Bad news in Owl Country.
We'll set aside the basketball coach search for a second, because while trying to figure out who it might be, I found out FAU is losing another very important coach.
The Suit confirmed Monday night that strength coach Tony Smith is leaving, heading back to his hometown in South Carolina to coach at the high school he graduated from.
Strength coach is a hugely important position, and FAU's recent football success can be traced to Smith being hired three years ago. Word got around quickly, and the players were dismayed at the prospect of losing Coach Smith. They revered the guy.
He came in after stints at Mississippi and Clemson, so knew what it took to compete in the SEC and ACC, and soon had FAU players reaching new heights.
Under the NCAA rules, strength coaches have more contact with players than any other coach. The Voice raved about Tony, and understood his impact on the program.
Good luck to Tony, and good luck to The Voice and The Suit in finding a replacement.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

We know what we're looking for in a strength coach, so that's a positive of all this.
Good luck to him back home, too!

Basketball is another story….
Not all that much we could have done about baseball, if the coach wants to retire. Besides the next baseball coach will be what? The 3rd in our history? Not bad for a program that has been around about 30 years.

On the other hand we cant take 3-4 weeks or months to replace people on our staff.
