Wednesday--November 23, 2011

Matty V. has a story about Andrew Dees, who is the only football coach at UMass tight now.

I've linked to this story previously, but it has some background on Dees.

Jeff Thomas has an article on eleven UMass players named to the CAA All-Conference Team. He also mentions what a commenter here said about Jonathan Grimes being named the CAA Special Teams Player-of-the-Year.

Thomas also has an article about UMass searching for leadership in its head coach quest.

He mentions two more names as possible candidates for the UMass job:

George Barlow--current New Mexico DC and interim HC. Bonus material on Barlow.

Michael Haywood-- former Miami of Ohio coach. He's a former MAC Coach-of-the-Year. More material on Haywood.

Richmond is also searching for a HC.

I got to watch UMass dismantle Boston College on ESPN3. Matty notes former UMass star Shannon James was in the house.
