Be interesting to see how that goes. I’m always dubious of a hire like that after only one season as a head coach. It’s all new and exciting and often they have a good first season. Jumping to a P5 school that quick has thwarted many a career.

Thibault-DuDonis has the right idea sticking with Fairfield for another season at least.

I noticed that Chattanooga has pretty much dropped the UTC moniker. They are referred to as Chattanooga in most circles and on their Unis . Whatsup?

Chattanooga has always been a stepping stone for successful coaches to go on to greener pastures. Unfortunate they are in that position.

Chattanooga wants that UT money and resources while still holding on to its own identity.

Personally, I wish they would either go their own way or adopt more of UT’s branding.

Maybe they shouldn’t have fired their coach who won the conference

I noticed even on Vegas spread sheets it went from UTC to Chatt.

Welp, you are either a losing program, or a Coaching proving ground, or a Big Program that poaches these coaches. Sadly, UTC is just what it is.
