Coaching Movement In Division 1
What a whirlwind of coaching moves since the collegiate season ended. The first dominoes fell in January, when Jason Peters was ousted from Pitt and Kevin Jackson announced he would be stepping down from Iowa State at the end of the year. Additionally, Bob Patnesky will be moving from Davidson to become the head coach at Penn State-Behrend, so there was a head job available in North Carolina.
