Offensive coordinator. NOW!!! WTF???? JU wants to be a lawn chair, watch flag football program with a picnic basket with no stadium seats? Crazy. Nuts. He would be a great addition to this staff as offensive coordinator. Don't blow this one Mac.

What planet is your bottle on tonight Danny. JU fired him after a 9-2 season.
lol
Yes, but for readers here not obsessively monitoring ESPN radio or t.v., that nugget of news appeared on ITG only in a single terse reply on the 4th page of the rambling and overly broad "Official Coaching Change Thread":

And here in central Florida, e.g., sports-news attention is now divided between the UCF incoming football coaching staffs and the bleepin' Orlando Magic, with maybe a little left for the Gators' SEC CG in Atlanta.
Some of us actually have local news instead of a battlestar gallactica or 24/7 twitter. Not rocket science nor high tech.
JU's response was that Kerwin wants the school to eventually become a football program that offers scholarships. The AD says they are committed to being a non-scholarship FCS school for the forseeable future.
Local news reported that they didn't even talk to him about this issue before releasing him, just called him into the office and said thanks and goodbye.

Not according to reports. The violations were more about the administration (they were "creatively" offering academic scholarships to some athletes) than they were about the football team.
Kerwin did an AWESOME job for JU and they have angered lots of old Jax folks, including this Seminole. I have to think that with so many Gator faithful here in Jax who have sent JU a few $$ in the past there will be some pain on JU for this screw up.
Someone should hire him ASAP cause he is one of the good guys and a very good coach BTW.

Why would any school wanna purposefully remain a non-scholarship program? It puts them at a huge disadvantage.
If JU won't offer scholarships then you can't hold Kerwin accountable for his record. JU is private, costs a fortune, is a small school in a not so nice part of Jax (campus is pretty though), and Jax itself isn't exactly a fun town. Why shouldna football player take his talents there while paying a fortune out of his pocket?
Ahhhh that's who I was thinking of...UNF. They have a nice campus, had some HS classmates that went there.
Some of us actually have reading comprehension, or can muster enough of it to recognize "here in central Florida" as an expression of the local news situation.
Which follows the vulgar-but-widespread rule "if
A lot of the rest of the local reporting, notably even on an allegedly conservative local radio station that promotes itself with the blurb "the 3 things you need to know", often presents celebrity cr@p instead of worthwhile news.

IF Nuss is a candidate for a head coaching job, then hiring Kerwin would be a good idea imo.
Always liked the throwin' May-O-win!

Navigator senses compugator is butthurt living in the Mickey The Rat kingdom. Orlando deserves Bianchi.
Sorry, my point was that Kerwin never seemed interested in taking the numerous bigger gigs offered to him.
This situation may change that, and would love to have him here.
