I think it's actually ESPN2, but whatever.

Richmond's offense looks pretty good...certainly creative. It looks like Clawson left them in pretty good shape.

Their OC is a familiar name, too. Mike Faragalli was the OC under Blackney twice. Hmmm....

It was nice to see Richmond take the championship and it'd be great if we were able to get a couple guys from that coaching staff, especially ones that are familiar with Clawson and the type of ball he wants to play.
Mike Faragalli note

what a pleasure it was to see in this post the reference to Mike Faragalli as the OC for Richmond (1st year there). I did not know he was there! Mike recruited me back in 1991 and was the big reason for GB's (first GB - not the second) success. He came right from the Canadian Football League - which was "pass happy" - and utilized it into our offense.
the key was he had the same players Ankney had the year before - but he styled the offense to the players/talent he had. 3-5-2 in Ankney's last season the year before - 1991, the Fightin' Falcons went 11-1 with the same offensive weapons. Again - he coached his offense with the talent he had. SOUND FAMILIAR?
I am super excited to see what DC brings to the table. Roll Along brethren.
**thanks again for the update about Faragalli - was a class act while @ BG.

Oh shut up. You're going to make him even more insufferable.
If that's possible.

I can't hear you over the sounds of the heavens opening and the trumpeting of angels.
I was impressed that I remembered at all. I figured I had just heard his name somewhere and associated it with BG. But to be right? Again? Whoa.
Though he's only been at Richmond for a year, so he has no overlap with Clawson, other than what an AD or fellow coaches may recommend. One interesting note I saw from their coaching staff, their WR coach has been there five years and is their NE Ohio/Western PA (along with other parts of the midwest) recruiter. He's a younger guy and I don't know how good he is, but it jumped out at me.
