David Bennett Fired

[catualum]

Just saw where former Heac Coach David Bennett was fired ("reassigned") by Coastal Carolina, this after a 7-4 season and going 29-28 in the last five seasons. If he were still at Catawba, he'd get a raise after a record like that.

I hope he lands on his feet. He has lots of years left on a 10 year contract so won't be hurting financially. I wonder if he might now become a candidate for the position at Western Carolina.

What took Western Carolina so long to pull the trigger on firing Wagner? That move was about 2 years overdue. They lost a number of players to transfer a few of whom are on Catawba's roster.

Bennett seems like kind of a weird guy as evidenced by the video that went viral the week before Catawba played them. WCU needs discipline and a coach who can recruit the right players and develop the players they recruit.
