I don't know who, but I heard they were going to hire from within. Anyone else hear that?

well whats that mean? I heard the likely candidates were Deaton and Rice. Deaton was Defensive assistant last season. Rice was D coordinator 2 seasons ago but didn't coach last year, however, both teach in the system..

I don't know you tell me. If you look at it, Rice wouldn't be considered from within. He didn't coach on the team, correct?

Rice coached in 2004. He has not coached at Dayton since then.

In my opinion, Rice would be the best replacement for Lickert. They both have the same amount of passion, enthusiasm, and football IQ as Steve.

Why did Rice quit coaching this past season?

Lots of candidates have that. Are you saying Deaton don't possess those same qualities? Deaton knows the current system better and was around to see the turnaround and what made things improve for Dayton.

GO ahead and start the new thread, Zach Deaton is the new coach!

Congrats coach Deaton...........glad to see the powers that be got it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dancingpa :thumb: :ylsuper: :jump: :jump:
