When Old Dominion athletic director Wood Selig began his search last week for a new football coach, it was crystal clear what the Monarchs needed.
During a disastrous 2019 season, in which ODU lost its last 11 games, the Monarchs were ranked 128th among the 130 FBS schools in total offense and 127thin scoring.
So Selig, along with President John R. Broderick and senior associate athletic director Bruce Stewart, sought out an offensive innovator and a proven leader, someone who has a sterling reputation for obeying the rules, scoring points and who has produced under pressure at a Power 5 program.
