With the retirement of head coach Bob Spoo, both coordinators were told they were not in the running for the head position and to look for other jobs.

Hmm. I didn't realize Wittke ended up back at EIU. Chris Hatcher pretty much had him lined up as our OC before Northern Illinois jumped in.

Wittke knows the FCS landscape quite well. He might be able to take his offense to Cullowhee and provide Western Carolina some stability.

WCU sure needs to stay away from running the option ;)
