CJP was considered by coaches, including Wade, to be a very good offensive coach and that’s big nowadays. He also has worked in the public school system and can speak with prospective family’s and their child(ren). He’s worked at a school with 1,600 students and raised money for his program. There’s staff continuity with his brother being the QB coach the last few years helping create a preseason Mr Football candidate (3,000 yp and 30 TDs). He knows the community well as well as the alums. His father was one of the most well respected men to ever work at DCA which will create good will for CJP. CJP took HC jobs as a young man that nobody wanted to try and help those programs which shows he’s not afraid to work hard. Parents who know football and Jay have contacted me today from other D2 programs wanting to take a look at DCA now.
As probably the guy with the most history and experience as the son of a former coach there, a player, alum, coach, and parent of three alums I believe in coach Pierce and am comfortable in saying that he will be very successful there.
