So if I coach 5th-6th grade flag football I can now be a coach’s assistant at Valpo, got it! Lol

An assistant position Coach does not do much at the Colegiate level and is usually a volunteer.

thats how you build a coaching tree at this level. Get as many GAs and volunteer help as possible. Hope some pan out and remain loyal to the coach. Way more cost effective than hiring out

So someone that doesn’t even have a college degree or college playing experience yet you’re fine with helping coach? Makes sense 🙄 🙄

I think Mr or Mrs "support"'s characterization of this guy as a glorified water boy is likely the closest to the truth. Valpo's not making this "announcement". It's coming from the writer.

I want VU to succeed in football, but crap like this just makes it hard for them to be taken seriously

Why is a guy who works for the university still using the old mascot?

There is no evidence that he does. He does not appear on the FB staff directory (which is updated rather quickly with changes).  There has been no announcement. No mention  on any Valpo X site.  And no mention on the unofficial football insider X site Valpo_huddle. Everything, so far,  is speculation based on HIS X post.  I recall back a few years some kid announcing he had committed to VU basketball ……. but it was a scam. And a lot of us on this board got sandbagged by that. Let’s wait to judge till there is something concrete.

Good gracious.  So much acrimony over a kid who isn't listed anywhere.

it just looks embarrassing for a “D1” football program looking for respect. If you don’t get that, then I don’t know what to tell you. The kid is saying he’s a “paid” coach to a lot of people around the Region, as well as what he posted on X.

So someone who is apparently a "kid" is running around saying he is being paid by a University which has yet to even acknowledge a relationship at all and that's going to lead to the type of cantankerous responses you've put up? 

Why is this embarrassing to the University?
