He who? GG? Not sure who you mean. Basically, Bernard is GG’s buddy and they needed a place to put him…not that he was effective. Considering the number of pooch kickoffs and out of bounds kickoffs it doesn’t look like he was.

Hopefully that work starts with firing this guy. Every place they stick him in this program falls apart. If they stuck him in the laundry room our kids would come out in tube tops.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

 

Gattuso named FCS Coach of Year

Gattuso

University at Albany head coach Greg Gattuso was named Tuesday as the American Football Coaches Association FCS Coach of the Year.

Gattuso, in his 10th season, guided UAlbany to the best season in program history. The Great Danes went 11-4 and reached the Football Championship Subdivision playoff semifinals before losing to eventual national champion South Dakota State.

 

“It’s truly an honor to receive this award knowing that it was voted upon by my peers in college football,” Gattuso said in a news release. “This showcases the hard work and dedication from both the staff and the student-athletes - it’s a team award. They are the ones who made this season what it was, I cannot thank them enough.”

Gattuso was honored in December as the AFCA FCS Region 1 (Northeast) Coach of the Year, nominating him for the national award.
