181pl Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 who will replace him? Gruden? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1901VeniceCub Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 With firsthand knowledge, replacing a longtime coaching legend and face of the program is extremely difficult. My only suggestion is to make an in-house hire already coaching within the program. Someone with intimate knowledge of the inside of the football walls. Do not, and I repeat, do not hire an alum and former assistant coach, who hasn’t stepped foot on campus in over a decade—even if that person has had coaching success in a separate state at a fellow Catholic school football powerhouse. You might still find yourself in the playoffs, but at a lower division than you’re traditionally accustomed to…over a decade later and multiple staff changes after that coaching legend’s departure. But what the hell do I know. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The infrastructure is in place and there are too many valuable pieces already on the coaching staff. No major overhaul coming. That would be a huge mistake and everyone in the community knows it. The changing of the guard will be smooth. 19 starters return to next years team, Rollo is leaving the program in great shape. He’s 73. Things will continue very similar to how they have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDrop Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Rollinson is 72, DeMatha’s Bill McGregor is 73, I am 75. There are body parts that start to hurt after you turn 70. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badrouter Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Very strong staff already in place. Assuming many will stay, and at least one is willing to be HC, they'll be in great shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if Eric Johnson retires also. It would make sense and perfect timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Johnson was with Rollinson in 1989 and through the 90s (according to my game program haha). Kelly might be headed for a job at a higher level, otherwise he'd be a great hire. Pat Dubar is said to be "Director of Player Personnel", so you'd want to keep him around. I really got the impression the staff carried the program in recent years. So, they should be well equipped to make the transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckburghsfinest1987 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 kind of a shock since he barely mentioned over a month ago, that he would return for next season: https://news.scorebooklive.com/national/2022/10/05/mater-dei-coach-bruce-rollinson-plans-to-return-for-35th-football-season-in-2023-report i wonder if it is still related to the drama of the hazing incident last year?
