There are three open head coaching jobs that we’re aware of, and here’s what we know about them:
Kings Point (3-7, 3-4 Liberty League in 2004)
Tim McNulty resigned at the end of March and the school intends to introduce his replacement tomorrow afternoon. All indications from the rumor mill point to Mike Toop, head coach at Division I-AA non-scholarship Davidson. Toop is an alumnus of the institution, also known as the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He’s 17-22 at Davidson, which has moved recently to playing almost exclusively I-AA schools instead of mostly I-AA and a handful of D-IIIs.
Pomona-Pitzer (4-5, 3-3 SCIAC)
Roger Caron left the school in early April to coach at Cheshire Academy in Cheshire, Conn. The school still has his name on the Web site and his voice and name are still on the voice mail. That’s because Pomona-Pitzer believes Caron is taking a one-year leave of absence, according to athletic director Charles Katsiaficas, who expects Caron to return next spring. Scott Rynne will coach the team in 2005.
Waynesburg (7-4, 3-2 PAC)
Jeff Hand left for conference rival Westminster (Pa.). The school says it intends to go through a search and hire a “permanent” replacement but time is awful short for that.
Also, Brent Becker was named interim head coach at Lake Forest in February, but will be coaching there in 2005. A search will begin at the end of the season.
17-22 at Davidson? 2-7 last year, 3-8 the year before? How many of those 17 precious wins are against actual I-AA schools and how many are against Division III?
Looks like he was 7-1 against Division III schools, 10-21 against everyone else.
I should also mention one other transaction that crossed our desk this week:
WESTMINSTER (MO.) — Troy Tomlin has been named assistant football coach. Tomlin replaces Scott Pingel who has accepted a teaching and coaching position at Christian Brothers College High School in St. Louis. Tomlin has been head coach of the Braunschweig Lions in the German Football League from 2001-04, and previously served as defensive coordinator of the Lions from 1994-2000. Tomlin graduated from Simpson in 1991 with a major in communications.
I see that Tim McNulty, the outgoing Kings Point coach, signed on as offensiv coordinator at Wilkes.
Off subject here, but I don’t find an area where high school coaches like myself can post my resume in hopes of moving to the next level. Couls someone please guide to an area of the D3 forum if there is one?
Thanks,

Coach,
Good question. We only really go in the other direction, with the job listings on the front page.
