From Richmond to Bradley?? Head Coach to Assistant?? Interesting moveComment

Jeff Getttler has had a lot of success at Richmond. Here is his bio-
Gettler resigned in early December, and no reason was ever made public.
Jim Derose worked as an assistant under Jeff Gettler before he became Bradley's head coach in 1995. Since BU had an open assistant position, this appears to be a good move that makes sense for Bradley.Comment

Why would you think it isn't a good move to fill a position on the staff that was open for the last 5 months with one of the more successful and well known soccer coaches in the country, someone with extensive recruiting connections throughout the eastern US, someone who has a wealth of coaching experience, and someone who Coach Derose has already established a great working relationship?Comment

Their loss is our gain as far as I'm concerned. I think part of the reason Bradley had some struggles this year was directly related to not having a full coaching staff. It had to make it hard to integrate all those new players into the system when the staff is shorthanded.Comment

I wonder why if he was so successful and talented why he did not apply for other head coaching positions. Richmonds RPI continued to drop year after year, one bad year does not cause a coach to leave
Well hoping he is a positive addition to BUComment
