Castleton State job draws interest The head coaching position for the Castleton State football program that will make its debut in 2009 has attracted considerable interest. Athletic director Deanna Tyson said the number of applications as of Friday was "just under a hundred." She said they ranged from a junior high coach to a former NFL player and included young coaches and those with more than 20 years of experience. Tyson said the plan is to hire the full-time head coach and one full-time assistant by early spring. They will be on the job July 1 when they will be charged with recruiting for the inaugural season and with completing the staff which will be comprised of two more part-time coaches and a graduate assistant. Tyson said the team will likely play the minimum seven games required by the NCAA in 2009 which would mean six North Atlantic Conference games and one non-conference game against an opponent that will likely be selected by the new coach. -- Tom Haley |
