He was not hired back in March or even April. He was hired last week and met the team on Thursday.

Are you saying he needs more clearances to be a football coach than he would as a teacher?

The long wait in the hiring process had nothing to do with clearances etc. It was the result of a botched attempt to hire a coach beginning back in January.

That being said, from what I hear, the botched effort may end up working in Westmont's favor. The board may come out of this smelling like a rose. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Everything I have heard about Matt Glennon has been positive. It looks like he will bring a lot of discipline and accountability to the football program. Some of the returning players are in for a rude awakening.

For those that complained about McLaurin's lack of discipline, will experience a 180 degree turnaround in that department. The Hilltoppers will be back.

Dok, he has been hired as a teacher for nearly a couple of months but it did not go public until he was hired as a football coach. He also met with the team last Wednesday not Thursday.

Colonel and Dok, If he was hired as a teacher a couple of months age, then why did Westmont advertise for a social studies teacher in the beginning of May? This position was to replace the retiring teacher.
