WTF?? Spring Game Experience scars Hargreaves, heads to East Carolina

Well, part of that is true. Media reports from ECU say that Vernon Hargreaves is leaving BG for East Carolina. He was coaching LBs at BG and will coach the D-Line for the Pirates. I have no idea if the spring game played a role.

This is disappointing. Granted, we had no idea whether this guy would succeed for us. On the other hand, he coached for the Miami Hurricanes for eight years, and I think we felt he had the chance to really deliver for our program at a position where we need some coaching.

When we hired him, I said the Nation was "gaga" over him. So, I expect some disappointment.

Not to mention we now need to go get a new coach, and then let the LBs adjust to yet another new coach before the season starts in less than 100 days. Not a good situation. Perhaps a good solution would be to put D-coordinator Mike Ward (who the Nation was anti-gaga over) in charge of LBs for this season.
