What’s in store heading into 2024?

One of the better, if not the best, OLmen in the recent past for Valpo. Good to see him back.

Isn't he the guy who helped set up the games with New Mexico?

Yes. Has been on staff at NMSU as a GA. This is a GREAT hire and he's connected to the university community in number of ways. Should bring som stability.

I have zero concern over our recruiting when it comes to the defensive side of the ball and kicking specialists. Fox has had his D scheme in place and stable since he arrived. Yeah, the assistant coach revolving door has impacted defense some, but it always comes down to Fox. He knows what he needs and who he wants there in the recruiting cycle. Our defense keeps our program competitive in just about every PFL contest.

Question: but how do you recruit for specific offensive talent when the O scheme changes from year to year based on an unstable staff and, alas, what appears to be no clear, consistent and established vision season to season?

We've

this as well numerous times. I certainly wish I could be a fly on the wall in the AD/HFBC meetings.

Can anyone here confirm whether or not Coach Prevost will return as OL coach in 2024? He no longer appears on the official staff page, but he also has not announced that on social media that he is coaching elsewhere. Wondering of Jarnigan will get his own room as OL coach...

According to his twitter profile Prevost is now with Cope Plastics. So not coaching Valpo OL in 2024 -- or anywhere.

Well, I hope Fox gets a OL coach who knows the value of mixing up plays. Predictability gives Valpo opponent a huge advantage so stop using the same play on every 1st, 2nd attempt. Mix it up, use the WR/TE to get first downs. Work on QB improving field vision (makes a difference on broken plays) to capitalize on throwing to whoever's actually open. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Valpo football, I miss it...
