Colgate

Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

The real question is do we have freshman & sophomore talent sitting on the bench? At this point we should let them play if there is truly talent there.

If we have no studs from those 2 classes then clearly we have a coaching problem to deal with & a cost reduction with Sterrett taking over the football HC position in addition to AD is in fact appropriate as suggested above.

Joe S could be in his 60s if I am not mistaken

Does he even want the HC job?

If he does I am ok with that

But if close to retirement it might be easier for him to pick up the phone and start a Coaching search

You really want Sterrett to do the next search after this colossal screw up. I'm still not convinced he will concede that this hire was a epic failure just yet. Unless we go 0-11, which is a real possibility, I get this sinking feeling that he is willing to ride it out until the end of Gilmore's contract.

The PL is starting to step it up....

Holy Cross crushed #20 Monmouth 45-15
Fordham is up on CAA Stony Brook 28-14 in 4Q
Lafayette is about to take care of Penn by double-digits

Even Georgetown had over 500 yards of offense against Columbia. Lehigh is SOOO much worse than their peers its past the point of "alarming"....

Very good point

I have tremendous respect for Joe as a Lehigh standout player

But unfortunately not a very good HC talent evaluator apparently

Not sure where we go from here..but the Football winning tradition Sterrett started is in serious jeopardy

Should Sterrett resign and we get a new AD? Who knows?

He should admit his mistake..no one is perfect . Maybe he gets a Committee of former players to help

Giving Sterrett the benefit of the doubt at the moment only because Gilmore could have been last on the list and he was the only one interested. Otherwise, I don’t know why Sterrett hires a coach with a losing record.

Could not agree more. I think Gilmore is probably a nice man, but he has no idea how to coach college football, nor did he find coordinators who could help in that regard. Why would anyone want to watch this team? Joe Sterrett has to step up to the plate and make a change. Heck, he'd be a better coach himself.
Nope. Gilmore is not a nice man either. His reputation within the coaching fraternity is well documented. Lehigh is a disaster because this man knows nothing about building culture. In fact, he has destroyed every morsel of culture that existed. Brisson will legitimately never coach D1 football again after this season. In fact, quite possibly not even high school. Feel bad for the alums and players who love this program.

If Gilmore’s personal reputation is deserved, all the more reason to make a change now before we potentially lose whatever decent athletes we have. Sterrett needs to act and fast.

What is his recruiting success over the past 2 years? What do we have in the way of a stud recruits other than Garcia?
