Friday marked the end of an era in West Virginia’s football program. The university posted a job opening for the position of “Program Coordinator – Football Recruiting.”

Assist in the day-to-day administration of recruitment for football student-athletes. Organize the recruitment of prospective football student-athletes, liaison with the University admissions office and managing official and unofficial visits.

This is new to WVU, but isn’t a rarity in college football. You see a number of teams making a seemingly obvious decision to dedicate a full-time person to this all-important task that shapes the future of the program. At WVU, though, it ushers out the days of superhero assistant coaches like Doc Holliday, Herb Hand, Tony Gibson and Chris Beatty who were revered because they were full-time assistants and full-time recruiting bosses.

I suppose now we begin the guessing game as to who gets this gig.
