SloStang Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 It is official: http://www.goarmysports.com/ViewArticle.db...;ATCLID=3637320 Big loss for Cal Poly. I am hoping that they name OC Ian Shields or DC Pyam Saadat as the new head coach. Should be an interesting couple of weeks ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloStang Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I saw this on ticker on ESPN at bar. Why would he go to Army? Sad. Ellerson's father, two brothers and nephew are grads of West Point. His older brother was a captain on the Army football team in the 60's. He let Cal Poly know back in 2001 when he was hired that Army was the only team he would leave Cal Poly for. In fact I have read that he had it put in his contract that he could leave for Army without penalty. This is his dream job. It is not about the money. Ellerson has been approached numerous times by FBS schools and he declined to interview with any of them. Sad day for Cal Poly, but a great day for Rich Ellerson. I wish him well. He left the program at Cal Poly a whole lot better than he found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
