FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Quick Note...Dakich Departure

If it is as it appears, the departure of Dan Dakich from BG had all the hallmarks of a Dakich Operation--one where he controls his fate. From the way MoFul writes it in The Blade, he appears to have surprised everyone with his letter that said he wouldn't consider a contract extension. It took the University "several" hours to recover and get a statement out. So, it sounds like Dan knew his fate and launched a pre-emptive strike.

For those in the Falcon Nation with ants in their pants, note this:

“[The search] may take a while. There’s no set deadline, no set timeline,” Christopher said. “It will involve a number of people on this campus and also the feedback and research of a number of people I want to talk to nationally.”

Christopher also made it clear that he does not intend to speak publicly during the search. So settle back. You probably won't hear much in the way of facts until the position is filled.

So, with that caveat here are suggested names, supposedly from The Blade. The FalconNation fully expects Christopher to bring the Purdue guy in. Time will tell.:

Josh Oppenheimer, associate head coach, Kent State
Cuonzo Martin, assistant coach, Purdue
LaMonta Stone, assistant coach, BG
Chris Mack, assistant coach, Xavier
Louis Orr, former Seton Hall coach
