Word from Geneva is that over 200 applicants have posted for the open Defensive Coordinator (DC) position at Hobart College. Head Coach Mike Cragg has whittled down the candidates to an initial group and plans to start interviewing them soon.
It's not surprising the open position has drew so much given the reputation of the Hobart program (not to mention a likely high preseason ranking and having two All-Americans on the defensive side of the ball).
Speaking of great defenders, one of the Statesmen's best ever CB's, Drake Woodard '12, will join former DC Scott Yoder '01 who's now the Head Football Coach at Shenandoah University (VA).
Woodard worked on the Hobart Football staff last fall as a graduate assistant, coaching the WR unit. No word on who Coach Cragg will bring in to cover this opening, but trust it will be filled soon. The Statesmen WR corp brings a number of players back in 2013 but will need at least one Statesmen to step into the "deep threat" role given the graduation of Drake's brother Junior Woodard '13 (maybe Junior will follow in his brother's footsteps into coaching?).
We wish Drake and Coach Yoder the best as they work to turn around the Shenandoah program. I'll post any updates on the DC search in the coming weeks.
