It is b/w Rizzi and Talley.
Any one have info. on Talley?

It's got to be Rizzi. But what I'm floored about is the following:


Maine's Jack Cosgrove has withdrawn his name from consideration, according to a report from the Associated Press. Late last week, Pete Adrian decided to remain as head football coach at Norfolk State, where he was 8-3 and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference coach of the year this season.

Cosgrove???? Adrian I could kid of understand. But Cosgrove?

UNH, UMASS, UMAINE, et al, vote for Coach Talley, ....

Talley is a good guy, I think he will do a good job. Rizzi would be nice, but I think Talley is the best fit.

Young and a bit inexperienced but nonetheless a good resume. I don't think he'd be a bad choice.

Thank GOD Cosgrove withdrew his name. Narragansett Bay is cold this time of year.

ABC6 Sports has learned that URI will name former All-American tight end Darren Rizzi its new head football coach.

He will be officially introduced at a 3:00 pm news conference tomorrow at URI.

Rizzi was chosen over the other finalist, Maine head coach Jack Cosgrove.

Darren Rizzi was a walk-on at URI in 1990 and ended up earning a starting spot and leaving as an All-American tight end in 1992.

Rizzi has been the associate head coach at Rutgers University.

He sounds like a good pick. Hope he works out .

Ah yes, the land of idiocy known as the Providence Journal message board. FYI dude, those people (except for Neil) know notta about football. My favorite was Rhode Island Red, a guy who once got his @$$ kicked and his girlfriend stolen by a URI football player. So now poor Red goes on that board and complains and cries about how he hates URI football.

In your face Red! xlolx

Thanks a lot URI! xmadx xmadx xmadx

Jeff, your buddy Cosgrove withdrew his own name. Maybe you should thank the nice folks in Orono xthumbsupx , who obviously did something to make him want to stay.
