Dan Malone has a timeline on the Coach Molnar era.

Ron Chimelis adds snark.

Mike Wegsyn considers return.

Matty V. has a story about the search. Quote from the article :"A national search for Molnar’s replacement is already underway. Unlike previous coaching hires, which have been conducted entirely by UMass athletic department staff, McCutcheon said the school will employ Florida-based Carr Sports Associates as a search firm to consult on the hiring process that he expected to go quickly."

The last two football hires by the athletic office did not go well. Kudos to Chancellor Subbaswamy for insisting on some outside help.

UMass went into the FBS era with a team that has gone essentially .500 the last three years. The Minutemen went into 2012 with only two returning All-CAA players.

If the decision to hire Coach Morris in 2009 was designed to save money, it cost a lot more in the long run.

Let's get this hire right and move forward.

I'm not going to link to any more stories about Molnar's firing. I'm tired of sportswriters bashing the program.

Matty V. Says Carr Sports will play a big role in UMass' future.

Matty also looks at some of the things that brought Coach Molnar down.
