Buddy’s Back For Another Year
The Valley News reports that Coach T. will be back for at least another season. President Kim announced Buddy’s continuation as coach at the football team’s season-ending banquet on Sunday.
When it was his turn to speak, Kim gave many in the room the news they wanted to hear, affirming that Buddy Teevens will continue as football coach. “It was a telling moment,” said acting athletic director Bob Ceplikas, who spoke just before Kim. “You had to see the reaction of the players when the president announced that Buddy was staying on as coach. “They were just so enthusiastic.”
Ceplikas went on to say:
“We feel that in light of the number of obstacles that were in place that we’ve made tremendous progress. When you look at the on-the-field performance of the freshman and sophomores you can see we are headed in the right direction in terms of talent. We feel as though all signs are pointing toward going in the right direction.”
Ceplikas did not define “obstacles” in his comment to the Valley News, but Dartblog takes these latter remarks, and Cep’s reference to the contribution of the team’s freshmen and sophomores, as affirmation of our recent analysis of Coach Teevens.
Note: The D has still not picked up this story. Perhaps the football team is not important to the folks over there — except as a target for criticism.
