Wow, you mean CofC hired someone with Men's Soccer connections? Shocker. Reading his bio, I hope he plays for the team. An Assistant Coach from two programs that weren't too successful is the best the AD could do for that job? Oh wait, the AD deferred the hire to the Jedi Master of Charleston. Think Yoda will cast his spell on young Luke?
I don't know how you can state that a team ranked in the top 20 is an unsuccessful program! It is obvious you know nothing about the Illini team last year.
Being an Illini alum I did follow the team last year with interest.
I didn't know a 7-9-2 team, 2-6-2 in Big 10, was in the Top 20. And based on the 2010 polls, I don't see them listed. In his two years at Illinois, they were 19-18-5, 7-11-2 in Big 10.
I wish him the best at CofC...having a relationship with Lundy should help. However, he had nothing to do with the previous success at Illinois from '03-'08. He's getting a CofC program that's in great shape....light years ahead from when Dempsey took over. I guess time will tell and hope it works for him.
Kick, so do I. Am happy that it seems on men's side the SC boys are getting better looks by the in-state schools. Not really up to speed on women's side but have been disappointed in the past at Winthrops recruiting. Don't know if that has changed with the ex-Radford coach. SC soccer is getting much better every year. Time will tell.
