Karcher Future

[Sly Fox]

If in fact Coach Karcher's contract is up (and that is only hearsay on this board), then I would expect the Athletic Department to either announce a contract extension or that he is gone. Considering the way the season ended, I assume the latter is not really a concern at the moment.

That being the case, the sooner he gets his extension the better. Opposing coaches use these types of issues to sway prospects away from committing to programs. If Coach Karcher is the man, then he needs to have that assurance to give to prospects. And if he is not, then we need to get a new staff pronto with the February signing day rapidly approaching.

Karcher's contract is up according to the Lynchburg News & Advance article...no word on decision.

They need to give this guy an extension. Sure, we've all seen him make some stupid calls from the sidelines, but he's getting players who can play. LU's been one quarterback away from being a very good program for a long time. If he can finally get us a good qb, we'll be sniffing the top 25 in a year or two.

Farrell is a good QB. What is he, something like 5-1 as a starter. I think Johnson is good as well. I just hope that Karcher sticks to these types of QBs (more mobile).

However, Karcher's problem now next year (if he is back...still waiting to hear decision on this)...is running backs with Goodman, Gado, and Barnes all gone.

Every day the administration stalls on making a decision, the more precarious our situation in the recruiting game becomes.

Let's either extend his contract now or move in a different direction.

The dead period is fast approaching meaning that if a change is in order, any new coach would have an EXTEMELY short period of time to round up a class.
