MOTHERWAY NAMED HEAD COACH
February 6, 2008
Although it has not been announced to the public, it is widely suspected that Catamounts Tight Ends and Special Teams coach, David Motherway, has been elevated to head coach of the Catamounts for 2008.
Motherway succeeds coach Darren Haynes as the Catamounts search for a "new direction". After a 5-3 regular season under Haynes, the Catamounts were defeated in the semi-finals of the Northeast Independent Football League (NIFL) playoffs by the Vermont Ravens. Expectations are high for 2008 as the Cats return 20 of 22 starters and they are considered poised to make another NIFL championship run.
One new direction, that has been reported by a source close to the team, is that the wide open West Coast Offense of 2007 has been replaced by a triple option offense. There has not been any word yet on whether the Cats will also change their attacking 4-3 defense in favor of a different structure. Either way, Coach Motherway has already put his stamp on the 2008 Catamounts.
COACHING CHANGE FOR 2008
January 2, 2008 - 09:15 PM
The New Year will probably bring a new head coach to the Vermont Catamounts Club team as I, coach Darren Haynes, recieved the news tonight that I am being let go. The representative from the UVM Club Football Team, that I spoke to at length, refused to disclose the reasons for the change saying only that the Club, "wishes to go in another direction".
Needless to say, I am shocked by the revelation and am curious as to the teams "new direction".
For the record, I do not wish to be replaced by the Catamounts, but I have been told that the possibility of my return is slim to none. I do, however, respect their decision and wish them well in the future. The 2007 season was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I have not been around such an enthusiastic goup of players since my days at LSU and I will miss them all.
Since I maintain this entirely alone, I am not sure if I will continue to update the site in the future. I have been informed that the new website will be located at: www.uvmfootball.com.
I hope that the enthusiasm and excitement of and for UVM football continues to grow. To my former players, good luck, and the fans and supporters, thank you for a great 2007.
- Darren Haynes
