It's always bittersweet to hear about a key part of the coaching staff leaving for a different job. But when the new job involves a move to a BCS-level program, it does take away a little bit of the sting. Coaching veteran Dave Kotulski , who was Lehigh's linebackers coach and defensive coordinator, will be taking a position as the inside linebackers coach at Stanford.

I've tried to stay out of this FBS realignment talk.  Really I have. Like many of you, I see the headlines scroll by on Twitter, and try to make some sense of it all - Texas A&M to the SEC!  Conference USA and the Mountain West merge!  Texas State goes to the WAC!  But in many ways, it's like Tibetan soccer to me: a foreign sport that has little to nothing to do with the goings-on in the league I care about, the Patriot League. That all changed with talk that Temple could be joining the Big East . These talks about Temple joining the conference - a school in direct competition for the heart and soul of the Philadelphia market with one of its current members - could be the move that destabilizes everything.
