Skeered to face WVU?

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals]

Or just time to move on after 23 seasons, 2 more than Nehlen had at WVU?

Bryan Collins, Long Island University head football coach for 23 seasons, resigned 3 months before the Sharks are scheduled to play West Virginia University in Morgantown at 5 p.m. Saturday, September 11. And lesser competition in Florida Atlantic and Miami of Ohio (NOT Florida).

After 1 1/3 seasons in Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision, he’s called it quits.

Collins was tabbed as LIU's head coach in 1998, became the program's all-time winningest leader and also spent time as the school's athletics director. His teams posted 16 winning seasons and captured seven conference championships prior to the school's leap to the D-1 level.

The first season in D-1, in 2019, was a rude awakening. 0-10 instead of winning seasons 16 of 21 years.

Too much of a change for Collins? Or too old for the tougher challenge?

After just one full season as the program's head coach at the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision level and an abbreviated spring 2021 slate, Bryan Collins has stepped down from the Long Island University football program.
Collins announced the move Sunday on Twitter.
He had helmed the Sharks' program for 23 seasons, the last 14 games of which were as an FCS competitor in the Northeast Conference.
After an 0-10 debut as a D-1 program in 2019, the Sharks engineered a bit of a breakthrough in their four-game spring season that concluded in March.
Collins helped lead LIU to season-opening and season-ending wins against Bryant University and Merrimack College, respectively.
In the process of what proved to be Collins' farewell mini-season atop the Sharks' program, he was named one of 16 finalists for the Eddie Robinson Award given annually to the top coach in the FCS.
The Sharks also saw seven players honored as All-NEC in Collins' final season.
Collins was tabbed as LIU's head coach in 1998, became the program's all-time winningest leader and also spent time as the school's athletics director. His teams posted 16 winning seasons and captured seven conference championships prior to the school's leap to the D-1 level.
Though LIU has not formally commented on its plan to replace Collins, college coaches had on Sunday started the process of vetting the opportunity atop the Sharks' program, coaches with knowledge of the situation told FootballScoop.
LIU is scheduled to open its fall 2021 campaign at Florida International Sept. 2. The Sharks have two more games against Football Bowls Subdivision opponents in the ensuing weeks – at West Virginia on Sept. 11 and at Miami (Ohio) Sept. 18 before they transition into NEC play.

So...you have just proven...by your own admission and repost...that you truly are an intellectual property thief who will steal from anybody so you can look somewhat intelligent as a poster. If you had been a real journalist as your persona insists you would be appalled by your own actions. Plagiarism is a crime. If you are really a 13 year old pounding away on a computer in a basement then your constant need for attention is simply irritating. Ever wonder why you have the worst likes to posts replies ratio on this board and the two main competitive boards as well? The answer is simple...nobody enjoys debating or communicating with a fake. Why any moderator would let you continue is hard to grasp. Your 24 hour cycle of look at me threads and foul language when addressed is killing this site. Now go play some more miniature golf...pretend you are on a real golf course... and have a nice day.
