do we really need that position? Just like so many other industries, there seems to be a tendency for administrative expansion. Never enough worker ants, plenty of queens.

Do you understand how many visits school has per year? With all these visits, who would organize all the activities, meals, gifts, etc for each of the hundreds of kids that come through?

There's a re-organization of sorts going on, I think, with Rahne's tenure. Which is probably a good thing.

Tough time for new head coaches:

If you renew your season tickets before May 1, expect a call from one of the staff members. My friend got a call from Rahne. I got one from Coach Reihner. Pretty cool to see this type of fan outreach.

Interesting. I figured it was tied to season tickets since I renewed yesterday and got the call today.

Rahne called me a couple weeks ago while he was in PA.

I had a call from Rahne a couple of weeks ago also. I gave him a few tips on play-calling...

Haha. It was right when all the news was growing about covid and I only answered because I was working from home. I could tell he was busy so didn't ask any questions or anything. But was definitely a surprise.

They moved the season ticket deadline from May 1st to June 1st now.

The win probability for next year is bleak. Only against Hampton (96%) and UCONN (52%), is ODU favored.

Apparently beating UTSA is a tossup

That was in February. It's a whole new world now.
