Taking some time out from discussing the players, it's time to evaluate the coaching staff. I can't name any starters per se, but going down the roster unit by unit will give an idea of how this team will mold.
To start, let's try the head honcho. Rob Ambrose was introduced as the fourth head coach of Towson's program in January of 2009. Since he has been on campus, he has made it clear that this program will and must change for the better.
His point was heard loudly and has been since March 27, when the team took to the practice field for the first time this spring. Most of the campus heard it, as the intensity and volume were turned up higher than ever before. Coaches and players were screaming throughout their drills, and the tempo was the fastest it's ever been for a Towson practice.
Ambrose has started a great deal of new drills and plays in the relatively short time being here, and one of his greatest accomplishments was putting together a staff of assistants and position coaches that buy into his vision of the program's future.
"You better hire a bunch of people that are smarter than you, and listen," was the advice Ambrose received from his father, a long time football coach as well.
Can Ambrose's philosophy translate into wins on the gridiron? It's too early to tell - that's why they play the games. One thing is for certain, things will be different.
