Football Staff

The coaching staff is 9 plus the interns. Under Dave C it was 9 plus student assistants...anywhere from 1 to 3. Maybe bringing in the interns is a step up.

Football is a team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of eleven players. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries and dependencies, making it the world's most popular sport. Every Team have 6 to 10 staff member like- Coach, Head Coach, Physician,Doctor etc.

GOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!
Perhaps we should get Sepp Blatter on the Valpo trustee board. He is a man of integrity.

This kid looks like a real stud rushing from the edge. Great speed and apparent strength.

Yes can never be too sure on transfers but I think Twiggs job just became a lot harder to earn

JD24 · June 06, 2019, 02:21:36 PM

Maybe but he's a bit small for a DL and I don't think he played either year at ETSU.

usc4valpo · June 06, 2019, 03:41:43 PM

Strange going from scholarship to non scholarship. We will see.

He's an engineering student so there may be more than football as a motivator.

usc4valpo · June 07, 2019, 08:51:01 PM

That is good to hear - academics ALWAYS should take preference in the Valpo football program.

valpofb16 · July 15, 2019, 08:51:12 AM

Ed Reny has joined the staff as a tight end coach

Grad Assistant O-Line Coach at Wayne State: 2017-18
Playing Career at Wayne State: 32 GP 2 GS-Oline

Not sure what this means for Zach Greiner's future with program however having two tight end coaches for three kids seems unlikely....

Appears to be a clean sweep of the Cecchini era

VULB#62 · July 15, 2019, 09:02:30 AM

Greiner is still listed on the FB staff page at this point. We'll see.

valpofb16 · July 15, 2019, 09:16:01 AM

In case parents/former players are wondering where former coaches landed from 2018

HC: Dave Cecchini-HC Bucknell University (FCS)
OC/WR: Jason Miran OC/QB Bucknell University (FCS)
OL: Vincent Giacalone-OL Bucknell University (FCS)
DC/DB: Ernest Moore- N/A
TE/ST: John Snyder- WR Chesterton (HS)
DL/S&T: Tony Rouse- N/A
LB: Rob Tulcin- LB Lawrence University (D3)
RB: Jerome Smith - DL St. Thomas University (D3)
OLB: Zach Greiner - Valpo? TE
DSA: Jake Iery- OLB Northern State University (D2)

Can confirm Greiner is ousted

VULB#62 · July 15, 2019, 04:03:22 PM

Ousted or did he leave for a different job?

JD24 · July 17, 2019, 01:26:11 PM

Coach Greiner is still on the Valpo Athletics website and he still is listed on his twitter id as Valpo's TEs coach. Meanwhile Coach Reny shows Valpo and appears to have been active with Valpo for at least a month.

Are we sure there's been a change rather than simply an add?

JD24 · July 20, 2019, 08:55:23 AM

Greiner no longer listed on the Valpo site. Reny is having his suit pressed to have his pic posted.

Assistant OL coach at Ball State

VULB#62 · July 20, 2019, 05:25:22 PM

Win/win. Glad Greiner landed on his feet. Glad Fox has his own 100% staff. For Greiner, that is a pretty big leap. From PFL to MAC.

IndyValpo · December 23, 2019, 01:50:17 PM

No surprise one of our interns Brandon Frase has taken a DB coaching job at D2 Kentucky Wesleyan.

IndyValpo · January 02, 2020, 12:21:43 PM

WR coach Figaro is now at Lenoir-Rhyne in North Carolina. LR names a new coach from Notre Dame College where he was an assistant prior to Valpo

JD24 · January 02, 2020, 05:10:16 PM

I'm probably late to the party with this but has Coach Bucar always been listed as Assistant Head Coach or has this title been recently added?

Yes he has...

valpofb16 · January 03, 2020, 05:03:19 PM

That's a paid assistant leaving and going "down" a level, with kids quitting, amount returning and a coaching shuffle on offense that side of the ball has some major questions

usc4valpo · January 03, 2020, 05:10:54 PM

Let's be honest - the Valpo offense was unacceptable and a total overhaul is not out of the question.

JD24 · January 04, 2020, 11:34:22 AM

I don't think Figaro moving to L-R is a step down in any fashion. That's a program that played a one score game in a playoff game vs. the eventual Div II champion. They probably beat every PFL team save SD.
