Coaching changes in I-AA

Matt Dougherty's latest article on I-AA coaching changes for 2006 has several points of interest for UMass fans.

His article covers the changes at Hofstra. The Pride is a member of the A10 North division. Any UMass road to the playoffs includes a regular season game against the team from Long Island. More to the point, the Pride has knocked UMass out of the playoffs in two of the last four years. Any changes there definitely impact UMass.

The other section of interest is coverage of former UMass Coach Jimmie Reid at VMI. It is unlikely that UMass and VMI will meet in football, but Reid is still held in high regard by the UMass faithful.

An article about Reid's first spring practice with the Kaydets is here.
