Jonathan Quinn at Davidson is also a former NFL OB

Trent Dilfer is the new head coach. Trust me.. what a huge hire for this program.

He’ll be the Dabo Sweeney of HS football. 

If he try's to play with MBA, Brentwood Academy, McCallie, etc... he will get his backside kicked because no matter how good he is with X's & O's he will not have the studs to execute the game plan.  Is Lipscomb going to reach out in the Greater Nashville area and recruit the type of athletes needed to play with the big boys?

Why is this a huge hire? NFL experience does not translate automatically to being a good coach, and he has zero experience as a high school coach. He's totally unproven.

Its a total stepping away from the McAdams/Tillman era.   Purge with assistant coaches is happening also

Has he ever coached?

They are committing 1 million per year to their athletics department for financial aid. It sounds like to me they just got serious about football again.

You are correct about one committing to Lipscomb University for volleyball.

150K was the number when Ingle Martin turned the job down in December.

Truly not trying to be a smart a** but why would you feel that you could MAYBE compete with CPA at some point?  Do what you have to do to be successful or fold up your tent and get out of the football business.  For the life of me I don't understand the defeated before we begin philosophy.
