Random acts of senseless sporting - 11/9/09
If Salem head football coach Mike Kopachy is the Division III Coach of the Year (and he will be), then Salem varsity volleyball coach Don Conser should be named Coach of the Century. Conser is five wins from 600 total. If he sticks around another four years he’ll hit 700. And in case you didn’t know, from seventh grade up, volleyball in Salem is as ridiculously good as it has always been. There won’t be a drop off in the program. Charlie Weis is going to get the biggest payday to be arguably college football’s most mediocre coach. Another loss. Navy struggled with Temple a week ago, then looked like the Patriots in South Bend. Coordinators don’t often make good head coaches. There are exceptions, but both Weis and Romeo Crennel are total slugs. The best thing Crennel did was get a sound-bite altered for for a Coors Light commercial. Mangini is not far from joining him.
