What kind of salary does a VMI head coach and his staff usually make?

"He quickly emerged as the top candidate for this position, and he articulated a vision and plan for moving our football program back to a position of competitive prominence in the Southern Conference.”

Just a question for those that might know. When was VMI competitively prominent in the Southern Conference?

[Milktruck74]

A military guy that coached at UVA....yeah, good fit.

A win over FU in their last SoCon game of the year at home (11/14/81) would have given them the SoCon Championship, but the Keydets lost 33-21 and seem to have yet to recover.

[DoWe]

That's a mighty long time ago. The Keydets new AD wants to be the Man but not face reality of his situation. VMI is a dark-hole for football coaches.

We did they only play 8 games ... were they trying to outdo the Ivies?

Never done it before, but I think I just updated the Wikipedia page from where I 'extracted' this info with the correct info...based on kdinva's 'word'....dang...is it really that easy to change Wikipedia? Hmmmm....I just may become a former All-American Football Player, Coach, and NFL 1st round draft choice (all today)..as far as 'you' know. xsmiley_wix
