If we dont end up keeping coach Mack, Delmonico is probably the best guy out their by far. But it will be pretty hard for us to beat out UCF in hiring him Considering our facilities and salary offers.

What is the chance that if he is hired Coach Lopez will be retained?
You never know what the new coach will do, I would expect him to bring his own people on staff, now if Mac is hired, that is a different story.

I get the feeling that Angelo's might not want to stay in house, for some reason. JMO.
Like you mentioned Mac has been part of the building process and a HUGE part of where the program is today, and there is no secrets about his recruiting abilities.
Will he get a fair chance?

I have found the past few weeks very interesting. The "National Search" for a new head coach was definitely a surprise for me. When Coach Cooney resigned, I felt that Mac was the obvious choice. Personally, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mac and feel that he deserves the job. It is not as if the program needs to clean house. That generally only happens when a head coach is fired. Mac has been with FAU for a long time and he has helped build the program into what it is today, a nationally respected program that continues to get guys drafted. With Rod Delmonico, sure, you get a guy who has world series experience..but in the SEC…if you don't go there, something is wrong with your coaching ability. Frankly, it is interesting to me why he isn't a finalist for the Southern Miss job or the Auburn job for that matter, both SEC schools. I think bringing in anyone other than Mac would be a mistake for the program and would destroy the atmosphere that surrounds the program. Mac is not only respected by the players but respected by the community. He also commands the respect from his players and not only helps them become better players, but better people as well. Rod Delmonico is a name…but thats it. FAU needs to give coach mac the opportunity to show that he can be the next head coach of Florida Atlantic…they owe it to him.
Perfectly stated, let's see if they do the right thing. I'm not going to hold my breath. >:(
GO OWLS!
